Stock Bov Plumb Back Into Intake

Hey

I have changed the setup on my R32 RB20DET and am no longer able to use the stock intake pipe and plumb back system

Long story short I am using a 3" metal intake pipe with has provision for the rocker cover breather (hooked up with no issues) and to plumb back a blow off valve

I am using the stock cross pipe with the stock RB20 BOV and want to plumb it back into the intake pipe but my problem is I am having problem finding a hose (flexible to run from the BOV outlet to the intake pipe

I am no longer using that huge plumb back metal pipe junk, as it doesn't fit with the new setup

I have been to Autobarn, REPCO and Clark Rubber but can't find a hose in the right diameter - just wondering what everyone else has done and how I can get around this

I had one other idea which was to use an adapter to reduce the outlet size on the BOV - so use that stock hose with a fitting that reduces the outlet size so I can use a smaller hose to the intake pipe

But will this be restrictive or cause any issues?

Any help would be appreciated

:P

Can you make something out of metal (what ever material you used for your intake pipe) that sits in between the stock bov return hose (just the rubber hose that used to join your bov to the metal return line) and the small rubber joiner you wil luse at the intake return point?

example in words..

Bov outlet===rubber joiner===new metal return line bent to the shape you need===rubber joiner===intake pipe bov return hole.

essentially, fabricate a new metal return pipe to replace the factory metal bendy return pipe.

I have also seen people use this sort of shit..

Obviously they come in all sorts of ID sizes.

Have a look in Clarks rubber.

they might have something for you.

the above stuff does not kink.

I've also seen it used for connections of catch cans.

Perhaps Bunnings or other plumbing stores might be able to help too

I thought about making something out of metal but would prefer just to use normal hose as its easier and looks more stock

I managed to find some hose but it was slightly smaller and just managed to squeeze into the stock hose on the BOV outlet - would something like that be ok?

Would diameter make a difference and is there a lot of pressure in that plumb back hose?

I saw that flexi shit at Clark Rubber but the diameter just falls short of what is needed and I don't know how good that would be - I reckon it would melt pretty quick or go all hard and brittle.

It's similar to loom tube which eventually breaks and cracks away

Bunnings was useless - I had a look around and couldn't find anything so I showed one of the guys there the size of hose I needed and he goes, 'go to autoban'

Thanks for the ideas

unless you start to hear flutter, then it's fine.

If you start to get flutter, then there is some sort of restriction in the Venting.. either the bov or the return line.

if the return line hasn't been reduced too much in diameter, then it shouldn't be a problem till you are well up in the 300rwkw as per Mafia's car.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
