Bov - From Hks Ssqv Back To Stock

[Owgasm]

Hey,

I've been meaning to do this for along time.

Now front bumper is off and i'm at the BOV stage.

Switching back to the standard bov's.

I noticed on the standard bov' there was the hoses/outlets that came out from it into the black pipe that ran across the front to the other side. I don't have that pipe anymore due to the FMIC.

What do i need to do to replace the hks bov's with the original ones?

hoping to get it finished today

So any help asap would be great.

Thanks

if there are existing threads, please pardon me and direct me, i am so noob at the search function that it comes back half the time without results :S

Not so easy i'm guessing?

Clueless, do i really have to run the black pipe across again or something?

How do others do it with their fmic?

[Owgasm]

Rather desperate to know what to do so i can get it back on the road please

Searching unsuccesfully everytime.

PLEASE

do u have a copy of the workshop manual as it does show the piping outlay.. sorry i dont have but one of the jdm shops has them hosted.. u selling the ssqv later?

[Owgasm]

Umm, yeah, i've got an idea of how the original piping was set up. Will i need to reconnect the original piping? I removed all original piping in that location for the FMIC.

The original BOV piping is still there as the HKS ssqv just had adapters and they just bolted on.

No way around it with using stock BOV's?

Anyone got a photo of there front bumper removed - R32/33 GTR.

Might sell the twin ssqv, but first i need to get the original back on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

here you go

[Owgasm]

Thanks for that.

So all those running stock bovs with an aftermarket fmic.

Need to run the recirculation pipe as well?

No way around this?

Hey,

If you want to run the recirculation system then you'll have to make up a

replacement for that pipe that _does_ fit with your cooler and goes back to the inlet

side of your turbo(s).

Alternatively, the stock BOVs can be vented to atmosphere if that's what you want to do.

Just leave the pipe off. The other side will need to be blocked as well if it's not already.

Some people have reported leaks at idle, but it will cost you $0 to try it and see whether

it suits you or not. You probably want to fit some type of minimally-restrictive filter

over the BOV outlet to stop crap getting in there if you decide you like it that way.

Or leave the BOVs blanked off (or remove them entirely) and put up with the extra noise.

Hey,

Thanks for that.

First option of a new recirculation system is a no can do (i'm too lazy).

The atmosphere bov thing you mention is a possibility. The other side (opposite to bov's) has been sealed/not in use.

What do you mean by "leaks at idle"?

How bad is it? What does it effect?

Other than the idle problem, are there any other problems?

What material have other people used to cover the outlets?

Thanks for the great information.

Was desperate today and put the bar back on so i can drive it tomorrow, but its easy to take off and put back on, just this time i need to know what i'm doing.

Thanks in advance

well, the laziest option is to just leave the existing HKS item(s) in place.

I haven't done this myself - when I put my oil cooler in, I removed the stock valves entirely.

Do a search for 'gtr bov leak' and you will see what I mean by 'some people'.

A atmospheric BOV opening on an AFM'ed car under boost dumps measured air, when this happens the car runs rich.

(black smoke and/or flames on a gearchange). But you have this problem already

If it happens at idle, where you only have atmospheric pressure pushing air in (no boost) you don't know which way the

air will flow (out the BOV, resulting in richness; or in the BOV, resulting in unfiltered, unmeasured air entering

the inlet tract). Either way you upset a fine balance (idle) and this can cause stalling. Aftermarket VTA BOVs like your HKS

usually have an adjustable spring that amongst other things allows you to make sure the valves are closed at idle.

What material have other people used to cover the outlets?

Once I saw a person replace an air filter panel with one of his mother's stockings, so I don't think the answer to that question will be useful

Best thing to do would probably be to get one of those K&N filters of the correct diameter (they make them down to real small sizes)

and clamp it on the end of the 'Y' air tube (says 'point 5' in the diagram) attached to the BOVs. Or get two if you don't have the Y pipe.

I would try it out unfiltered first, and see whether in your case there are extra problems caused (e.g. stalling) that you can't live with.

Then if you decide you like it, go buy filter(s) to suit...

Still running the ssqv's, really don't want to take the time to change back to stock and not re-circ and possibly get problems.

Has anyone got pics of how the re-circ pipes goes through the front.

Is there any way to run the original pipe through the front somewhere.

Are there really no other options

What other people that have FMIC do with there re-circ pipe? Do they do whats stated above by Saliya?

HELP.

I've got a funny feeling i'm loosing power every gear shift when i'm not going crazy with the car.
