Hi guys, a few things i'm unsure about...

1. Should there be something attached to the end of this valve?

2. Where abouts do I find the engine number, have scoured all over the engine bay but cant find it on any plates?

3. Dump pipes? I think my R33 has a 3" dump pipe that the previous owner didnt know about. What's the diameter of stock pipes? My 3" pipe comes off the back of turbo and connects to Cat Converter? Yes/No?

The intake plenum can indeed be spotted in that pic. It's the large piece of cast alloy on the left of the pic. If you look at your strut brace and go about ¼ of the way along from the left, that's it under there (the closest bit of the motor to the driver's side strut tower), with the throttle cable running above it.

The connection you have circled in your first pic is the line from your plenum to the stock BOV, but seeing as you're running a Turbosmart one, you could just as easily pull the stocker off and put a blanking plate over the holes, because it isn't doing anything.

Yes...it can be spotted in your excellent photo.

The open valve you are asking about is on the end of the Blowoff valve. The blowoff valve or BOV is mounted on the air intake pipe from the intercooler. The intake pipe is joined by the large rubber tube to the throttle body. The throttlebody is bolted to the side of the intake plenum.... the large alluminium thing underneith the strut brace.

If you lean over the engine bay from the drivers side and look directly down over the accelerator cable at the side of the plenum facing your BOV about 1 1/2 ins to the rear of the cable and low down on the side of the plenum there should be a similar valve....in your case it should be blocked off. This should be joined by vacuum tubing to the valve on your BOV.after unblocking it

The number you need is the VIN no. This should be on the Manufacturers plate on the firewall Not the compliance plate which is usually on the inner guard

Edit Ha.... Turbosmart is writ rather large isn't it !!!

sugest you get together with someone who knows Skylines and have a good look around your car to see whats what

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
