I just recently got a '93 r32 gts4 skyline and I got this part with the car (uninstalled).

I was just wondering how to install it back on and if possible, if I can replace the BOV to a newer one or something?

Can anyone tell me where to install this and tell me some newer style bov's that will be compatible with the setup.

(At the moment i think it's a plumb back)

Thanks peeps.

i wouldn't bother for 2 reasons.....

1) cop magnet.

2) no performance value what so ever.

nothing wrong with keeping the factory one on and you pretty much get the bov noise when you put a pod filter on but i would recommend a pod box and cold air induction if you go that way.

Throw that out mate.

Its an unknown brand / make, its installed before the intercooler, and those return lines are clearly a 30 second job in the backyard.

No wonder its not installed, the number of issues running that piece of f**ked up experiment...God only knows.

Ideal setup: BOV installed on the crossover pipe, as close to the throttle body as possible,

pulmbed back intothe induction pipe, as close to the turbo as possible.

Okay, so stick to the stock bov yes?

And btw, can anyone post a pic showing me where the stock bov is on an rb20det and some good suggestions of aftermarket bov to buy with the single 'pshh' sound which will be compatible with the rb20det engine. :thumbsup:

im kinda new with skyline engines

Stock BOV is at the very top of the image in the middle. Can't miss it. Kind've looks like a duck wearing a trilby. Okay, maybe not, but it is bolted to a section of the crossover pipe (easy enough to remember as it is the intake pipe that crosses-over the engine).

If your car had a BOV fitted to a section of intercooler piping the stock crossover pipe may have been replaced with a new section of pipe that doesnt have the fitting for the stock BOV or in place of the stock BOV they may have simply blocked it off with a piece of metal.

Luckily both the crossover pipe and standard BOV should be easy to find and cheap to buy.

If you insist on an aftermarket BOV, get one that has an rb20det adaptor so it will bolt straight on. Look in the classifieds section as there used to always be ppl selling as-new BOVs for cheap prices as many people get sick of them after a week or two and dump them for peanuts. Also, you can ask them if it makes a PSH noise like you desire or more of a wapachang which it appears you are not.

LOL!

I just found out that the car was making stupid flutter sounds when i installed the pod filter... The reason was the stock BOV was 'blocked' off ;)

Now since i have the FMIC, Pod Filter, Turbo timer, Boost gauge already. Maybe I should buy a turbotech boost controller($30) and a turboback exhaust?

Unblock the BOV...that flutter sound is the turbo spinning up and slowly down repeatedly very quickly. Eventually you'll loose boost and find your turbo blades in your intercooler.

Fix that first - other mods later.

Yeah, i removed what was blocking the BOV, now its maing a nice single 'pshh' sound. Better?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
