Firstly I apologies if this has been covered but either my search function sucks balls or I just can't find anything on the topic?

Ok so my exhaust is a 3" turbo back job but has a custom screamer pipe and a blocked bov for dose

Neither of these things appeal to me

The car has a td05 turbo gtr injectors FMIC and a few other goodies making about 210rwkw at 1bar

The reason I say this is I have 2 questions

Will a stock bov set up either still blocked or plumbed in properly be ok on these boost levels? am I going to loose any power or have more lag or response yadayada,

Looking for a slightly more legal and city friendly sound. I actually don't mind the flutter but yea anyway.

And the other question is what's the best way to plumb both of these things in properly? I know the screamer needs to enter the exhaust system before the cat.

The screamer makes sence to me but I'm not even sure if my blocked bov is a stock unit? Pick below.

Sorry I will also add that I have a limited understanding of the pipe work, how much would a shop slug me without being dicks to remove the screamer pipe and plumb it in?

Thanks in advance for the help and sorry if theirs a million threads already existing.

Stock BOV it is . Just use some hose of that size, or source the original hard pipe from a wreck to connect the BOV outlet back to the turbo inlet. Depending on what needs to be done to your turbo inlet to hook that up, this should cost from not a lot to not a lot more.

Exhaust shop should be able to connect the screamer back into the dump at the bottom bend for not a lot. Almost beer money.

Oh, by the way, the stock BOV is the best thing to have on the car for response. And it will be perfectly fine at 1 bar boost.

That is the stock BOV, they just whacked a cup over the end to seal it off. Take that off and get that line plumbed infront of your turbo, in your intake pipe. What ECU do you have btw? Do you have an AFM?

I would leave the BOV and get rid of the screamer. That one will get you into big shit.

you can buy a JJR bellmouth dump pipe for $180 which will fix your screamer problem, id rather do that than plumb in the screamer... the bellmouth works best on a stock sort of setup

reconnect the stock bov as its just capped off. buy the stock hoses and pipes from a wrecker. stock bov good to over 20psi no worries (1.5 bar)

Ok I'm going to fly my noob flag a little bit.

I buy the stock solid hose and that goes from my bov to.... Is their another blocked off hose point somewhere?

Also a new bellmouth dump pipe what size are they? Do I need a larger one?

can post a pic of the intake/turbo side of engine, as you say it has a TD05 so the piping may have been changed, if the stock intake pipe is still in place then there will be a port to plumb it back into.

if the TD05 turbo has the standard T25 flange setup them just buy the dump pipe as stated already, pic of screamer from turbo would help with advise aswell

agreed i forgot to take notice that you have a TD05, you may need to retain the custom dump unless your TD05 has the standard sort of dump pipe pattern.

please take a photo of your turbo and plumbing on that side and post.

Is that screamer just pressed into the WG outlet? Jeeezus Christ!

The dump and screamer are nasty enough that I would replace them rather than keep them. But yes, as above, it could just be joined back in and it would work*.

*by work I mean just as well as it does now, but without the shitful noise.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
