Hi,

I just fitted an aftermarket bov on my R33 and now I have the plumb back pipe just sitting there I have just put some race tape over the hole (temp. fix) but what do most of your guys do with this pipe afterwards?

I see the plumb back pipe simply returns back to the pipe running from the turbo to the AFM/pod filter.

I was thinking about having a custom pipe made from the turbo to the AFM.

Or to save the stuffing around does anyone know where I could buy one?

just use something to block the hole where the BOV plumbs back in .. that way you can always put the stock one back in if you get defected.

people i know have used the rubber stoppers from chairs legs before. dont use tape.. wont last long

i used a welch plug and it works fine and has been in there for about 8 months now. i am going to see a custom metal fabricator today about getting a new stainless stell or alluminium pipe made up to run bettween my turbo and afm. i will pm you and tell you how i go.

it also depends on how much work you are going to do to you engine, if you are going to retain the standard size inlet on you turbo and in the factory position then go for it otherwise put up with it till you get your new set up.

cheers,

boz

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
