So you got one of these yes?

And you want to know if it sounds like one of these yes?

The answer is NO.

The one you “bought” goes psshhh

The one you “want” goes squeek.

To block the plumback line, you can usually fit a coke bottle cap over it and use the clamp that is already there to clamp it on.

Or go to bunnings and get a pack of rubber boots that go on the feet of kitchen chairs.

Also, I think a D size battery fits in to the rubber hose on that return pipe, which you would then clamp in with the clamp already there.

Anyway, all that said and done, you be back to using the stocker soon enough so this would have all been a waste of time and money.

Cheers

Best bet to plug the hole is take the pipe to Repco or similar and get a welch plug to fit snug, and clamp it in.

IMO, don't do anything dodgy when talking about you engine dude... for example, if the think you plug it with is plastic or whatever and gets heated, sucked in to the inlet and then into your turbo... well... you get the idea.

Just a side note::

Also adding a VTA BOV to a MAF system... well, look for some new spark plugs as well, to replace the fouled ones... or perhaps a tune?

Cheers.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
