Bov

[/2on]

The only place ive seen that has an aftermarket metal intake pipe (metal is meant to make the flutter echo and sound better) is on the nengun website Apexi have a full intake kit for the r33gtst and possibly 32 but im not to sure.

Only prob is its like $300 but it does include everything you need and the pod filter too

I paid half that for just the pipe w/ clamps & quality silicone hoses - best I've seen (5ply).

For a similar custom pipe alone have been quoted the $200mark in the past.

Hey Cubes, what type of metal did u use to block the bov? and what did u do to block the vac line?

im considering doing this after what ive read here

Just thin sheet metal from a sheet metal place in Lonsdale.

As for blocking the bov vac line, I didn't as it doesn't make any difference if it is or not.

[Sambo33]

ok cool! just leave the vac line as is? so all i need to do is put a plate in front of the bov. cool, im gonna do it on the weekend!

cheers!

[Cubes]

yer just cut out a place the same shape as the gasket, bit of silicon and slap it together.

While on the bov question. My car I just bought has 2 bov's in place as seen below:

I want to remove the aftermarket one, so I bought a new stock cooler return pipe (black pipe). I was going to replace it today, but then noticed that the vaccum line has be re-routed to the aftermarket bov, and the stock bov has the pipe where the vaccum attached removed/blocked with a screw!!

SO, can I replace the cooler pipe to remove the aftermarket BOV and just block the hose from the manifold?

How does it affect the operation of the factory BOV if it doesn't have a vaccum/boost reference?

If you dont block this hose, does this not cause a boost/manifold leak?

Cheers for the help

You would want to use the stock bov if you dont have an aftermarket ecu of some sort because the stock ecu has been programmed to run with a plumb back bov so not having one will make your car run richer at certain times (ie gear changes) just run the vac source back to the stockie bov

and yes if you didnt block the boost/vac source it would cause a leek

Sambo33, it sounds so much better with the plate there . I'm going to get the intake pipe this week hopefully, otherwise might just pm shy180, how much did people on here pay for just that pipe usually?

I pm'd shy about the intake pipes about a month and a half ago and he said there out of stock and aren't getting anymore in there is one guy in the for sale section selling one for $200 tho

yeah i blocked it off this morning, lots of chatter now! haha. i took it for a quick drive and everything works fine, no stalling ect. i couldnt really open up the throttle too much (being in the city and all) but i think it feels a bit more responsive than before.

i cant remember what i paid for the intake pipe, ill try and find out.

[dnbutts]

i was under the impression that plumb backs were fine because they didnt make a sound that "disturbs the peace"

[Murry33]

plumb back bov still makes the pttshhh noise eh. got rid of mine though lol

[Dodgy1_SA]

as soon as ya put a pod filter on the car, the stock blow off valve starts really makin that putlllll sound... mine's pretty load.. not stupidly tho...

[lighty01]

instead of puting the plate inbetween the bov and intercooler piping.. isnt it easier just to disconnect the vacuum hose from the bov and plug it up... that way the bov never opens??

my mate done it on his... he loves flutter...

i prefer the stock clean wooossshhh

[vinnie32GTS4]

hey just a question when u say a larger pipe from the afm to the turbo do u mean in length wise or in diameter wise???

cheers

[Sambo33]

larger diameter, and stainless steel instead of rubber. a good mod if you plan to run high amounts of boost
