G'day guys,

I.ve just bought my first skyline. It's a 1992 r32.

It's got no engine mods at all, just a 3" cat back and is really quiet. I'm wondering if i take the plumb back pipe off the stock BOV an plug it off. And let the stock BOV vent to atmo will that cause any problems?

This is just temporary until i can get a decent BOV.

Your advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hey

It will not boost properly as the stock blow off valve leaks air into the plumb back pipe which then, as you would know , joins back in to the intake pipe

It recirculates the air to keep the car running smooth, prevent stalling and surging through gear changes and when RPM drops rapidly

For the stock blow off valve to function properly it needs to be plumbed back at all times, if you block the plumb back pipe and have the blow off valve vent to atmo you will be causing a leak, therefor the car won't run/boost as it should so probably not the best idea

You can block the blow off valve on the cross pipe, block the plumb back pipe and block the vacuume line, that will work but probably won't get the sound your after

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
