Hi everyone,

I know there has been plenty of posts on the subject but I just bought a completely standard 94 gtst last week and Ive been hankering for a bit of wanky choof choof sound. So this morning i vented my stock bov to atmosphere, I also plugged up the return hose. Now i have that really cool sound but my car idles up and down between 750-1500rpm. and when I pulled up to a stop the car stalled. I would rather have no sound than my car run rough. If i return it to the way it was will it run normal again or will i have to reset the ecu? If so how do you do this? Do you just disconnect then reconnect the battery? Is this problem common to all skylines?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Should be ok if you just connect to back.

Your car compensates for the extra air that now is not there and so your car runs rich when you back off the throttle...

you can buy the HKS idle stabiliser thingy...or buy a hybrid BOV...

or just get over the wank factor for a whooosh :D

This question has been asked by how many people now????

NO the standard BOV cant be vented to free air and you would probably need a programmable ecu to run the standard one venting to free air.

Turbosmart have a valve that has both a pipe that recirculates the air to keep the ecu happy and at the same time a vent to free air (with trumpet :whackit: ) for the :whackit: wank :whackit: factor that everyone seems to need.

I'd say they'd defect you for it, but you could probably get off the charge later at the RTA. It'll still cost you the $75 charge to clear your name though.

Haven't you ever wished you didn't have a externally vented bov? I often do if I'm travelling in relatively slow traffic. It'd be nice to be able to turn the sound off it you don't want it that day. I'd be switching it all the time.

Rev:

Venting the stocker wouldn't sound too good and as you said give you overfuelling problems. These hybrid bovs are perfect for noise and give you no overfuelling problems. This new one is even better as you can have a break from the noise if you feel like it.

I've got a SAFC, but prefer to use my return pipe to prevent overfuelling rather than the SAFC.

The S-AFC does a good job of correcting if you want atmo venting. The very hot air going back into the intake charge is not doing any favours but, I haven't tried taking the atmo venting track so I'm not sure how significant the power improvement would be without the extra 'hot' air.

after the intercooler and before the turbo. The intake air from the airbox is cooler than the air 'from' the intercooler (although it is much cooler than the turbo to ic air). Hence the air going to the plenum (and out the BOV) is warm/hot air Vs the air going into the turbo.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
