I was just wondering how the stock gtr bov's are plumbed. are they located on the side of the intercooler near the throttle body or the other side near the turbos. Also do they resirculate one to each turbo or how is it set up? I am wondering cause I am plumbing BOVs for my swap in an s13 and it did not come with any ic or piping. Thanks for your help guys any and all info will be usefull.

GTR has 2 bovs.

They are mounted on a single larger pipe (bit smaller than the intercooler piping) and are located in the drivers side kinda in the front air dam..

So if you are looking at a GTR front on, you will see the big space in the middle for the intercooler and the smaller space on your left (drivers side when looking front on) is where you will see the bovs.

The plumbing for it is like a Y pipe. 2 hoses join to become one and the one pipe goes all the way over to the intake pipe which is from the air box to the turbo’s.

Why it has 2 bovs?

Not sure.

I doubt it has anything to do with 2 turbo’s.

My guess is it has something to do with the fact that the rb26 has individual throttles.

It seems people who change the bovs to atmo ones on rb26’s have all sorts of problem with idle and turbo surge etc..

Thanks. are they plumbed back before or after the mafs (afms)?

"after" - by 'after', I mean 'closer to the engine'. Air that's re-circulated is not supposed to be measured twice.

Just plumb your system back somewhere between your AFMs and the turbo inlet.

If you take a look at a diagram or pull a GT-R's inlet pipework to bits you'll see where the re-circulation pipe rejoins

the system. When you get all the bits onto the bench(es) you will not _believe_ that they all go back in that little tiny space :))

This is possibly why the pipework was not included :yes:

The valves are in parallel; so I'd guess that there are two simply to allow for more airflow when they are open while

keeping the response characteristics of a single smaller valve. They _may_ be sprung differently (I've never

tested) but they look identical.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
