Hey guys sorry if this is a repost but i was wondering how do you put a after market bov in the RB20.

Does the stock bov have to stay or can you take it off and put an aftermarket bov in its place? If this it right wouldnt it have to be a plumb back blow off valve so that it still dumps the air back into the air box. It will stall if the air is not returned to the system, yes?

The thing is i dont want it to return to the airbox i want to have it venting straight out. How is this done effectively. Would you have to plumb in an aftermarket bov and leave the stock bov there aswell?

cheers

ive goty a turbo smart type 2 on my 32. what i did was remove the stock one plug up the return hose with a plug that was supplyed with the bov. i had to buy a seperate adapter and flange in order to put the turbo smart one on.... it rarely stalls ... if im revving at about 3500 and jump on the clutch ( like if i were prepering to roll at a set of trfic lights ) it might stall or just drop the revs to about 400 rpm... if you know your car you will be able tot tell when you revs are dropping too far , then you ll just have to tap the ecellerator.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
