Ive just put a Power FC on an R33 Gtst along with a bigger turbo. Now since i finished putting the turbo and power fc in, when i rev the car in neutral it will either stall or the revs will start fluxuating. So when im pulling up to a set of light if i slow the car right down then put the clutch in its ok, but if i put it in while the revs are still up it will either stall or the revs will fluxuate.

We tuned it on the dyno like this but my tuner said it could be because i didnt have my factory BOV plumbed in. So i plumbed it back up to the intake and it didnt fix the problem at all. The only pipe i havent connected up on the BOV is this little thin one i think its called a 'hot pipe' or something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike.

ensure the bov is connected as it was in the factory setup

without it, it will most likely stall each time.

if its still screwed and your idle sucks you can perform a factory reset to sort out the idle, but you will loose your tune if you do that so get someone to copy it for you before it gets done. but the bov will certainly make it still, incorrect or misconfigured

you said you fitted a bigger turbo , did you also fit a new dump pipe? if so is the o2 sensor in the new pipe, it may also be damaged or blocked, even not plugged in. check all that also.

I had a similar issue but with everything stock - replaced the o2 sensor and hey bingo , no more stalling.

stock bov has 2 things attached to it.

1.) vacuum line (connects to the little nipple on top of the bov). this line can be taken from many places.. try fuel pressure regulator line or one of many other vacuum lines near the plenum.

2.) the PLUMBACK hose.. it is the largish hose that goes from the front of the bov back to the air intake pipe.

you can see the plumback hose in this pic..

Bought my car with a TurboSmart atmo BOV on it. Did the same thing, but only if I pulled up hard with the clutch slammed in and the brake on. Bought a used standard BOV, stuck it on, never looked back =-]

hey guys thanks for the replies, i tried the standard computer last night and it still didnt fix it at all. So it must be something that has been tampered with since the conversion. All I can think of is the o2 sensor and the BOV. Ive plumbed in the BOV but i havent checked the o2sensor.

Is there any way of checking to see if it is working correctly?

I also had to replace the dump pipe so im gonna have a go at stuffing around with the O2 sensor. The O2 sensor seems to be pretty close to the back of the turbo ATM rather than down a little. Could this be a problem?

Thanks for all the replies, Mike.

the 02 sensor will have nothing to do with your stalling. its used for closed loop feedback. if you still dont believe me go and unplug and drive around, nothing will change. it will simply waste a bit of fuel

True that, i drove around knowingly for 30000 kms with a stuffed o2 sensor made no diff when i replaced it!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
