How do I quieten my stock blow off valve without putting my air box back in? I have a FMIC and the box doesn't fit anymore because of the cooler piping :D

I took my car to the licensing centre to get my yellow off but they said I have to quieten the bov somehow, and then they'll give me a permit for my cooler and my pod filter :confused:

I admit it's pretty loud, but it's totally stock!

What can I do!

Cheers :)

JiMiH my stocker bov was f'in loud when i had to get mine registered, they couldnt say a thing though because the compliance engineer had passed the air filter I had and therefore theres no possible way to shut the damn thing up!

I hate the sound of the standard one, its so bloody loud its not funny.

R33's must have the recirc pipe further down the line. I think the problem on the R32 occurs because the recirc pipe joins right before the air filter.

Just take the standard one off and bolt a plate over the hole, its not illegal NOT to have a bov now is it! Just get the yellow off and put the bov back on.

Cheers for the replies guys :)

That's a good idea about putting a plate over the whole thing i might just do that .... failing that I'll be up to your house Steve :)

I went to the Welshpool pits (they also didn't pass me because I have a chrome-look cup on my boost guage :) )

How do you put up with that shit?!!?

I admit, I haven`t been in Oz for quite a while, but that is just freekin crazy! On what grounds would they not pass you for chrome on a boost guage? Did I just type that...? *chrome on a boost guage*... yes I did...:confused:

The reason for pillar mounted guages being a problem is if they are within a certain radius of your head (can't remember number)and could be struck by it in an accident. Vision wise, as they are off to the side I don't believe they are a problem.

i have Blitz BOV on my car and i have it permitted as well as my Filter and FMIC. on my permit sayd BOV not to be too loud hahah thast the funniest shit i have ever heard coz it is loud as f@#k. I went to welshpool. They didnt pass my pillar guage coz yes was chrome and the light reflection was the only problem. I taped it up with tape and toook it back over (they passd it) its all a crock of BS if you ask me. My car handles and stops better than most cars out there yet i still get yellows for mods even if they are improvements. But what can you do. Cops should learn a little about cars and mods b4 they go out in the world and tell us what is and isnt wrong.

With little choice, its a police state here, ironically, they'll sticker a jap import for stupid reasons, yet a smokeing POS with bald tyres and rust throughout will drive on by and not get a second look

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
