ive just blocked off my stock bov, NOT for the hektik flutterz yo but so i can use the gasket to trace out an adapter plate to mount a bov on my intercooler piping when i put that in.

so im gna be driving the car round like this for a few days, is it normal to get a rough idle with the bov blocked? and is it normal for my car to sound like a rex and feel really rough until about 2.5-3k rpm?

cheers!

You blocked off the return pipe from the BOV back to the intake right?

And as if it's not for hektik flutterz. You could just remove the gasket, trace it, and put it back on. But you have chosen to drive it around for a 'few days' like this. I'm calling you out as a ricer!

do u mean that smallish hose from the top of the bov to the side of the plenum? coz no i havnt touched that, all ive done is put a solid gasket between the bov and mount.

Thats part of your problem your problem, but he is talking about the Bov re-circ hose that goes down to the intake pipe.

i blocked off that top hose didnt really do much, the other hose was in a too tight position to block off. its onli gna be like this for a day so shud be alright

No, it'll foul the spark plugs.

There are two hoses. One large one (approx 1 inch diameter) that goes back in front of the turbo, and the vacuum hose that went to the top of the valve. You need to block both

thanks for the heads up :) i just ended up tracing the original gasket onto some cardboard on putting it back in, less hassles

also noticed a coilpack plug was disconected but it may have happened after wen i was fiddling round with the bov. the car did sound tuff hahaah but definatly didnt sound normal

, thanks guys

i am running a blocked off stock BOV and never had a problem at all.....al the hoses are still connected and in place as they were before.....all i did was put a metal plate in between the BOV and the mount.....flutters nicely and no problems.....mind you dont get any flutter when it hits 12psi only on low boost it will flutter

um.... why would you want to move the bov? the stock bov is in the ideal location. nice and close to the throttle body.

Yer i would of thought that. Using the stock posstion is good. You will need the plum back pipe from the bov to the intake in front of the turbo other wise yes it will run like a dog.

Ive tried this trick once before on my old RB20 and it didnt like it at all. Hooked the bov back up with plum back pipe, all good again.

I would stay with the origanal bov or do a search on ebay for a aftermarket one with plumback support.

Sigh@flutters, its the most annoying noise on the planet, specialy wene u see a nice skyline or any car realy and the accelorate near u and make that gay noise - fail

no actually it's more embarresing when my bov goes and everyone turns around and looks at u and says rice.

You would have solved your problem when you reconnected the coil pack as you car would have been running on 5 cylinders and misfiring.

The WRX sound of a skyline usually points to coilpacks or plugs as it is a misfiring sound.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By tylink720 · Posted

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
