I have no problem with mine, urs is probably leaking have u checked it?

[twoquik]

i wouldnt know where to start but ill have another look.

[darkstar]

Where did you buy the HKS SSQ From?

[R31Nismoid]

put the stock BOV back on

[Kryostaisis]

loosen it more, the spring is probably set too hard, when you loosen it, give it a rev up and let the car decelerate naturally, if it hesitates loosen more

make sure you have no leaks as mention above.

i had a hks ssqv on my r33 for over a year without a problem. make sure the return line for the stock bov is blocked off and no air is leaking and that u have all the hose connected from the bov

had this problem with my Blitz.

Prick of a problem with open to atmosphere BOV's when you dont have other in-cabin electronics to eliminate the problem.

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..

[LatinR33]

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.

[R31Nismoid]

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

[R33S2]

Yeah go back to stock they work very well and use the hole for an air temp sensor. Have a lookat this thread as well http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=114377

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?

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)

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

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 !

[paulr33]

replace the ssqv with a duck call

should sort the problem out
