isn’t 1psi what’s above my head right now? you shouldn’t have to blow through it at all i thought air was 1 psi

Above your head? all air is 1psi? hehehehe Friday night drinky poo's?

jah prolly mean 1bar, the rough sea level atmospheric pressure yes

sorry to bring up an old thread. but ive just disconnected my pcv valve hose and put bungs on either end (inlet manifold) (side of rocker cover) and running 2 lines from breathers to catch can...blocking the pcv cannot do any harm can it? also know since ive blocked the pcv ive noticed alot more blow by comin out the filter in the catch can now... hrmmm...with the pcv hooked up could that somehow drop oil into the exhaust side of the car and blow clouds of oil smoke now and then?

i know this is very old, but saves starting a new thread.

as l0WRB stated,

after fitting rb26 rocker covers i have eliminated the pvc valve on my rb25.

this caused MASSIVE blowby, my catch tank filter had oil smoke pouring out of it..

how do i set up a pcv on rb26 covers on a rb25?

Don't want to start a new thread so im asking here,

Ive had some rough idle and rough running at very light throttle and trying to hunt the issues down, so I notice my PCV valve hose is cracked, the hoses on the rockers I haven't connected to anything and I noticed theres a fairly strong suction happening there,

is it normal to have a strong vacumn coming from the rocker cover hoses?

would having this hose not recirculating be creating a vacumn leak? eg same as an atmo BOV?

Im wondering if the pcv valve might be open creating the vacumn and therefore creating a vacumn leak,

thoughts?

you are correct, the PCV connects to the plenum, similar to any other vacuum hose but the only difference that seals off on boost to prevent boost leaks.

If you have broken hoses on the PCV connections and leaks on your cam/rocker covers it will affect your idle. To get around this just replace the hoses or completely block off the PCV and run a full atmospheric catch can setup.

thanks mate, i think ill seal this PCV valve off to be sure and see what happens, i think this maybe the cause of the car wanting to stall when i quickly come to a stop after a squirt but will have to see .

sounds about right, also are you running a PowerFC?

yep and these issues only popped up when i first did the GT30 upgrade and the rocker covers wernt plumbed back into the intake pipe, so makes sense now :wacko:

if you're having stalling issues after a squirt, there's a menu on the hand controller that allows you to adjust the decel fuel cut off (same page as idle), if you set it a little higher, like around 3k ~4k rpm the motor doesn't hesitate or stall after a good squirt

if anyone's interested:

[Rev. Limit ] レブリミット rpm
[ the F/C A/C オ フ ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns off return rpm of fuel cut
[ the F/C A/C オ ン ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns on return rpm of fuel cut
[ the IDLE A/C オ フ ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns off
[ the IDLE A/C オ ン ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns on

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
