Hey, i recall reading that certain skyline engines have issues with atmo bov's. I'm currently in the market for a bov but don't wanna shell out money for something that's gonna cause issues with my engine.

Any suggestions on what bov to get for the RB20det? Is there an option on some bov's to switch them to plumback if the atmo venting is causing problems?

Thanks

EDIT: Also, does a plumback blow off valve make an audible noise while driving? If it doesn't, then i guess i may aswell stick to the stock one for now?

The only issue (noticeable issue that is) my RB20det has with the atmo bov is that if you try to hold the revs around 4000rpm it flips out and jerks around a lot, like it gets air then doesnt, then gets air, then doesnt etc.

It is a Sard R2D2 and I have no stalling/idling issues.

P.S. It will be for sale as soon as I get the standard bov back on :(

Approximately how much will it be for sale for?

People have issues mainly dependant on driving style.

I know some people that have issues, and some that dont. But they drive differently to each other.

So take the chance if you feel the need.

Just to note: there is no performance gain by removing the stock one, just to clear that one for you

1. Keep the stock BOV.

2. Yes some aftermarket BOV have both atmo and plumb back outlets.

3. PLumb back BOV (including the stock one) make a noise when driving, especially if a pod filter is fitted too.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
