Hey Guys...

Total newbie here, so pls excuse this dumb question - I wanna fit an aftermarket BOV to my R33 gts-t, so in preparation I blanked off the plumb back hose. This made the engine run very rough, and a fair bit of air hissed from the factory bov outlet on idle. Will this happen when the new bov (GFB basic) is fitted? Was this normal?

Thnx

Hi there, yes that is normal, the stock blow off valve will leak air when driving off boost causing the engine to run roughly when the air return hose is not connected. they're not designed to vent to atmosphere. My car did the same thing but once you fit a aftermarket one it'll run normal again. I wouldn't recomend driving it with the stock blow off valve running vent to atmosphere either mate.

the aftermarket bov will most probably fit in the place of the factory one.

so until you have that ready to fit, unblock all hoses and leave the factory one on there as it is supposed to.

once you have the new bov, remove the stock one.

block off the big return hose.

attach the new bov and attach the small vacuum line to the new bov.

adjust it as required.

keep the stock bov..

you'll want it back soon

trust me,your car we stall,probably not straight away but it will.

everyone on here told me it would but i ignored them and stalled at an intersection and nearly got wiped out by a truck.

i don't know if this happens to every R-33 GTS-T but i have to get mine tuned for it.

am i right or wrong guys?

that's correct. it might not stall all the time but it will stall and when it does you will look like an idiot at the lights/intersection. an aftermarket MAF based ecu can be tuned to cover up the issue or a MAP based ecu which wont care what sort of bov or if you even have a bov on there.

So true.

Hehe! Yep.

yup, they're right. yet if you manage to boost your car high enough for the stock bov to give in, buy a GTR bov. problem, solved.

True, I know the stock GTR BOV can handle over 300kW if not a bit more with no problems.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
