Replace Standard Gtr Bovs With One Aftermarket Item

[usmair]

Ok so I'm about to replace the standard BOVs with an aftermarket blitz item on the weekend.

Just wanted to know if i need to get anything else before I take the front bar off and have a crack. Swapping them over is pretty straight forward but I wanted to know whether anything special is required to replace 2 BOVs with 1.

BTW I know the factory GTR BOVs are good enough as they are. This is my car and is a personal choice that I'm making so if you dont have anyting productive to add are just going to flame me for putting on an aftermarket item then dont bother.

Thanks

Pls find attached a pic of the Blitz item

The Blitz item you have seems to have the correct flange on it so its a matter of unbolting the old ones and putting the blitz ones on...and then blocking off the plumback pipes...

PS: i'm not against aftermarket BOVs at all but to me the blitz ones and the apexi ones are probably the worst sounding bovs of the lot...

i have the exact same unit on mine, u should also check that the pistons can be moved if u ease off the top adjustment nut.. mine was clogged with oil/crap and jammed so im currently cleaning the whole unit

u can block off the return pipe with whateva, but i have found turbosmart does making blanking caps in the correct diameter, probably best way to go, $16 odd bucks

ps. what u doing with ur stock as i might be interested in returning mine back to stock

/ignore, since u mention its being done for the 1st time, hope idling isnt an issue

true... if it is i'll put the stockies back on and leave it for Yavuz to sort out next time around

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

yavuz tuned mine as well, didnt have any issues with idling before the tune however have read others have.. the blanking plug is around 30mm i think, will measure mine when i put the bovs back on tonight

What are you going to do about where the second bov sits? just blank it off?

I guess, thats what I was asking

Seems like I will take it off and plug the pipes up

my bad, i assumed u had both bovs, i guess you can tee piece the hoses to the bov and cut a plate to bolt into the empty space or get an adapter for the single bov so it plugs straight into the rubber pipe

[dori34]

easiest way is just get a plate made up and bolt it over the spare flange.

I'm also going to do this with my greddy type s but I'm going to plumb it back to fix the idling issues. Making a block off plate for the second bov and the g reddy type s has 2 vacume nipples so I can put them both on for the extra vacume
