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 ?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
