I've seen that people put crx seats and miata seats in there z's. I just wanted to know if anyone has ever put integra da seats in there z. I bought a pair for a primo price and couldnt pass em up.

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.

I want my intake mani to look like this

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.

Sorry wrong pic. More like this but what could i use to plug the whole were the pov is?

NismoPick

^^^ That's Bleach's.

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?

NismoPick

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.

Bleach

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.
