I just took off my stock rb25det bov last night to replace it with GFB Mach 1

its gone on no problems, but the recirculating pipe back to turbo, or the rubber tube that covers the old b.o.v so that it goes to airbox is now left open...

i called gfb to get the rubber BUNG to plug it up, but i started car last night, & yea it was idleing fine, but when revved, it started to sound as though it was chugging along,

the bung is being delivered to me today my gfb, but can i still drive to the ervo in it for milk & bread & shit, or THE PLUG MUST BE IN PIPE? :Oops: ??? NOT SURE?

If you have a vacuum leak after the Air Flow Meter.

The car will run like shit if at all.

Seal up any holes left from the old re-cirulation type BOV if you are not using it anymore.

Also make sure the spring tension on the BOV is set correctly or it will leak there as well.

cheers mate

yea, the bov seems to work fine, not holding boost as good as the stock b.o.v

i thinkk ill have to fiddle with the spring tension somemore..

when i gear change in boost, theres an actual car shudder which was not normal?

it comes on boost harder than b4 though, so i think a bit more fiddling round, i hope thats it...but all i did was take off old b.o.v & bolt new one?

cars are fiddly sh*ts

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
