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

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
