Hey Guys, as above, Can i run a blow off valve setup off the hot side of the cooler setup on a 26 rather than the cold side. Installed a 26 in my R33 Gtst, and am having problems with the bov return pipes.

Would make life easier if i could run BOV's on the hot side and get them plumbed in there too..

Whats your Say on this guys?

Cheers

I was running a vented BOV on the hot side, right infront of the turbo actually. I took it off the same day I fitted it on, mainly because I hate vented BOV's. It worked just fine. Plumbing back a BOV back onto the hot side hmmm kind of sounds weird to me but that would be very interesting...

I dont see why not. Its doing the same job regardless.

Just seems like most BOV are as close to the TB as possible.

I have seen a GTR with custom bov return. They just made a pretty stainless pipe up that went between the head and the radiator. Looked good. Cant seem to find the picture anywhere though

In short: "I installed a bov and then I took it off on the same day, because I hate bov's"

Some people have weird ways of passing time..

OP, you can run it on the hot side its fine. In theory the closer it is to the throttle the better but I've never had a problem with it on the hot side and many brand name parts come in a kit on the hot side. Whatever really..

Just had this debate. I reckon nearer the turbo rather than nearer the throttle body but where ever it is I suspect makes very little difference. Some people have it on the hot side some on the cold side some manufacturers stick it on the intercooler so what ever suits your needs or tastes will be fine.

Some guy gave it to me, it came welded onto the standard hot pipe to be a direct replacement into the R33. He said they don't sound like the other high pitch BOV's. I tried it out, didn't like it, sold it lol. Turbosmart, turbofart.

Was it the 'rattle snake' one? I like that one better than most but still not a fan of atmo's.

In my case it's stock GTR or nothing.

Its taken me a while to get what you're saying but I don't think (hope not) that the OP is planning to plumb the bov back into the hot intercooler pipe but into the turbo intake on that side of the engine!

It would work but maybe not as well as just before the throttle body, may get a bit of reversion.

When I went forward facing plenum in my 32gtst (custom setup, not GReddy so didn't go through the battery tray), I fitted a full 32GTR cooler/piping/bov/recirc setup. Really nice solution!

With the 34 I will do the same but just run 2" pipe straight across instead of the molded plastic GTR recirc pipe :thumbsup:

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
