hey,

ok today i was driving, and i notice i couldn't hear my bov, after turning off the radio i could hear it but it sounded like it was block or something im not sure, but always when i got home i found that the tube had fallen off (see picuter) after reconnecting it my question is does it just clip on or do i have to put some tape around it 2 hold it on.

Thanks

ok new problem, after fixing the problem, i took the car out 2 get some video i gave it alittle stick in 1st gear and it came off again :D , when i got 2 the video shop i put it back on again, and when driving home i gave it alittle (not as much as before) and it still came off after about 1 to 2mins of driving

hmmm

i dont know much of HKS BOV's, but with any pipe thing like that you can use either a cable-tie or a very small screw-tighten type clamp.

the clamp is overkill. as long as u put a small zip tie on and zip it up as tightly as you can, you shouldnt have any problems with it i wouldnt say. my BOV on my car has its vacuum line held via a cable tie and has no problems.

but yeh if it falls off, which i doubt it will if u do it nice and tight, a really small screw-up hose clamp would do the job too =)

Nice front bar Mike, the standard setup uses the larger of the hoses all the way to the BOV. That little valve being used as an adapter is the culprit. try to replace the entire section with the larger hose and standard clip clamps.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
