car has used a ton of fuel ever since i have owned it. tried everything including clean acc valve, clean afm, change o2 sensor and even driving like a grandma which is no fun.

recently my car had a engine problem and seemed like it ws loseing water so i droped it into ice to let them have a look. engine problem was 2 dead coil packs and water was cos i had no coolant left and the water was boiling away.

while the car was there they notice that my stock bov had a leak in the hose so the fixed that up and added all new spark plugs.

OMG i think the bov leak was the culprit. i used to get like 280-300 k's to a tank driving like a grandma and it always ued to idle at like 1200rpm. now im getting 400k's to a tank and a 800-1000rmp idle.

if you are suffering from poor fueld consuption i recomend you look at your bov and the piping connected to it cos this litle fix is going to save me like $20 a week in fuel.

woo

that is all

I had an atmo bov when I got my car, and it sucked just as badly as it does now, with a factory BOV. No leaks, coils are changed (which fixed my missfire), new iridium plugs, afm cleaned etc etc etc....

No joy so far for me! =-[

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
