Ok so I'm about to replace the standard BOVs with an aftermarket blitz item on the weekend.

Just wanted to know if i need to get anything else before I take the front bar off and have a crack. Swapping them over is pretty straight forward but I wanted to know whether anything special is required to replace 2 BOVs with 1.

BTW I know the factory GTR BOVs are good enough as they are. This is my car and is a personal choice that I'm making so if you dont have anyting productive to add are just going to flame me for putting on an aftermarket item then dont bother.

Thanks

Pls find attached a pic of the Blitz item

The Blitz item you have seems to have the correct flange on it so its a matter of unbolting the old ones and putting the blitz ones on...and then blocking off the plumback pipes...

PS: i'm not against aftermarket BOVs at all but to me the blitz ones and the apexi ones are probably the worst sounding bovs of the lot...

sweet thanks for your help man.... i sorta like the blitz item... heard one on a 32GTR the other day and i liked it :D

will let you know how I go over the weekend

i have the exact same unit on mine, u should also check that the pistons can be moved if u ease off the top adjustment nut.. mine was clogged with oil/crap and jammed so im currently cleaning the whole unit

u can block off the return pipe with whateva, but i have found turbosmart does making blanking caps in the correct diameter, probably best way to go, $16 odd bucks

ps. what u doing with ur stock as i might be interested in returning mine back to stock

cheers man.... any idea which mm the diameter is? i think it might me 19mm.... do u know if supercheap or any of the other auto stores stock the plug??

yavuz tuned mine as well, didnt have any issues with idling before the tune however have read others have.. the blanking plug is around 30mm i think, will measure mine when i put the bovs back on tonight

thanks mate

I guess, thats what I was asking

Seems like I will take it off and plug the pipes up

my bad, i assumed u had both bovs, i guess you can tee piece the hoses to the bov and cut a plate to bolt into the empty space or get an adapter for the single bov so it plugs straight into the rubber pipe

I'm also going to do this with my greddy type s but I'm going to plumb it back to fix the idling issues. Making a block off plate for the second bov and the g reddy type s has 2 vacume nipples so I can put them both on for the extra vacume :ermm:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
