My r32 came with an atmo bov so I don't have any of the stock plumb-back piping etc. I want to replace it with an aftermarket plumb-back item.

I'll probably buy a Blitz Super SOund one from just jap (return type, ie plumb-back) made for my car (unless anyone knows any other good kits for RB20DET).

What else will I need that is unlikely to come with the kit?

Do I just need to make a hose to dump the bov air back to the inlet pipe (where plug has been placed).

Should I use silicone radiator hose type stuff?

Does anyone have a pic of how the stock setup runs?

Cheers :laugh:

Hey mate,

This is the stuff I used when I returned my blow off valve back to standard from a crappy HKS knock off that came with the car....

It's 32mm inner diameter, 40mm outer diameter (fits perfectly over the factory blow off valve). Not sure what the actual plastic is but its really tough, withstands heat pretty well and has a steel spiral moulded through it for strength. It's kinda flexible, but to get from the factory blow off valve location to the factory plumb back location you don't need much flex anyway. You can see in my pics below just how little flex you need to get to the return inlet.

I can't remember how much it cost, but I ordered it in from revolution racegear (steve's speed shop here in Shellharbour).

Here is a couple of pics of my setup with the piping above and a factory blow off valve....

Where it actually plumbs in is kinda hard to take pics of, but if you have the standard intake pipe hooked up, its just the big outlet there. The little one will be for the crank case gasses. You will most likely need a small length of metal pipe to connect the return hose to the intake pipe...half inside the return pipe, the other half inside the inlet on the intake pipe... (i used a small length that came with a blow off valve i bought ages ago)... but it's all pretty straight forward.

Hope that helps mate.

I have a Greddy Tyre R BOV and here is an example of another way of routing your bov back to intake. It doesnt have to be from the factory location, and all you need to do is get the air back to the intake pipe.

haha I used that stuff on my old Black 32 Gts-t... Was a fail whenever the car got hot the hose couldn't stand the temps and would melt :)

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
