I think my atmo BOV might be causing the car to stall every now and then due to it leaking,

is it possible for the BOV to get dirt, etc in it that will cause it to close the valve

slower after blowing off pressure during a gear change.

I've tried to tighten the adjustment screw but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I've taken the BOV off and tested the spring pressure by pushing on it and it has quite a

bit off tension behind it.

A BOV can seize after a while due to all the carbon and shit that gets in it, but I dont think this will cause your car to stall. Your more likely to stall if your BOV is venting to atmosphere and tricking your AFM.

Plumb back your BOV, your car will run smoother with no stalls.

Happens even now and then after taken it out of gear, then braking for a red light, etc.

I was under the bonnet the other day and rev'd the car up a few times to see if the BOV

was closing properly. It didn't open and close straight away, it opened ok but closed in pulses instead

of one continuous movement.

??

do you have a type 2 turbo smart?

also check the size of the houses connected to the blow off..

the line from the blow off to the turbo should have a small hole, maybe try valving it or whatever...

but yeh thats all i can think of!

Its an atmo BOV, all plumback lines have been blocked up.

How is having it to tight making it pulse?

Because the spring tension is too much for the boost to release in one go. Back the adjustment off a turn or two and it wont pulse, but then if it leaks on boost you may have to tighten it a touch

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
