Ok finally have the Greddy FV BOV fitted, but wasn't straight forward.

First Nengun have kept me hangin for 4 weeks so purchased a local Subaru one, which is longer with the rubber o-rings.

I kept the Nissan one for a jig, clamped the new one to it with a 30mm pipe holding them symmetrical.

Drilled through to correct the mounting bolt centres then dry fitted.

Had to keep reaming to get them perfect.

The adapter plate was too big and hits the intake pipe on the inside edge, so had to grind out a bit off the edge to get it to centre.

Luckily this adapter has rubber o-ring seals on both sides otherwise too much of the flat surface was compromised.

I had to grind a chamfer all the way to the o-ring

The Nengun adapter has a cut out on one side and might fit better.

This BOV has a 40mm dia valve as opposed to the 22mm Turbosmart.

Finally got the adapter fitted, then the BOV doesn't seat as it hit the OEM mounting bolts.

The heads are too big, so had to grind off one edge plus a tad off the bov itself.

Started it up, and idles beautifully..

Finally you fitted it.

Just curious why your greddy bov doesn't come with adapter? I know greddy do bolt on bov for M35 and the adapter should be come with bov together in one package.

Hey quespionage- that blue vacuum hose. It's not the spongey redline performance stuff that you can pinch and cut off airflow to is it? I'm assuming it's at least 3mm id from the pipe... just asking

na, it say Samco on it.

4mm id , feels ok.

I replaced the split stock line to the boost-t with the 1 mm restrictor in it.

yep you can, but its around $400 and only available overseas.

I picked up the bov for $150 delivered + $32 for adapter

Mmm, got boost leak so will need to use gasket sealant.

Still haven't tested it out properly as the weather is so bad .

Got more pigeon sound though than the Turbosmart with the soft spring

Why have you invested so much time in a poorly fitting, and obviously poorly built knockoff BOV?

BOV looks genuine.

Didn't know it was going to be a bitch to fit with bolts clashing and clearances.

I don't see it a waste of time as I enjoy tinkering.

Especially if it works better than the Turbosmart.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
