Hi all,

I have just installed a HKS SSQ BOV (lots of acronyms here haha) and have only one question... the plumb back piping from the stock BOV is kind of just sitting there.. should i be doing something with this?

THe car is a series 1 R33 Gts-t.

Thanks for your help!

Just chock it up and fasten with a hose clamp. You can find blanking plugs, or just use some correctly sized dowel.

Not really what i asked for help with... but i dont plan on getting any extra horsepower.

Thanks for the help :ermm:

You should put that end into the stock blow off valve.

How much extra horsepower do you think you'll get with this device?

Thanks for that mate, helped a lot to get some acual advice. The only problem with forums is the population of self-proclaimers who try to thrust their opinion on people who really dont want it!

Cheers, appreciate it!

I can understand The Mafia's pain, when there are almost weekly "why is my car stalling" threads... (which is caused by ATMO BOV's)

It stands to reason in some cases :thumbsup:

But ye, just block it up if you must have ATMO. And pray you dont have stalling and other issues :ermm:

i cut the top of a coke bottle, so it had some more thicker plastic to clamp into with the still on, didnt have any stalling issues,

just got sick of the car nose diving down when i slightly changed throttle positions so i put the stock one back on and im loving it

+1 stock bov

Hey guys,

well i understand a bit more now about mafia's position.

Thanks for the advice- a coke lid is an awesome idea haha. Doubles as a great pipe cap and to prove my undying trust for the coke brand :P

I will be interchanging the stocko and the atmospheric- i just love the sound of the HKS atmo BOV. When i start doing track stuff in the near future i will be putting the stocko back on. only a 10 minute venture so not the end of the world.

Cheers all

Q for the mafia,

My stock bov makes a high pitch sqealy rubber fart noise at boost, would it be worth getting an aftermarket plumbback BOV?

I don't like atmo's just that "poofter mating call" noise gives me the shits.

rofl - poofter mating call

I dunno, is your return line blocked? Do you still have the rubber intake pipe?

Rubber intake pipe, yes. Return should be clear.

I did how ever do the screw in the leak hole trick.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
