have you got pictures of it installed?

you replaced the std one with the aftermarket one and hooked up the air line from the plenum to the BOV?

was it a plumb back type or atmo? if atmo make sure you block the std BOV's return pipe

its a atmo.. i bolted on the adapter... then clamped on the bov to the adapter.. then i clamped on the thin pipe from the engine to the bov.. the other pipe i just block off with some tape as i was just checking to see if it worked and i didnt have anythin else to use.. should i remove that whole pipe and block it off where it starts? and if so should i use a grommet or what? is this all i have to do or am i doing something wrong?

i wil try and get a pic of what i did but i need to get a hold of a digi camera first as mine got lost.

doesnt matter where the pipe is blocked off, as long as it is air tight....

try lossening any adjustment on the BOV , do you know that it worked before you got it, it might be faulty

i bought it brand new... so it should work.. i wil try it again tomorow... whats a good thing to use to block of the hole? grommets? and does it matter if your car is auto or manual?

doesnt matter which transmission you use

block teh hole, well that depends on where you do it, if you block it at the end of the steel pipe, then pop down to clark rubber and use a rubber chair leg stopper that fits, then just hose clamp it on.

yeah looks correct, there looks to be a gasket under that adapter.. it has a hole in the middle right? just to state the obvious :laugh:

if that has a twist top for adjustment, loosen it off as it might be too tight for the boost your running.

have you tried taking the bov off and pushing the plunger up to make sure it works?

also, not too familiar with rb20s but is the vacuum hose you have it connected to actually a vacuum hose? is it connected to the intake manifold?

gasket has a hole.. and im prity sure its all connected right.. i have tried it with the pipe blocked of.. but all i used was some tape as i has nothing else at the time.. the blue hose is just a silicon hose that i got from a kit.. i can twist the end of my BOV to hard or soft.. should it be on hard or soft for a r32 standard boost?

      Rb26/30 build

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      Rb26/30 build

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      Rb26/30 build

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
