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

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.

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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
