OK ive been talking about this in a thread in the forced induction but it seems different states have different things that are legall etc... SO

Apart from the standered BOV can you legally change it to anything else? I was told Plumb back ones are legal that true?

Please clear this up for me, what is south australias stance on them...?

When I spoke to regency Vehicle standards they said you can't run an aftermarket bov regardless if its plumb back or not, he also said I couldn't modify the return pipe or modify the afm to turbo pipe.

BUT.. ring another day and I probably would have received a different response.

Looks like it.

For myself.. No bov, thin sheet metal plate blocking it off. All looks standard. 4" afm to turbo pipe.

Large afm to turbo pipe reduces the ever so slight drivability/stall issues you get with no bov.

You get better next gear boost response when not running a bov. :P

lol yes the bov manufactures tell you it hurts the turbo. lol

With the stock afm to turbo pipe the dose sound is fairly quietish but with a metal afm to turbo pipe it is quite a bit louder. :P

Have a read of.... Simon from Nispro.

whats all this bulls**t about no bov ruining your turbo lol??

that flutter noise is just air getting chopped up by the blades yeah?

cubes gives good advise, however it does cause stall/drivablity issues, so larger afm is a great idea. which i need to do soon myself!

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
