Fair enough.

I just thought that you may have tested with a compressor and pressure on both sides of the bov and seen the leak yourself instead of just taking the word of a very experienced nissan mechanic who I doubt had any part in the creation/manufacture of the Mitsubishi bov.

In the end, your bov works, is plumb back and doesn't cost much.

perhaps you could do up a DIY How To thread on what you did to use your stock bov flange to mount the BOSCH unit. and what the BOSCH unit part number is (as you said there are 2 versions), how much you paid for it and where others can purchase it from.

Mate I also used my common sense to determine that the BOV leaked. I am a mechanical engineer and know a fair bit about material science, use of alloys and methods of production, manufacturing tolerancesetc etc etc and know that the Mitsubishi manufactured BOV wont seal 100%. Two mating surfaces of equal hardness that are not lapped with relatively buggerall force pushing them together them will not seal all that well. There is not even a tapered seat (such as valves in cyl head) to help out. In fact the degree of seal will be quite variable within any given batch. Some ok, some bad.

And of course the mechanic didn't have any part in the creation of the Mitsu BOV NOR did he have any part in the creation of the RB25DET or any other engine for that matter...but he still knows a bit about them....

As far as DIY my stock induction pipework is long gone (all custom fab) but I will post some pics of how I am using the Bosch BOV currently. I will also get the Bosch part number for everyone although I am sure I am not the only member using one...

I know the topic has run its course, but......

Save yourself some money and some headaches. Just go and find a GC standard GTR BOV and retain the original plumback setup.

Great flowing BOV's, fit straight on, it looks like a standard one and the cops will leave you alone for it.

Run out of arguments about BOV's?

not really.

we both agree that plumback is the way.

he feels that the stock one is no good and leaks.

I disagree.

I'm not a mechanical engineer with degree in material science so don't see the need to argue this point.

I made my point from past experience and from others results.

if that's not good enough then so be it.

I do however, have a problem with Dunlop Volleys.

No ankle support.

could cause you to stall during running.

you should go barefoot immediately.

As far as proof that the stock BOV do work..of course they do!! I believe you. What I also believe is that with the example you give (314rwkW with stock BOV) a BOV that doesn't leak may indeed turn this into 320rwkW...

Mmmm back to it eh...Well the above quote is the point to my argument...No one would accept a 1-2mm dia hole in their induction pipework would they?

Well if you use a stock GTSt BOV this is exactly what you have...its the breather hole in the misubishi BOV...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
