Just wonderin, My stock boost is set at 7psi ( for now anyway ), the aftermarket BOV i wanna put on is from a m8s R34 which was set at about 15psi, so the question is: Can i just wack on the aftermarket one and it will be ok or do i have to adjust the BOV so it works with 7psi. This may be a silly question but does the amount of boost make any difference to the air pressure left in the piping when the throttle is let off??J

Ummm.... boost IS THE PRESSURE IN THE PIPING... so its the same as the speed you are going DOES make a difference to how fast you are going....

Why are you talking about BOV setting boost levels?

BOV's DO NOT CONTROL boost. They are just a valve, a blow off valve infact. It will open when the vacuum lines sucks the valve open. The tension in the spring is something you may want to consider, a heaps hard spring won't open as easily but will limit leak.

i was also wondering how much boost the stock bov can handle before it leaks, as i want to run 18 - 19psi on my rb20, and i was thinkin the stock one would open up at that sort of pressure so i was thinkin about getting a greddy type s bov, but only if it was needed,

all your help is appreciated.

20 lb on stock block = disaster dude....about everythign is wrong with runnin that much psi on an RB20 with no mods to ur pistons..injectors...fuel pump....cams...as for the stock bov i thought they were effective to handle 14-15 lbs could be wrong here howevere

mate has a r31 with r32 rb20, stock cams,stock engine, just forged pistons.

runs 20pounds day in day out, tuned with a microtech ltx8

running for over 40,000klms!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
