Drivebai,

I reckon just use the factory BOV and plug the intake pipe recirculation hose and leave it to vent to atmo.

The S-afc has a setting called 'Dec-acel' the manual contains some settings to use for the RB25DET, I don't have it to hand atm. HAve a look in the manual. If this setting is disabled the Throttle % will be 0%.

Yes its normal, the 32's with standard bovs are very loud. Ive now got one that vents to atmosphere and is quieter. Theres nothing wrong with the operation of the standard bov, its just that it vents back right before the air filter and is just as loud, if not louder, than an aftermarket one. Seems to be very sensitive to throttle too, where as aftermarket ones tend only to vent LOUDLY when you WANT it to, not all the time.

I was asked by the cops to change my BOV back to factory when it was already factory. They couldnt believe how loud it was.

I put the plumb back hoses on again and tried blocking the hole under the BOV to see what it does in real life.

I actually like the effect it has, except it certainly doesn't make the car quicker (for those who thrive on placebo effects). It does give a better response when the throttle pushes the vacume into a range just before '0'.

That's pretty much the same result I had. It sort of feels snappier (very technical term !!) around the 0 to on boost part.

But the thing I like the most is it's quieter than before :D I don't get the sound of air recirculating as much now. The HKS filter does enough of that (which I'm thinking of swapping it for the standard box sooner or later)......

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
