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 ?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
