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%.

46n2,

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)......

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
