Cheers Chris - that was great you doing that.

I'm just trying to track down a stock setup. A guy in melbourne on these forums has the stock BOVs but not the piping...I'm wondering how hard that will be to get ...

Here you go, just took them for u now.

I have a POD filter on my car. Dont think it has any influence on the Blow off valve. The stock setup is just putting it on the stock pipe. Making sure the Plumb back pipe is connected and that the smaller pipe from the BOV to the Manifold is also connected. And it should be fine.

Seems like my car has the standard BOV still connected with all the hoses (doesn't appear to be tampered with)...plumbing back into just after the POD

How can this be. Do some people add a HKS while keeping the standard BOV there.

So I can just take the HKS BOV off?

Is the HKS doing most of the work?

Gee these are nice motors.

It would make sense using both bov's though as a means of utilising the designed in 'leak' of the standard bov for the purposes of keeping the idle working correctly for the standard ECU.

The point I'm not sure about is whether the standard bov would have been screwed really tight to stop the valve from opening.

Yeah it is Chris. Will get the digi out tommorrow and have a better look - but traced all plumbing from the standard BOV and there seems to be nothing disconnected ....

Wonder if this means I can just get that pipe that has the HKS on it and replace it..

Both can be connected. I got one friend with an R32 with a HKS one and a stock one connected. This is how it works for him. When he drives the car normally the stock BOV works normally and there isnt enough pressure to open the HKS one. When he full on floors it then the pressure is higher and then the HKS BOV vents the pressure. If everything is connected i dont see y it wouldnt work. look foward to the pics :(

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
