Hi guys. My car does not have bov`s. The pipes where they used to be as standard are blanked. Now as you see in the picture, I have two aditional injectors in the same place where most people would like to have their bov`s fittet. I am wondering if i can fit my bov`s in the same place as standard or on the tubes showed at the edge of the picture(aluminium ones). Thank you!

Yes mate, you can fit your bovs under the headlight panel where the stock ones used to be or on the outer pipes in the engine bay.

 

Are you aware of what spec your engine is? what's been done to it and by whom? and what chip it's running?

Hi. I bought the car from :ban: WRC sales with ported cilinder heads and it`s supose to have hks pistons and conrods, uprated pully`s, bigger aftermarket turbo`s and so on...couple of good mod`s. But one of my cilinders head was cracked and so the engine failed shortly. I had to take the engine off, and doing so I`ve found out that it did not have hks pistons and conrods.... So, i`ve bought another engine from Japan and attached to it all my other uprated parts from my old engine. I`ve got HKS ECU on it. I also made a short video last evening but the quality is not of the best...if you listen closeley you will notice the reving of the engine...up and down...it is not mapped and I will have to go at Dyno for that....My mechanic told me I can still drive it for couple of hundred miles before Dyno....is it true?

Next saturday I am going for weel alignment coz I`ve bought new tyres and they cost me a small fortune(40/18/245front and 40/18/275rear).

Here is the video:

I can drive the car although is not mapped. Am I wright or wrong?

If they stated the car came with bits it didnt come with then I'd get in contact with them and ask why they falsely advertised it, especially for the premium they ask when it comes to Z's. Besides, without reciepts I wouldn't believe anybody who said internal work had been done. Running extra injectors is a bit of a crude method which was perhaps cutting edge in the 80's, but is a cheap way of not having to upgrade the 6 standard injectors to higher volumes. Also I'd watch if it's an HKS/Mines etc. etc. ECU it'll not be mapped for your engine and will be a 'base map' which may or may not suit the engine spec - it's a big grey area. If you're going to the expense of upgrading your engine, then get bigger injectors to replace your stock ones, dump those extra injectors and get the car mapped to run whatever boost you plan running with a unichip/ nistune whatever's your fancy and budget :0)

 

As for driving your car without it being mapped. If it's lasted this long it's probably going to be ok, just don't put it under load. :0)

 

Finally, regarding your original question, if the stock hose pathways to the original BOV's no longer exist - once you saw off the injectors from your hotpipes you could get some silicone hose and attach your BOV's on the end of those protrusions nice and easy, or better yet get them welded in place!
