My r32 came with an atmo bov so I don't have any of the stock plumb-back piping etc. I want to replace it with an aftermarket plumb-back item.

I'll probably buy a Blitz Super SOund one from just jap (return type, ie plumb-back) made for my car (unless anyone knows any other good kits for RB20DET).

What else will I need that is unlikely to come with the kit?

Do I just need to make a hose to dump the bov air back to the inlet pipe (where plug has been placed).

Should I use silicone radiator hose type stuff?

Does anyone have a pic of how the stock setup runs?

Cheers :laugh:

Hey mate,

This is the stuff I used when I returned my blow off valve back to standard from a crappy HKS knock off that came with the car....

It's 32mm inner diameter, 40mm outer diameter (fits perfectly over the factory blow off valve). Not sure what the actual plastic is but its really tough, withstands heat pretty well and has a steel spiral moulded through it for strength. It's kinda flexible, but to get from the factory blow off valve location to the factory plumb back location you don't need much flex anyway. You can see in my pics below just how little flex you need to get to the return inlet.

I can't remember how much it cost, but I ordered it in from revolution racegear (steve's speed shop here in Shellharbour).

Here is a couple of pics of my setup with the piping above and a factory blow off valve....

Where it actually plumbs in is kinda hard to take pics of, but if you have the standard intake pipe hooked up, its just the big outlet there. The little one will be for the crank case gasses. You will most likely need a small length of metal pipe to connect the return hose to the intake pipe...half inside the return pipe, the other half inside the inlet on the intake pipe... (i used a small length that came with a blow off valve i bought ages ago)... but it's all pretty straight forward.

Hope that helps mate.

I have a Greddy Tyre R BOV and here is an example of another way of routing your bov back to intake. It doesnt have to be from the factory location, and all you need to do is get the air back to the intake pipe.

haha I used that stuff on my old Black 32 Gts-t... Was a fail whenever the car got hot the hose couldn't stand the temps and would melt :)

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
