anyone know?

Yes the RB26 bov bolts straight on where the RB25 one goes. The oulet is bigger though so you will have to adapt the hose somehow. The RB26 bov flows more and is much more robustly constructed as you will see if you get one.

Unless the factory BOV has failed I can't see why you would bother. So many other ways to spend money that actually improves performance.

I'm not buying one to improve power I know it will do nothing, just heard they sound better and were a good upgrade.

Yup just got a gtr one, will be fitting it soon since my tuner said he blocked the stock one due to leaking during tuning. His words, not mine.

It doesn't run nicely with no bov with my setup, revs hunt around and wastes fuel revving back up as the engine gasps for air.

When I had stock turbo no bov didn't affect anything, but with bigger turbo & fuel system it runs like ass with no bov, so I'll have the gtr one on soon once I can get the intake fitting for the larger hose welded on.

As for size difference, I think theres a pic of them side by side on an older thread on this forum.

      R34 power steering

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
