Should have had the intake pipe go into an empty airbox in the standard position and from there to go back to the turbo. a mate of mine had this setup on his BMW and had the pipe go into his stock airbox which his BOV was inside aswell :P Not once did he get caught either.

Guess i'll have to get new injectors when i do more performance. which i'll remind everyone won't be for quite a while.

How many people would be interested to see the difference in power output when i put the new box in? cause i'll be getting it retuned when i do it, so i guess i might as well put the dyno sheets up.

ca 18 375cc injectors, all cleaned and flow tested.

As far as i know they should be suffiecent enough to handle the power i want to get out of the car.

Whats your car putting to the wheels?

R33 ones are 370cc from what I know and they max out around 210-220kw.

Oh, need to ask this, at the moment i don't have a BOV, when i back off on the boost, i get a flutter sound, is that bad for the turbo?

And seeing as im staying auto, do i need a bov with my setup? Seeing as when the gears change i don't need to back off the accelerator and i'm still on boost for the entire next gear, will putting in a bov ruin that continuous effect?

If i need a bov, i want one that doesn't make much sound when im driving around normally, i dont mind if it makes noise when i've been booting it, but still the more discrete the better. I like the sequential bov's, if that what there called.

no its not bad for the turbo, but a recirc makes tuning slightly easier and will make it a lot quieter if that is what you are after, atmo venting will just be even louder and more annoying.

if you get anything adapt a recirc bov into the intake.

fit a std BOV and it will clear the issues of flutter

the BOV only fires when you close the throttle body so it wont affect the throttle body always on (auto gearbox style)

imho fit a bov

nissan made it std for a good reason

only thing is standard manifolds etc have no provisions for a stock bov, might be easier to fit an aftermarket one with a plumback attachment. I know the rb30et didn't come with a bov from the factory either.

It isn't a huge issue, just comes down to noise and making it easier to tune on gearshifts.

when i get the new gearbox put in i'll tell my mechanic to put in a recirc bov at the same time. Then we'll see what difference that makes on the retune.

Oh and i was just talking to the mechanic and he recons the injectors should be good for about 250rwkw. The limiting component is my gearbox at the moment. So we shall see what happens later down the track.

Hey Kurt,

I'll have to come round and check it out now that you've got her tuned up... I'm glad to see Marty got it all sorted out for you.

Do you still have a stock plastic intake pipe?

For eveyones info, Tassie dosn't have road worthy certs every year and I've never seen a 'defect' sticker... I've been driving heavily modified imports for 10 years. The only thing I've heard of is tickets for bald tyres, lights, loud exhausts and driving offences.

Oh and there's no limmit for p platers.

You may be able to get close to that (or maybe a bit more) if you use an adjustable fuel pressure reg.

Well scrap every thing i said about trying to hide it then.

I still have the plastic snorkle from the front to the box, Marty might still have the pipe that goes from the box to the plenum.

Send us a text on 0435 262 590. I've got tomorro off for once.

I've got a genuine Tomei Fuel Pressure Regulator, don't know if its adjustable or not, but i don know that all the modifcations done to the car were done with quality and reliability in mind.

tomei is adjustable, wind the top bolt (after undoing the lock nut) into the reg to increase the pressure, but only do this on the dyno right before a re tune and dont go crazy with the pressure.

Id get creative and re-install the airbox to plenum pipe to complete the stealth look. Cut the bottom out of it and slide it over the alluminium pipe.

Don't stress about the injectors.

I've got a stall convertor already. or will it not fit a new box?

Hey Kurt, don't you have a spare r31 auto box??? Your best bet would be to send the spare auto box away to get built up (more clutchs, bigger bands, shift kit etc) to handle the extra power... That way it will swap straight in without any buggering around... to put a 33gts-t auto in would be alot of stuffing around.. and it won't last as long as a properly build box anyway.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
