I assume its atmospheric? Probably going to see a lot of stalling while driving then... Should get it tuned to counter that, but I dunno if you can do that with a stock ecu.

Also depends on what type of BOV it is i think, some of them have adjustable vents so you can control the pressure being released, etc.

Hi, yup I'm staying plump back but like I was saying stock ecu but with cat back if I change to after market BOV any adjustment to be made on the BOV itself? And how to do it?

Cheers

Well plumb backs are fine then, but that begs the question: Why get an aftermarket one at all?

Unless you have such a big intake that the air flow is more than the stock BOV can handle (considering you have a stock ECU, that seems unlikely), the stock one will be more than good enough. Its just a valve, there is no performance gain from them at all. You would be far better off spending the money elsewhere, or saving up for something much more useful :D

I had the stock bovs push open when boost is over 10 psi , get hammer out n smash end in to get a bit more tension on spring :D run my 31 at plex with return off plumb back n car 3mph slower n laggier between gears :(

Oh forgot to add that I have a plump back FMIC installed as well. So...... Cos very new to this Turboed car thing. Last car was a civic B16 twin cam convert. So any advice would be good.

Leave the standard BOV that's on their at the moment if its not causing you any problems..

No point in getting an aftermarket one as most people buy them for the different noises they make. Plumb back makes hardly any noise, so defeats that purpose.

Dont see how it makes a difference.

For all of you making a big comment about how its not an issue, he has mentioned he's had troubles with it holding boost.

That being said I don't know much about what aftermarket BOV's are better than others, I suggest you call someone from the consolidated workshop thread, or a known parts store in perth i.e. kyp/jpc etc to see what they think will be best for you.

I don't see where he mentions that..

Agreed on calling / getting perth store on recommendation for aftermarket bov + installing it.

      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

      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..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
