Hi guys.

I have a couple issues with my 33, mainly if im creeping forward in traffic and jab it for a sec, when returning to idle it drops very low and nearly stalls, has actually stalled a couple times.

Now when I got the car a month or so ago it had an Atmo BOV on it and I believe that is whats causing the issue here, inthat its dumping air that its already factored in to be fueled so it overfuels for a second, runs rich and nearly dies.

I must say, I do like the psssh sound but.

Anyway, im wondering if there are alternatives out there, or is it possible to adjust the BOV to not vent so easily, so its only blowing off under decent levels of presure? Or am Is my best bet to buy an aftermarket plumb back BOV and go without the Pssh.

Or as another option is there a way to trick the ECU to stop this occuring?

Advice is apreciated.

my plumb-back is just as loud, if not louder, than alot of Atmo BOV's i've heard... (assuming you have a Pod Filter as well)

it's a GReddy Type S.

the stock BOV is also quite loud, and works just as good... can pick them up for around $30 or less, so just pick one up, sell the atmo bov, and you'll have a car that's running better, will still sound tough, and you'll make money from selling the atmo one :(

Lachlan33- try tightening the spring tension, and possibly get some new plugs. i had a few mates with the same issue. new plugs solved it.

[mez]- i had the problem where it would die after giving it a bit on the stock bov. new plugs fixed that.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
