Hey Guys, as above, Can i run a blow off valve setup off the hot side of the cooler setup on a 26 rather than the cold side. Installed a 26 in my R33 Gtst, and am having problems with the bov return pipes.

Would make life easier if i could run BOV's on the hot side and get them plumbed in there too..

Whats your Say on this guys?

Cheers

I was running a vented BOV on the hot side, right infront of the turbo actually. I took it off the same day I fitted it on, mainly because I hate vented BOV's. It worked just fine. Plumbing back a BOV back onto the hot side hmmm kind of sounds weird to me but that would be very interesting...

I dont see why not. Its doing the same job regardless.

Just seems like most BOV are as close to the TB as possible.

I have seen a GTR with custom bov return. They just made a pretty stainless pipe up that went between the head and the radiator. Looked good. Cant seem to find the picture anywhere though

In short: "I installed a bov and then I took it off on the same day, because I hate bov's"

Some people have weird ways of passing time..

OP, you can run it on the hot side its fine. In theory the closer it is to the throttle the better but I've never had a problem with it on the hot side and many brand name parts come in a kit on the hot side. Whatever really..

Just had this debate. I reckon nearer the turbo rather than nearer the throttle body but where ever it is I suspect makes very little difference. Some people have it on the hot side some on the cold side some manufacturers stick it on the intercooler so what ever suits your needs or tastes will be fine.

Some guy gave it to me, it came welded onto the standard hot pipe to be a direct replacement into the R33. He said they don't sound like the other high pitch BOV's. I tried it out, didn't like it, sold it lol. Turbosmart, turbofart.

Was it the 'rattle snake' one? I like that one better than most but still not a fan of atmo's.

In my case it's stock GTR or nothing.

Its taken me a while to get what you're saying but I don't think (hope not) that the OP is planning to plumb the bov back into the hot intercooler pipe but into the turbo intake on that side of the engine!

It would work but maybe not as well as just before the throttle body, may get a bit of reversion.

When I went forward facing plenum in my 32gtst (custom setup, not GReddy so didn't go through the battery tray), I fitted a full 32GTR cooler/piping/bov/recirc setup. Really nice solution!

With the 34 I will do the same but just run 2" pipe straight across instead of the molded plastic GTR recirc pipe :thumbsup:

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
