g'day folks

i am in the process of doing a number of performance mods to my rb25 det neo... i have spoken to my preferred engine tuner (uni group engineering giraween) and searched on here for what a good bov is to suit my car... the blokes at uni group told me that in order for the afm to function correctly, a plumb back blow off valve is required (no problem here i prefer not to hear the ptschhh)... upon searching on here for a decent blow off valve, i have come to the conclusion that the general consensus is that the gtr blow off valves are awesome and upgrading to an aftermarket one is considered a downgrade... also after searching i have found that gtr bov's are rare as hens teeth and when they come up for sale they are gone within days...

i have my standard blow off valve off my motor (r34 RB25 neo turbo) lying around... just wondering how much boost they can handle before they start having problems???

i guess the r34 blow off valve will suffice until i get a gtr one???

thanks in advance

The most cost effective BOV is the Bosch one used by Porcshe, Audi, Saab and now Ford in the F6...$70-$90 new...They won't win you any prizes at Autosalon (who gives a shit) but if you are after an effective 'compressor bypass valve' good for 15-20 psi that doesn't cost hundreds they are awesome...

Btw Zoom did a review on a few BOVs years ago and these came up trumps....

Why would you spend $70-$90 on a single item when you can get a GTR one for around 50-60?

They do the same job, hold over 370rwkw/24psi in single form (i've proven this on my own car)

And they leak @ idle like the stock item so you dont have AFM issues.

The choice is simple for Skyline owners - GTR BOV.

The Bosch ones are also 'held open' at idle so there is no idle issues...They also have hose tails on the inlet and outlet so there is no rooting around with welding flanges etc...

Sure I can spend time and chasing a GTR bov...I believe the quote in the previous post was 'rare as hens teeth though'..If I find one (which I will eventually) it 'may' be rooted...so the process starts again...I have never bothered chasing one up so I could be wrong...This just comes from 20yrs exp playing with cars...

OR I can pick up the phone and call my local Saab dealer and buy something brand new off the shelf that 'will work and work well' for a decent period...3 years my current BOV has been in service...No problems at all...

Now I am not saying that the GTR bovs are not the way to go...What I AM saying is that the Bosch ones are a decent option and will alway be easy to get...Its what I use and I have had great success...

Just trying to give the guy options thats all...

And a GTR BOV is change over with the stock... point?

As for 'rare' - Ive had some for sale for 2 months or so, on and off. Sold 4 sets so far and they dont get taken the day i post, takes a few weeks.

And over the past 3 weeks ive seen 4 other sets go up also.

They are not rare by any means of the word. If someone thinks that, they aren't even looking

Ok so what you are saying is that the GTR bov is a 'bolt on' to the stock GTSt intake pipe work?? In that case it is a good option 'if' you are running the stock pipe work...

When I was running the stock intake pipe work I gutted the stock GTSt bov and used it as an adpator only. I then plumbed the Bosch bov in place of the rubber hose bend that joins to the black metal pipe that goes to the turbo intake pipe...This made a noticable difference because the Bosch BOV sealing mechanism is rubber on a hard plastic seat

as opposed to the stock aluminium to aluminiuim (complete with the Nissan 1mm breather hole designed to make the GTSt drive a bit more smoothly so it appealed to the over 45yos as well ) ..I am assuming the GTR BOV is rubber on aluminium seat for it to seal better than the GTSt one...?

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
