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.

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)

    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.    
    • Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?
