Got the cooler and pipework off a mates r34 skyline, so i figured it would be a pretty straight forward swap

but just wondering what this is in the pipe coming off the manifold. Is it something to do with the dual stage boost?

first two pics show what im talking about, 3rd pic is the pipe that will be in its place. Which has nothing on it to transfer it over..

nope, it is there for a reason, you need to connect it up or blow off to atmosphere, which may be illegal in some/all areas. Without one can cause pressure surges and damage to turbo/engine.

1000th POST !!! woohoo

nope, untrue. you can run without one, you'll just get 'flutter'

don't really want to start a debate on compressor surge though

plenty of turbo motors came from factory without a bov, for instance the ca18det

its debatable weather you need the bov or not. IMO i'm with chook, in that you need to run one. alot of people choose not to run a bov but this is usually on aftermarket turbo setups.

also with the stock bov you just cant run it to atmo, the factory bov is designed to pass on vacuum, so you will get eratic idle and constant stalling. your going to have to get an adapter plate made up to fit it to the new pipe.

to add to this, the RB20DET out of a R32 comes factory with a bov, same engine in an A31 cefiro does not :P

yep, sorry, factory one cant blow to atmos, meant to mention aftermarket BOVs for this. But i still would not want to run around without one, especially with higher than stock boost.

It has a bov on the new pipework, so thats no drama

i just want to know how to disconnect that one and do away with it all

Theres a line that runs down to behind the pod intake.. and a line off that one that goes up to what i think is maybe a solenoid or something with another line that runs down to the waste gate?

ok. i drew some arrows on the pic you gave. the larger pipe with the red arrow pointing to it, just block off, if you dont you will be creating a large vacuum leak. the smaller one with the yellow arrow, run it to the new bov.

Thanks heaps quick32

Been trying to find that out for hours :P

It's coming along alright so far, would be close to finishing it all in one day but im sick as hell with some sort of flu.

You can see on the right where the bov is now, hks ss. Not bad considering my mate gave the whole lot to me for $250.

Thanks jez. Pretty much got it all done, have neatly cut out the front bar to fit around it.

Just gotta get a bit of hose to run down to the bov and block off that vacuum line.

The boost sensor hose was also fitted in there too, is there an easy spot to re locate that or should i just tap a thread into the new piping and run it where it was originally?

but yeah, im done with this swine flu.. medication, beer and bed for me.

thanks guys, its been a productive day :P

Are you still using the factory boost solenoid? Some of the lines you were describing sounded like the lines to and from the boost solenoid to the actuator etc. Whereabouts are you located? I am sure another member would be happy to come around and have a look at your set-up.

Im near brisbane Kiwi.

I got it all sorted out, everything works fine except it likes stalling when i tap the throttle. Im guessing this is because ive just blocked off the pre existing plumb back pipe and not connected it to the new bov?

any way around it? Took it for a test run then up the highway through town and the girl in the landcruiser beside me found it hilarious that i stalled the auto twice trying to take off. She actually slowed down while laughing.. :P

sounds like you have a vacuum leak mate. have you checked that you hooked everything back up? there aren't any vacuum line floating around not hooked up are there? it will still run ok even if you block up the stock bov and dont run one.

how far out of bris are you?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
