I just took off my stock rb25det bov last night to replace it with GFB Mach 1

its gone on no problems, but the recirculating pipe back to turbo, or the rubber tube that covers the old b.o.v so that it goes to airbox is now left open...

i called gfb to get the rubber BUNG to plug it up, but i started car last night, & yea it was idleing fine, but when revved, it started to sound as though it was chugging along,

the bung is being delivered to me today my gfb, but can i still drive to the ervo in it for milk & bread & shit, or THE PLUG MUST BE IN PIPE? :Oops: ??? NOT SURE?

If you have a vacuum leak after the Air Flow Meter.

The car will run like shit if at all.

Seal up any holes left from the old re-cirulation type BOV if you are not using it anymore.

Also make sure the spring tension on the BOV is set correctly or it will leak there as well.

cheers mate

yea, the bov seems to work fine, not holding boost as good as the stock b.o.v

i thinkk ill have to fiddle with the spring tension somemore..

when i gear change in boost, theres an actual car shudder which was not normal?

it comes on boost harder than b4 though, so i think a bit more fiddling round, i hope thats it...but all i did was take off old b.o.v & bolt new one?

cars are fiddly sh*ts

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
