Hi there.

Well im almost ready to do my long awaited turbo conversion for my RB20DE. Iv got all the parts i need except for BOV, wastegate actuator valve&the water/oil lines to feed the turbo which seem to be hard to find

I have been looking for a standard rb20det BOV because i want to make this whole conversion as easy as possible and i want to keep the plumb back system.

Iv found on Ebay a Greddy Style BOV that looks as if it should go on fairly easily and can be used as either atmospheric or plumb back. Its $59.99 which i know is quite cheap. I need peoples advice on whether or not its worth getting it, remember ill only be running 6psi through my turbo setup so it doesn't have to take allot of pressure so im thinking it should do the job.

Blow Off Valve can be seen here

Unless anyone has a standard BOV they want to sell???

While im at it, can anyone tell me what they think i should do about the oil and water lines? Would you suggest waiting untill i can find all the stock lines or getting some flexible piping that will be suitable for the job, im sure theres something out there that i could use that will be relatively cheap.

It been VERY hard trying to identify the lines i need, the import wrecker i frequent has a pile of SR20DET lines but nothing that will help me, and he rekons its going to be a hard thing for me to find as well.

Cheers!

Ok thanks Shanef, Sent you a PM.

Cheers Mad, i like the way you put that, real easy to understand. lol.

From all the pics iv seen it looks like the 33bov will bolt strate on2 the 32 crossover pipe, does anyone one for sure if this is the case??

thanks again..

I don't think the rb20de has provision for the stock det water and oil lines.

You are almost certainly going to need some custom lines made up for the oil feed and water, and the block will need to be drilled and tapped for the oil return.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
