got a turbosmart dual port 3 bov on my r33. For those who are unfamiliar its atmo and plumb back with the option to also block off the trumpet and make it fully plumb back or vice versa with the plumb back pipe. I currently have it set up so its fully atmo the plumb back pipe has not been blocked it just has not been connected. Will i get better performance if i....

a) connect the plumb back but keep the trumpet attached so that at high revs it will still let it atmo but still plumb back at low revs and midrange etc. but does this still work cos i dont understand if at low revs it recirculates the air then wont i still lose some through the trumpet as its still open???

or...

B) fully plumb it back

i have a turbosmart dual port fitted on my r33 gts25t. the way mine is setup is, i still have the plumb back pipe connected, but i do not have the blanking flange installed (the one which reconfigures to either plumb back or atmospheric dump only). the dual port bov has two chambers, the lower one is for plumb back venting, and the upper chamber vents to atmosphere out the trumpet. if it vents at low boost, it will only plumb back into the air intake. if it vents at high boost, the valve will be pushed up past the lower chamber and vent out the trumpet to atmo.

so your answers is, a) works fine :)

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
