What Is This Part?

[Crackfox]

I just picked this up as advertised an an "r33 recirc valve" however Im thinking that this isnt what it is. I sort of suspected this when I bought it but it was just a fraction of the $50 that most people charge for one on this site. Can anyone tell me what it is? or if it is possible that I could use this on my 33 gtst?

looks to me like a GTR twin blow off valve setup.

[Crackfox]

Its a genuine nissan part and it has recirculation valve written on it so it couldnt be a blow off valve though. The sticker on it says REC88-04 I4483 05U00 (the i might be a 1 an zero's o vice verca) and the silver part of the sticker says 9416A

[Crackfox]

I am pretty sure that it is a GTR type twin recirc valve and I am currently fitting one of the recirc valves to my skyline, I'm currently installing it and will see how it goes, looking like the only modification needed will be from the different pipe sizes which is an easy fix. Will see how it runs soon

[The Dan]

A recirculation valve or air bypass control valve is the same as a BOV or 'blow off valve'

so yes it is a recirc valve and it suits a gtr

If you got a set of GTR bovs for under $50 thats pretty damn good.

[Crackfox]

OK so its a GTR bov? not bad for $10 then I guess:p The guy selling it didnt know much about it, he drove an audi and when I asked which model skyline he used to own he said he had never even owned a nissan so I dunno how he obtained it.

I have taken one of the recirc valves off and installed it on my skyline. Is the only difference between the gtst and gtr recirc valves the pipe sizes on the larger end? can anyone confirm this or are is there other changes as well?

Seems to run fine with the new recirc valve, now it makes a funny "pchieww" type noise instead of pshhhhttt at gear changes, the cars responsiveness also seems ever so slightly decreased though it is a very subtle difference which is expected I guess. The cars small backfiring issue and occasionally lumpy idle also appear to be solved.

[PM-R33]

Jesus for $10 that's an absolute bargain.

The GTR bov's don't leak a bit of air out through a tiny hole like the GTST ones do from what i remember, could be wrong though.

just get a mirage 1.5 radiator hose and cut it and it will fit to gtr bov and gtst stock plumb back piping

i posted the part number sum where but cant seem to remember what part number it was

I just connected it by putting a piece of the smaller gtst bov type piping inside the larger gtr rubber piping, and then put a radiator clip thingie on it and joined it as normal. I don't think its leaking but I may test it further just to be sure.

Why is it dodgey? Its a more secure fit than the stock plumback connection, if any connection does fail on my installation work it wont be this part. Anyway I would rate my work as alot better than the very messy previous atmospheric blow off valve installation.

Is that right? and if so what's the reason? Curious.

[PM-R33]

Well the GTST ones aren't too flash for high boost and they do have a little hole in them that leaks off air a bit. People weld this up and then supposibly its fine for high boost. No idea why it is there from factory, maybe some one else can explain that. Perhaps a safety for a boost spike so it bleeds it off? I believe the GTR ones don't have this hole hence why they hold higher boost fine.

$10 Jeez, thats gotta be THE bargain of the year lol.

[Jack88]

Just chucked the part number into FAST and it comes up as a "valve-assy,int" also found it in the diagrams section under the RB26DETT here a pic.
