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.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
