hello all

yea ...just bought one of those turbo tech manual boost controllers ...and went to install it and realised that the cefiro doesnt have a stock bov .........is it safe to increase boost without a bov?

does anyone know the reason why they didnt come with them while the r32's did?...was is becasue it was family car .....?

thanks

I can't speak for nissan themselves as far as WHY they did not fit one........

BUT, i personally feel you will be fine to run up to 0.9bar without a BOV (preferably FMIC attached for the sake of your engine)

OR you could buy the Blitz BOV i have here that came off an RB20det R32 and still has the pipe (i assume it will suit the cefiro RB20det too)

Installation consists of two hose clamps, remove pipe, replace pipe then tighten clamps.......away you go PPPSSSSSCCHHT

Cheers

I found if you have a front strut brace you can not used the R32 'J' pipe BOV pipe as it fouls with the strut brace

yea i have a front strut brace and was thinking the same thing ......

hey man i didnt have one so we fabriscated our own pieces so i could have a plumb back

yea ...i want to go plumback to .....u got a pic of ur setup?

and yea front mount will be coming soon ........it will have to wait a little bit though ...cause i just spent a heap of money on wheels

I have the same problem. Just bought a strut brace and it doesn't fit b/c of the bov. :mellow:

One way around it could be to get an aftermarket bov that sits on an adaptor plate, which would sit it sideways instead of up. But i don't really want to waste money on a bov that will only make my car run worse and annoy me after a few months.

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
