I'm based in Melbourne and have been into the car scene for 20 years now, I've seen drifting come and go I've seen Silvia's and skylines go from being worth $40k down to $4k and now back up to $40k for a Rough example, I sold new cars for Nissan for 14 years and its safe to say I have NISSAN BLOOD running through my veins yet here I am being unable to afford the cars I once had which has turned me to becoming a "HONDA BOI" I have to say they are great cars I love learning about them and lets face it value for money they are ridiculously fast!
Check below to see my car resume:
*1991 Nissan Pulsar N14 SSS- 118kW not raced
*1996 Nissan Silvia S14 200sx -220kW 13.0@109mph
*1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR- 350kW 12.0@118mph

*2015 Nissan Pulsar C12 SSS- 200kW 14.0@104mph
*1998 Honda Civic EK sedan TBA-TBA stay tuned I want this baby to run a 10 second pass

Would've been good to show how the BOV was recirculated back into the airbox and whether it cased any issues like CEL. There is no obvious solution to replumb as there is a two bolt flange and o-ring holding in the stock bypass valve.

No you can’t install an external wastegate on a stock turbo the turbo already has a wastegate built in, if I were you I would buy a haltech ecu and a flex fuel sensor and wide band o2 sensor all from haltech and a Mac valve electronic boost controller and get the car tuned this will make your car extremely powerful and fast , maybe the fastest in the world as not many people have modified these
