If your able to make it your self it will cost 1/4 of that cost. :)

~$40-50 for welding the 2 bungs in for the bov and breather then a little for the pipe (~$20) + 2 bits of silicon.

If the pipe is in 4" stainless then for a 90degree bend its around $40.

when i did mine i didn't have the catch can and i had the bov hooked up, would've been so much easier for me to make if i'd had the catch can on and the bov d/c like i do now. haha, heinsight's a wonderful thing!

Hey Ash,

Once all tuned up does yours fart and carry on with the bov blocked off?

At the moment untuned mine randomly when coming off the throttle to change gears pops and farts; drivability is fine; very little afm reversion and no stalls. I'm thinking off hooking mine up just to get rid of the popping and farting incase a mr police man is sitting behind at the time. :S

Cubes, I got my turbo 2 afm pipe on with my stocker blocked for the moment with no atmo BOV and it has a catch can installed.

I get backfiring, etc, but its a combination of my 02 sensor dead (reads like 0.02v at idle and randomly goes to 0.30 and then back to 0v while driving) and I have all those mods on stock ecu.

Kind of off topic but while on the topic of catch cans. :thumbsup:

I'm running twin catch cans temporarily to see how much it breathes. If its all good I'll be plumbing it back in. :) lol Reason for twin catch cans is its not as obvious.

So far its all super clean; not a single drop or smear of oil in the can or in the pipe its self. The single 1.5mm restrictor is definitely working well. :(

Pics...

Drivers side u can see how I've T'd in to the cam cover to PCV valve. Its just for looks; the PCV is blocked off.

Passenger side u can only just see the coke bottle with the hose going in to it. Both coke bottles have a modified top so they can breathe and filled with s/steel scourer. Hopefully I can't plumb it all back up as I really don't like catch cans due to being a big hit on the defect list.

If your O2 sensor is reading lean constantly unplug it.

Its telling the ecu the mixture is lean so the ecu dumps in more fuel. Your better off with it disconnected. From memory with it disconnected cruise afr's are around the 13:1 mark which isn't so bad.

Apart from the usual sponge and spray over at car lovers/BP no. :)

It looks clean as I just put it back together; I had the head off to be sorted as well as head oil restrictors and new turbo bolted on.

Give it a month and it will look normal again. :thumbsup:

Speaking of O2 sensors, I filled up last week and got a solid 350km out of her, I think mine could be on its way out....lol I could've sworn i replaced it about 2 years ago. How often have people been changing thier 02 sensors??

nah mine's fine apart from stalling after a while of driving and it defintiely runs richer but once tuned she'll be all sweet, i'd probably run the bov in your instance, u dont need any more response, hehe!

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
