i think this will be a better setup, quicker spool with reasonable power output.
Any thoughts?

[PL_GTR]

mmm I consider this my second project car.

Keep up the good work Jakub, that MAF is waiting also

[Skym]

Would be much appreciated, thanks.

Were all learning something new everyday about our cars, nobody knows everything, including me.

Where I am, don't have access to a NAPA store.

1inch = 25.4mm. At least that's what it says on conversion chart I have.

76mm / 25.4mm = 2.9921 inch or roughly 3 inchs, which like you have already said, doesn't look long enough.

i take some pictures for you, but i am not expert on Bovs. mine came with like a wide adapter thing on the bov end where we attacked a rubber hose from napa + silicone rad hose and made a join from bov to the re-circ pipe. It idles at 850rmp when engine is warm.

Edit. ya you don't need a specific cuppler from synapse, just make your own, it works fine.

ya 7 cm is way to short, now way it will make it

I never doubted the mines GTR.

Where there's a will there's a way.

But on that note, it will come sooner if you save your money now

I see, thanks.

From what I can see from construction diagrams, Synapse BOV doesn't use a diaphram, it uses O rings. Sometimes if O rings aren't lubed when installed, they can break or be damaged and not seal properly.

I thought Synapse BOV needed a different recirc joiner, as I measured stock BOV recirc fitting at 29mm / 25.4mm = 1.1417 inch or so. So stock rubber recirc joiner won't fit over a 1.25 inch x 25.4 = 31.75mm fitting. Would have to buy their recirc joiner. Just as well, as I need to replace that joiner due to stock intake hose clamps producing cracks in that joiner.

Here's the 1.25" silicon hose joiner on their website -

Do you have rough idea on length of that joiner, as 76mm might not be long enough???

What did you do for boost feed???

[PL_GTR]

i have a practically brand new nismo twin plate and its fine for my application.

snow i will be able to get the Mine's Gtr if i get into a career sooner or later, its still a few years off and i am both working hard and being optimistic. I gave up on the whole lottery thing lol.
