Didnt want to make another thread. Were do you guy get your block off plates? Do you just fab them of can you buy them? I want to clean up my intake manifold.

Also, for plugging the holes in the intake manifold do you just get bolts for a hardware store?

If the Acky seats are the same bolt pattern... they should fit.

And which intake "holes" are you wanting to block / plug?

Used a 1/8" aluminum plate traced it out - easy to cut and shape. Standard metric screws and high temp gasket sealant (not required but had it on hand). Easy peasy....

I wanted to block off the egr, aac, pov, and run a straight line from the air regulator to the j-pipe.

That is a non-turbo intake manifold so no block-off plates are on the top of it like you would have on your turbo manifold.

Use a plug from your local hardware store.

I think I heard a trick for plugging that POV.

The intake manifold of a Z31 has a screw in plug in it that fits the 280ZX manifold in that spot. Just take one from a wrecking yard.

Yeah, this hose design is genious! If you can get the bypass valve out, the bolt blocking it is the L-series oil pan plug.

would it make a difference if i removed the pov after installing a bov? Or would it just be best to keep it?

BOV's & POV's serve two different purposes. I'd type it here, but since I've typed it many times before, I give you the offer to search & find it.

The bypass valve may be what you were wanting to ask about. If you leave it in, there won't be enough vac/pressure to release the BOV anyway. I'm pretty sure the bypass will override it.

POV releaves overboost pressure from the intake manifold.
