Front Mount/blow Off Valve Question

Hey all, getting a front mount kit for my r33 and after some advice/knowledge. The pipe my bov is currently on shown in picture is going to be replaced. The other pic shows the kit I am getting, or similar so where is the best place to now put my bov? Would it be better to leave the standard one connected (metal plate blocks the bottom where it joins the intake to stop it functioning) and just get a new adaptor welded to the new pipe if so should I completely disconnect the stock bov or is the plate sufficient enough. Or should just get an adaptor to suit standard position. My main concern is what do I do with the vaccum lines left over if I move the bov and disconnect stock one. I will have the plumback pipe sitting there for the stock bov and the line that connects the the blitz one left doing nothing. I dont know where they should be going if I move the bov, as it was already the way it is when I got the car. If you can get ya head around what I just said help me out please. I tried to describe it as best as I can. Thanks

If you can help me out add me to msn. [email protected]

yeh where it is now is prob the best place and the only pipe that should be left free if u have a atmos BOV is the plumb back pipe and that just simply has to be covered up... use a grommet or sumthing...

Yeah but what im saying is when I get my front mount, the pipe its on now will be replaced should I get it put back on that new pipe. Or put it in the standard position where the standard bov still remains? If I put it on the new cooler pipe should I leave the standard blow off valve the way it is? It has a metal plate between it and the inlet pipe.

unless there is more piping for your fmic kit that what is show, you won't be replacing the pipe where the bov is. the pipe from the turbo to the stock intercooler will still be used, as will the pipe with the bov on it. the 3 bits of pipe shown go from where the stock intercooler sits to the fmic, and then the other 2 go from the fmic to the side fire wall and the next from the side firewall to the pipe with the bov on it.

as for the bov, just get an adapter. the best plave to have a bov fitted is as close to the throttle body as possible. it keeps the air flowing in the one direction.

The pipe in the top of the front mount kit shown is the pipe that replaces the one my bov is on, and joins to the pipe off the throttle body. Correct me if Im wrong but pretty sure thats right. All the kits, ive seen, cheap ones included join there, run across the fan shroud area and down the side that currently has no pipes (right hand side of car). Which then joins onto one on the right hand side of cooler and the left hand side pipe joins to standard pipe which then runs to turbo??? Can anyone confirm this.?

i'm assuming that you are talking about the pipe with the bracket on it? that bracket bolts to the drivers side of the motor near the injector rail. it runs from under the radiator hose on the drivers side to the start of the pipe with the bov on it. the pipe on the left of the cooler in the pic you posted runds from the drivers side of the cooler, through the holoe you have to cut in the side firewall, to the start of the pipe i just mentioned. the pipe on the right of the cooler runs from the where the stock cooler sits (so it joins the stock pipe that comes from the turbo) to the passenger side of the fmic.

i think he is a bit confused as to what goes where.

either way, just get an adapter and mount the blitz bov on the stock bov's location.

I think you are confused.. he is talking about the COLD pipe coming from the stock cooler, it has his Blitz BOV attached to it. THIS pipe will be replaced by the piping in the kit, he is asking if he should try put his Blitz BOV in the same spot that it currently is or put it on the crossover pipe where the stock BOV sits.

I've seen adaptors for RB20/25's are my local Malz (our version of Autobarn), bolts in the stock location and has a 90deg bend in it. My R2D2 was actually mounted inside the front right guard.. well out of the way of prying police eyes :action-smiley-069:

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
