If anyone can help,

I've looked at Youtube, the internet and SAU on how to install this type of BOV and i'm not having much luck. I'm confused as to what connects to what. I have 3 outlet, one is at the base of the BOV where you connect straight onto the standard BOV. The 2nd connection is located on the body of the BOV which is near small holes for the exiting air and last connection (3rd) is at the top of the BOV were the nut is located for tightening.

I would really appreciate some help in this area.

Might be helpful if you can say what brand the blowoff valve is, and a picture would help... :P

looks like an Apexi Twin Chamber BOV, or atleast a cheap knock off. try searching "apexi twin chamber bov", should be able to find some instructions.

it just looks like all three are vacume pipes, but i wouldnt be 100% sure about it. bit of a head scratcher :)

Thanks guys, I finally got the thing installed after a bit of swearing and staying up 2 nights after work. The fitting is exactly for a R33 but i had to adjust the rubber tubing for it to go on an angle downwards near the turbo instead of upwards as the bloody vacuum pipe stopped the bonnet from shutting. Me being me, closed the bonnet and made a upwards dent in the bonnet. How do I know this was going to happen, I'm not happy as to what i did to the bonnet.

However, it has a nice whoosh sound when revving the motor as it sounds great. Vacuums No.1 and 2, I tried with no sound, it just didn't give that WHOOSH sound. It sound like a monster waking up, I love it.

For those fitting these BOV's downwards guys and vacuum inlet no.3.

Next thing I have to fix the dent, Cars !!!!!.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
