As the title sess.

I want to get rid of the standard bov's and the return pipe, and just put on my aftermarket vented bov.

Can I do this? :blink: Will this have the computer (standard) playing up as the air is not being put into the system.

If anyone has done this or can help me out it will be much appreciated.

Btw. Its an rb26 conversion into an s13.

If you remove the stock BOVs you have to block the end of the return pipe that is now open to atmosphere

otherwise unfiltered air will enter the system. If you run MAFs (I presume you do) then it's worse - the extra air is

unmeasured, too.

Whether you block the pipe on the driver's side near the stockers, or remove the return pipe completely and block it off on the

passenger side is up to you... I'd block it off on the driver's side since returning to the stockers will be a breeze if/when you

decide you don't like your VTA BOV :P

Regards,

Saliya

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
