hey i want to remove my stock bov and was wondering which pipes i should block, could i remove them all together.

in the picture could i remove that section of metal pipe and do i block off the left over pipes? the metal pipe comes out of the afm rubber intake pipe, would i just block the hole in the rubber pipe? really i want an answer of what i can and cant block.

alright what about the right angle pipe that joins onto my rocker cover feed where my catch can is hooked onto. could i block if off or rig it up to go back to my catch can as well

anyone someone must be running with out one?

ok look at the pic and see if it makes sense

1. take the bov off block it up

2 block off the hose at both ends

3 you can either block them off or use what the r33 use which is a hose that joins 3 to 4 to 3 again

4 is the hose that runs form each cam cover also block off the other number 4

5 block that off as well

in all honesty i would not block off the cam cover ones and the one into the plenum

some fella didnt design it just cause he thought it would look good it serves it purpose and look neat

i think he wants the dose??

hey mate thanks heaps i want to remove some pipeing and want to fit a strut brace soon but it will be in he way i am going to run with out one as i cant be bothered fitting one into my piping atm

don't block anything to do with the oil breather. if you do you will end up with oil sprayed all over you engine bay.

if you want to block of the bov and not run one just make up a plate to go in between the standard bov and where it bolts to. that way you don't get any vac leaks. or if you want to take it out, block off with a plate where it bolts to, block the 25mm vac hose that comes out of the bov and block the vacuum line that actuates the bov. there is no need to remove the black steel pipe.

guys, get a life.

its his car, he'll do whatever the f**k he wants to it.

if you want to block the bov off, take your BOV off and trace the shape of its flange and bolt holes onto a rolled out coke can. cut it out and shove it between the flange and the crossover pipe (where it sits) and tighten.

strut brace wont hit your bov. you should have plenty of room to fit one without removing anything.

i kinda want that black steel pipe out of the way so i have more room and that. Is it possible or no one ever removes it? i have heard all the storys and that about not running one mate brother hasnt run one for 2 years or so no dramas

i have an s13 with an rb20 in it every pic i seen with a strut brace has the bov blocked off becuase it is in line with the strut towers not unless u have an 13 with an rb20 running a stock bov and u have a strut braces ?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
