Gtr Bov's, Help

[02_FNE]

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..

Stockies are good for up to 2 bar if they are in ok condition.

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)

Seen GTR BOV's hold over 35psi no problem...

Whoever told you they couldn't was full of it

Since you don't have any... if you need some PM me i've got one set left i think that will get you outta the pickle!

[02_FNE]

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..

can anybody put me to a pic of what a standard setup looks like

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

im running blitz bovs with return blocked (no idling probs).. why dont u just stick the bee-r bov and dont worry bout re-circulation setup.. ill try dig up pic

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.

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?

anyone got a pic of what the standard setuplooks like..

[TTT]

there is a diagram posted above of the standard system

and yes, like anything that moves, it can eventually fail

here is an actual pic of the stock bovs..

thank you. that pic helps..

and yeh ive been looking at the diagram above..

im just tryin to figure out exactly what i need to re fit the atmo bovs ive got..

so i know i dont need return lines..

so i just bolt them on as per originals would, then connect the hoses and wella?
