so i can get a dossing sound..

trust me bud, women dont like it. i know you're doing it for the ladiez and think they get nipple fats when they hear it, but really they think you have a small dingaling.

but anyways back to the topic, the 2 pipes connected to the intake snorkel is your blow off valve return line and a crankcase breather (or blowby).

i wouldnt go blocking off the breather but if you're not going to run a bov then you can block off the bov return line.

OR.

save yourself the headaches and potential turbo/engine damage and get a stainless steel intake pipe. you'll have mad flUttErZzZzz.

yea i was going to do that why not do it?

1. it's not designed to run in the cooler piping

2. wierd readings

2. the reading pin inside the air flow meter is a delicate object which you wouldn't want to damage at high boost levels.

mate this site is full of critics. if u want dose, than all the best with it. Whether they think its a wank factor or not, when a car doses everyones heads turn. and so what if they have no performance benefit, neither do bodykits or bigger wheels, yet most cars on this forum have one or the other, if not both :)

Quicky has it on the head, damage wise shouldnt cause a problem on low boost but ive seen the vl guys running 20psi on there rb30s with no issues.. It does sound "off tap"

Omar I looked everywhere for that Pink Unicorn... wtf is it?!

Technical info just in, sick dose sound does not come just from metal pipe.. tested and offically makes induction sound louder but not dose.. tightening the bov will tho.

you can tighten your stock bov by putting it under a vice grip and "crushing" the top of the bov a couple of millimeter. i would only advise this if you're doing it for bov leaking purposes. using a blanking plate is the same as tightening a bov enough for no air to pass through.

stainless intake pipe will increase the sound of your "dose" because of the resonating sound traveling through. the standard rubber snorkel deadens it.

have a read of THIS. he's apparently the master of "dosing". your new best friend.

hope that helps!

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By Nydt · Posted

      Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
