Front Mount/blow Off Valve Question

[Jamie88]

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...

get an adapter from autobarn so you can mount the blitz bov in the standard position, probly cost you about 80 bux.. and put a screw in or replace the tee peice in the bov hose you dont need.

[redevil]

yeah why not mount it where the stock one is????

Because it doesnt fit. Need an adaptor

What have other people used to block the plumb back pipe off with....Anyone know?

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.

what he said, u wont need to replace the pipe that the BOV is connected to

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.

Thats exactly what I was expecting! Which was what I was trying to say all along. Thanks man.

[mad082]

but in that picture you will see that the pipe with the bov on it hasn't been replaced. it is still the factory pipe.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

mad082 have a read he was talking about his blitz ss blow off valve ceramic coated pipe because he liked it and he was hoping the kit didnt replace it.

[mad082]

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.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

easier said than done eiy, im in the same boat atm.

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

[mad082]

my bad.

but yes you can get the adapters for that bov. my mate bought one for his r33 a few weeks back.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

from where mad?
