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!

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
