Got the cooler and pipework off a mates r34 skyline, so i figured it would be a pretty straight forward swap

but just wondering what this is in the pipe coming off the manifold. Is it something to do with the dual stage boost?

first two pics show what im talking about, 3rd pic is the pipe that will be in its place. Which has nothing on it to transfer it over..

nope, it is there for a reason, you need to connect it up or blow off to atmosphere, which may be illegal in some/all areas. Without one can cause pressure surges and damage to turbo/engine.

1000th POST !!! woohoo

nope, untrue. you can run without one, you'll just get 'flutter'

don't really want to start a debate on compressor surge though

plenty of turbo motors came from factory without a bov, for instance the ca18det

its debatable weather you need the bov or not. IMO i'm with chook, in that you need to run one. alot of people choose not to run a bov but this is usually on aftermarket turbo setups.

also with the stock bov you just cant run it to atmo, the factory bov is designed to pass on vacuum, so you will get eratic idle and constant stalling. your going to have to get an adapter plate made up to fit it to the new pipe.

to add to this, the RB20DET out of a R32 comes factory with a bov, same engine in an A31 cefiro does not :P

yep, sorry, factory one cant blow to atmos, meant to mention aftermarket BOVs for this. But i still would not want to run around without one, especially with higher than stock boost.

It has a bov on the new pipework, so thats no drama

i just want to know how to disconnect that one and do away with it all

Theres a line that runs down to behind the pod intake.. and a line off that one that goes up to what i think is maybe a solenoid or something with another line that runs down to the waste gate?

ok. i drew some arrows on the pic you gave. the larger pipe with the red arrow pointing to it, just block off, if you dont you will be creating a large vacuum leak. the smaller one with the yellow arrow, run it to the new bov.

Thanks heaps quick32

Been trying to find that out for hours :P

It's coming along alright so far, would be close to finishing it all in one day but im sick as hell with some sort of flu.

You can see on the right where the bov is now, hks ss. Not bad considering my mate gave the whole lot to me for $250.

Thanks jez. Pretty much got it all done, have neatly cut out the front bar to fit around it.

Just gotta get a bit of hose to run down to the bov and block off that vacuum line.

The boost sensor hose was also fitted in there too, is there an easy spot to re locate that or should i just tap a thread into the new piping and run it where it was originally?

but yeah, im done with this swine flu.. medication, beer and bed for me.

thanks guys, its been a productive day :P

Are you still using the factory boost solenoid? Some of the lines you were describing sounded like the lines to and from the boost solenoid to the actuator etc. Whereabouts are you located? I am sure another member would be happy to come around and have a look at your set-up.

Im near brisbane Kiwi.

I got it all sorted out, everything works fine except it likes stalling when i tap the throttle. Im guessing this is because ive just blocked off the pre existing plumb back pipe and not connected it to the new bov?

any way around it? Took it for a test run then up the highway through town and the girl in the landcruiser beside me found it hilarious that i stalled the auto twice trying to take off. She actually slowed down while laughing.. :P

sounds like you have a vacuum leak mate. have you checked that you hooked everything back up? there aren't any vacuum line floating around not hooked up are there? it will still run ok even if you block up the stock bov and dont run one.

how far out of bris are you?

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
