BOV Valve Replacement Hoses - I MacGyver'd It

Hi All,

I've been checking various vacuum hoses for wear and tear/leakage, going hard or cracking etc as my fuel consumption has been sh...

Thought I'd share what i did :)

For the large hose on the BOV, used radiator hose from a rav4, which matched the diameter/v.close to the original.

Went down to autobarn, the guy recognised the original and said that's of an RB engine b4 i even said what it was off...he's a nissan driver too. :)

For the small hose going back to intake manifold, just used some 1/4 inch fuel hose, got it from clark rubber, as autobarn didnt have any left of the

reel in same size/pay per metre.

Also did the 76mm on the intake near the throttle body as it was hard as a brick, not sealing, could see soot at each end of the hose on the metal part of intake.

Result thus far is better fuel consumption, smoother idle and dont have to press accelerator pedal has hard to go anywhere.

Cheers,

Poida
