have been searching for the answer but i havent been able to find it.

I just wanted to know where the skinny hose goes that comes off the pipe that goes into the intake from the BOV. It looks like some sort of vacuum hose.

Sorry for the stupid question but my car is currently stalling when approaching lights etc and this is the only hose of the BOV that isnt connected.

Thanks, Mike.

is it plumb back? if not then thats more than likely whats making it stall.

but yeah the 4mm hose on the top of the BOV goes to a small metal pipe sticking out of the plenum .. just down and to the right of the throttle body when looking from the passenger side.

Hey mate, i was actually talking about the thick pipe (1"?) that comes off the side and goes into the intake pipe just after the AFM. On this thick pipe there is a little fitting with a skinny hose (about 4mm) coming off it. This is the hose that im talking about.

BTW. its a standard BOV.

Thanks, Mike

that is a hot pipe that only has air going through it after the BOV goes off. so it doesn't matter too much if there is a leak.

i was running a GFB hybrid that vented to atmosphere and back into the pipe and never had an issue.

plug up the hole since it is not a standard fitment. never seen an r33 with a hose coming off that hose.

Hey mate, the actual problem im having is my car keeps stalling. So where exactly does this hot pipe go, i want to try and hook it up and see if it makes a difference. I currently have it blocked.

Thanks, Mike.

hey dude, im not sure if this will help but when my car comes back in about 10mins i will tk a photo of my stock bov, so u can compare it to ur own

thanks heaps mate, u reckon u could take a photo of where it meets the intake pipe aswell.

Thanks heaps, Mike

here you go :( sorry about the quality as my camera batteries just die, so i uses my camera phone, but if u still need better ones once they are all charged up i will takes some more

-if u look at the last 2photos, it is where the bov return pipe goes into the intake pipe; and there is a pipe sticking out is blocked off with a screw (i have a feeling that this may connect to the stock boost control bleed value thingo)

    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
