Just Installed Deceptor Bov

Hi all,

A mate of mine and I recently installed a GFB Deceptor Pro BOV into my 98' R33 Skyline. But I've enoticed a few things differnet about the handling as well as a few problems.

We secured the valve on tight but it was a stretch for the plumb back hose to fit the new BOV as its a little nozzle is a little higher than the factory BOV's nozzle.

What I'v noticed is when the car is at idle the boost pressure gauge reads about -3. When the factory bov was on it was always reading -7 constantly. I can also hear a small constant pssssssssss coming from around the area of the BOV but dont know where exactly. Could this mean a leak somewhere? Or is that meant to happen?

Another thing thats been happening is that the car will stall sometimes. Pretty rarely but still sometimes regardless if the air is flowing through plumb back or atmo.

I did what GFB said and gave the BOV cap a few turns clockwise but still seem to have a few issues. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thx

This is the first mod I've got on the car, rest is bone stock. Got X-Force exhaust and Apexi Cold Air intake coming in 2 weeks.

It came with a flange and a small black O ring inside of the Deceptor BOV. When I took off the factory BOV there was a weird thin black (seal?) but it was pretty stiff. GFB said not to use that in the instruction manual but now I'm not so sure. Do you think not having that black thing there is causing the leak?

I recently put a GFB deceptor on my 34 it said to use the thin black gasket, the plumb back hose is a bit of a stretch but it just fits on. Since mine has been on I have had no problems with stalling and im running at 3/4 atmo. Every now and then im getting the odd backfire between gear changes below 3,000RPM I think it might be the spring rate i'll have to have a play with it.

Oh well I put the gasket back on and its not stalling anymore. Seems like its all good.

But the only thing i've noticed is that the boost guage reads about -5 or so at idle. With the stock BOV it was -7 just about always.

Is this a big deal? What would cause it to increase pressure at idle?

i know the stock bov recirulates air at idle. i get a slight differnce in vacuum reading depending on whether the car is cold or not. when it is cold and in cold start mode vaccum is a bit less as it is reving a bit higher. to see if the bov is leaking through the plunger put it to full atmo mode. then look see what it does.

also does it have a tension spring? might be worth tightening if it does.

Yup has a tension spring. I've tightened it a fair bit so the blow off sound is fairly quick rather than gradually getting softer. Might loosen it a little.

Tried at full atmo last night and was at the same boost level at idle. around -5 or so. At least no stalling. But I think I can hear a small constant psssssss coming from near the valve still. Even with the gasket on and in place.

Yeah gonna give that a shot again tongiht.

Its usually more uphil from my way back home from work and I just tested a theory tongiht thats going to get a lot of people going WTF? I know it did for me.

With the BOV opened or closed only when going up hill and then wanting to turn left does the engine stall. Tested it 3 times and all 3 times it stalled.

I'm lost.

So it's been over 2 years since you put this BOV on...

How are things now???... ...I've been thinking of getting a GFB Deceptor Pro for my '95 33... ...Just because that's what I want as my next mod... ...and being able to control it from the dash is geeky... :unsure:

Over $700 just for a bov, a little bit ridiculous imo.

I used to have the one below that from GFB the stealth fx, basically the same just not electronically controlled from the dash.

Never hand any problems with it, sounded great.

But now i run a stock one cause im cool :ninja: .

I really don't have anything flashy on my car... ...and I need to use it for work everyday... ...and my dad is a cop so the quick adjustment would be really good when I head over for sunday dinner...

Plus I'm a bit of a tech geek... ...and it looks like it would be fun to play with... :ninja:

The standard units are very good. They may develop some leaking issues due to old age and grime ingress. Clean them and they work 99% of the time. For very high boost you can perform some simple mods to them (gtst BOV) . GTR units are absolutely fantastic.

But, if you need to go 'Pachoo pachoo' noise I guess you have to change the stocker. I'm sure most people now equate that noise with peice of crap cars with no go (99% of ricey slow street cars opt for this noise) I know I do. So I'm not sure about the attraction, your car is more likely to encounter minor tune issues and go slower, there is no increase in performance EVER over a stock unit in good nik.

As mentioned there is most likely a small leak somewhere. No gasket is a dead set leak fest.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.
