Ok I know I know that my car is not a Skyline but I had to share this info with you I just found out.

Just found an interesting fact out about my car, it never came out of the factory with a BOV!.. how weird is that?!?!

Engine in question here is a 1G-GTEU.

It has been fitted with an aftermarket BOV since (blitz atmo), but never had a factory one... found this out when i was trying to find a BOV that went back into the system.

Wouldn't this be damaging to the turbo's?.. especially if uping the boost?.

Guess I will have to just keep the atmo one and hope for the best :rofl:.

Dean did your mates Supra have a BOV on it?

Hey rob, mate my mates was bone stock. It had no bov afaik and all i remember about the car was its water to air intercooler.

Like i said mate, there is absolutely nothin about this engine.

All i can think off is that the BOV is meant to help protect the turbo and help it spool faster, so really, i dont think it can be hurtin them too much.

Hows the car goin now anyway? I wouldnt mind seeing it soon. Comin to the cruise on sun 25th?

Hey Dean,

Ahh he must have had a Gen II 1G-GTE , mine is Air to Air intercooled. Gen III 1G-GTE came out in the 1988 models and changed from water/air to air/air and was factory rated at 210 BHP (or around that) up from 175BHP in the Gen II.

Na I mean't I thought it would do damange not having a BOV :O.

Car is going great now, the Alternator was causing all those probs I was having.. since i got it fixed I havn't had a single prob :O.

I can't come to next weeks cruise as I have a 40th the night before and yeah won't be in any shape to drive the next day :rofl:.

However the next cruise I will be there, confirmed it already with the misses hehe.

Hopefully by then it will be lowered... (getting whiteline springs put in)

Hmm interesting indeed.

On another note, do you ever remember seeing an external antenna on your mate's car?.... Mine doesnt have 1 at all on the exterior.. it must be somewhere under the body?, unsure if this is factory or not.....yet the MA70 & JZA70 have them on the rear (right side).

Cheers thanks Danish :(

Mine runs a boost controller (unplugged at present tho) so want to keep to BOV on there just incase.

See you have a GZ20 Soarer .. there is one of them around the corner from where I live but it is not registered yet, looks like it has just been imported and hasn't gone to regency yet.. very nice looking cars.

I had a Blitz BOV on my old 1G for a while. But it didn't vent much at all since there was a problem with the engine. I think it was very low compression in the end.

A friend of mine welded the standard metal peice the BOV came with from a Silvia to fit the 1G.

I ran about 15PSI in the end with and without a BOV.

How about just cut loose the 1G and get a 1JZ? :(

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
