The ricers over here still don't understand why atmospherically-vented BOV's on engines with MAF sensors make them give off a puff of black smoke when they lift to shift. They'd rather have that goofy noise than have their engines run correctly. Shows you where their priorities are at.

You would have to assume that people are aware that if the BOV is changed so it vents to atmo there will be problems. This is because when all that air the MAF has just measured which it thinks is being vented into the intake (after the MAF) but isnt will mean there is less air in the system. As a result it dumps enough fuel into the engine for the vented air and the air coming through the MAF ie there is less air than the computer thinks and it gets too much fuel (floods the engine stalling it).

In short dont go the aftermarket BOV unless you can plumb it back. I am making an adaptor for my SSQV to plumb back so i dont look like a twat and have my car stall at the lights.

Let me know how it works out, cause I'm thinking of getting one, and wanted to know what they are like from someone who actually has one.

I found out that my stock one is leaking.... I took it off, and blew air into it from the inlet and it just leaked through the other side.

Wierd.

its not MAF cars that run rich/overfuel on shift coz of BOV's, its AFM cars isnt it? MAF = mass air flow like what aftermarket ECU's use which *stop* overfuelling from BOVs.

whereas stock cars have plain hotwire Air Flow Meter which overfuels with the atmo bov.

but yeh the point was right that they cause overfuelling.

its luck of the draw tho how bad or watever depending on many factors.

my DR30 skyline has an old Jap bov of some sort, with it D/C there is noticable lag on shift at 1bar boost pressure. with it reconnected there is noticeabley less lag, even tho its slight and mostly see it on slower shifts.

getting a hybrid 600x300x75 cooler installed over the next 2 days along with a Sard R2D2 BOV, so we'll see how that bad boy goes !

romeo - yeh i think u can get electronic BOVs for non turbo cars but ... please dont. lol its so lame. !

roy - ah right yeah i got confused also. pple interchange the terms too much these days. so AFM = Air Flow Meter which is a Mass Air Flow sensor system, whereas MAP is Mass Air Pressure and is just a MAP sensor and has no other name?

how exactly does the MAP not be interupted by a BOV then? wouldnt the pressure drop wen the bov releases and confuse that too? im totaly unsure of the principle behind the MAP sensor so this may be a stupid suggestion but im sure some1 will clear it up for me!

cheers dudes!

'] wouldnt the pressure drop wen the bov releases and confuse that too?

In a brush stroke explanation , when it senses the drop in manifold pressure it guesses that there is a drop in cfm so drops the duty cycle on injectors, (less fuel injected) so doesnt experience the same dramas as AFM equipped cars.

Is the HKS SSQV plumpback or vent to atmosphere?

T.

Vents to atmoshpere only.

I've got one. When I had the standard intercooler and was running standard boost, I hated the sound of it. Sounded like some puncy little train whistle, or a gay guy on Oxford street checking out my ass...

after increasing the boost, it sounds a lot more aggressive and masculine... makes me feel like all 80kg of masculine rice boy. :cheers:

Nah - they're pretty good but as I say, sounds fairly camp at low boost..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
