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...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
