Hi guys can someone explain to me how having a BOV vented to the atmosphere increases pollution? No not noise, that isn't the issue, unless it's over the DBA limit of course. The BOV only opens when the throttle is closed and when the throttle is closed the PCV valve draws air from the cam cover venting into the engine where it is combusted and cleaned by the cat.

So if everything is working OK, the only thing that comes out of the BOV is what went through the air filter. Since the air filter cleans out some crap, I would have thought the EPA would be happy with BOV's vented to atmosphere as they clean up the air for us to breath.

Try that next time the pesky pests annoy you.

Yeah but that assumes your engine and BOV are in perfect running order. I would imagine there would be a number of incidences where a sick engine/turbo can spew noxious gases out of the BOV. Also would a venting BOV make the engine run rich? Changing these circumstances would increase noxious emissions?

Hi Tony, a couple of comments following on from your last post.....

"assumes your engine and BOV are in perfect running order"

So the pesky pests should be checking badly running cars, not ones with atmosphere vented BOV's. I followed a car to work this monring that was spewing so bad I had tears in my eyes, had to put the A/C on recirc.

"Also would a venting BOV make the engine run rich"

Yep, but not as much as when the engine is cold. At least the cat will be warmed up when the BOV vents and do something about it. When the engine is rich and cold, so is the cat, so it don't do squat.

Hope that adds to the discussion.

Can you make all BOV's plumbback, or only specially designed ones?

i am not a riceboy but dont have a big adversion to the noise as long as it only comes on when boosting.

But i dont really want a atmo venting one as i couldnt be bothered with the hassle from the cops

yes i will be running large amounts of boost on occasion :D

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
