Just sell the HKS SSQ as atmo bov's always cause problems. If you want sound use the money and buy a pod and put your stock BOV on and dont forget to heat shield the pod. No more stalling and you still keep the sound. its a win-win situation.

atmo bovs cause problems if you dont install them on right.

I have had 3 different atmo bov and have not had a problem with one of them (hks,apexi,blitz)

Michael i think u have a very tolerant R33 which makes you a very lucky man. Many R33 have super sensitive air flow metres. The majority of the skylines dont have atmo bovs i have noticed. I wouldnt mind having a hks ssqv but its 100% atmo but unless ur running a aftermarket ecu or piggyback computer it would cause probs if its not stalling then u'll be running rich az and stuff your cat converter,black smoke out of exhaust and back firing. is it really worth all that i dont think so.

any car that runs a AFM (Skylines!) cannot run Atmospheric wankerized, look at me, whoosh whoosh, fully sick, where are the chicks, Blowoff valves.

The Engine reads air.. Inserts fuel. The Atmospheric blow off valve dumps the air before it gets the the engine.

Put the stock one back on, or get a plumb back BOV.

The other option is to get a Powerfc DJetro with a MAP sensor and then put your spinny twirly whoosh chicks hurricane atmospheric BOV back on, and you'll be fine.

So yeah..

driving style also affects if it stalls or not.

I didnt have a bov for a while... i got used to hitting the accel & clutch at certain times so it didnt stall.

So you might have adjusted your driving style to minimise the problem

is it still stalling? check if there's any wind draft coming out where air is supposed to be released - the fin part. My friend's one was leaking before so we had to open it up and align the black face, the circle one. then just tighten the screws that hold it, after that it was perfect.

It amazes me the amount of people that think they can "fix" a car from stalling with an AFM and atmospheric BOV...

The only way to fix it is to plum it back..

There are a lot of people here that don't have a clue eh?

Yep the mafia explained it nicely. I agree. Hey the mafia you have a awesome Pod set up I remember. If you have pics put them up.

i aslo agree with mafia, if u wanna make w@nk noises buy a wrx fully sic bro

in all seriousness if u want to make ur car run properly u need a plum back (turbosmart make a awesome black stealth 1)

I think this works with most cases....

take off the HKS SSQ, repackage it, and sell it to some WRX owner LOL

then...

go buy a Plump Back BOV of your liking or use the stock one..

too simple !

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
