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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
