ok guys i need help.

full story, i have an r32 gtr and recently upgraded some parts including turbos..

so anyway at 1.2 bar im making 275kw at wheels, and was told i could make more but stock afm's and bov.s have maxed out

sjust purchased some atmo bee r bovs that bolt straight on,

so today i pulled my front bar off to replace old bovs with new and realised that my car hasnt even got any bovs, the pipe has been sealed and lines run back on themselves.. WTF? im confused and totally at a loss as what i should do?

after reading loads on here i dunno wether to just bolt the bovs on and it will be all good, or wat?

anyone know what the hell is going on and wi need to do?

i was under the impression that at high boost lvls i was leaking and that by putting these aftermarket ones on it would hold and makes boost fine..

Agreed, and its been shown over and over again. The AFMs were probably running out of resolution at 280kw though.

I'm not really sure what you are descibing for the BOVS...but if there is nothing there at all, and you paid for a pair of new ones (that you probably didnt need in the first place) is sounds like a pretty bad deal.

But maybe when you say its blocked off you just mean the return to the intake? Assuming the BOVs vent the air externally, none of the return piping will be required any more (and you car may stall when you return to idle from a good run)

what i was told by looking at it now is that its all been completely removed for perhaps a decent single bov, but then if they removed that and now there is nothing..

cos the ones i bought are atmo does that mean i can just cut the sealed pipe and join mine and re join the lines and away it goes?

cos i wot need the return line..

Attached. Someone posted it for me, now doing the same.

I've got 2 ssqv's, thought i couldn't run without recirculation due to fmic being in the way (where the original pipe ran behind - no room now)

Last time i asked, someone said you could put on the stock ones and then place air filters over the open hole of both BOV's.post-31555-1235211944_thumb.jpg

I have a new question about gtr bov's.

I bought 2 and installed 1 on my gtst, the second day of having it it started making some very strange noises on release.

Pulled it off and shook it and could here something rattling around inside of it.

So my question is do bov's eventually fail like everything else? Has anyone else had this problem? Is it still safe to drive?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
