Blow Off Valve

[MrFlex]

Hi, just wanting to know about the installation of the blow off valve. Apparently it's suppose to be 6 inches from the throttle body. But on the R33 skylines, you go 6 inches from the throttle body and there's something there. Is that a blow off valve from the factory or is it something else? And to put an after market one on do I rip that one off and replace it or get it welded somewhere else?

Thanks

"you go 6 inches from the throttle body and there's something there....."

That is correct.... that's where the factory Blow-back one is. You can install it there provided you have an appropriate adaptor plate to fit. You would have to block the return hose as well... or one will lose all boost.

I've got a Blitz BOV and had to get it welded to the pipe down the front near the Pod Filter. I'd show a pic, but i dont have a Digital Camera.

It make's a good sound......

Good luck in fitting...let us know the results

Plumb back is good for lower power set ups. Atmosphereic BOV's are illegal so stick with what does the job of expelling excess charge, makes a cool noise, and doesn't get you defected.

Have fun

If ya not running HIGH boost dont worry about it too much. If its the HKS SSQ BOV they sound terrible.

Install a plumback one if you want a BOV. Cuz thats what it does, plums-back the air pressure / Boost. If its not a plumback you will loose boost and get lag.

Go stalling free... use plumback.

I reckon after threads are not used for a while (a matter of months?) they get locked automatically.

It'd stop this digging going on lately.....

I guess seeing old thread popping up is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. People should search, but if you're still needing more information and can't find it, PM. Just hope the other person is still active on the forums.
