and i currently have one on my RB25 with stock ecu and AFM and on both HARD and SOFT settings it works fine. never has my car idled funny or stalled. When on the SOFT setting, exhaust pops and farts a bit much though. very reliable BOV though :laugh:

holy shit, did you do a search?

This topic is covered about 10 times day.

But To sum it up - You have an AFM. Put an Atmospheric BOV on there to try and sound cool and you won't because your car is stalling all the time.

holy shit, did you read any of the replies?

seems that there are a few people with them that aren't having problems.

Yeah this guy up here has the factory BOV and a Blitz bov at the same time, and stalls all the time and runs heaps rich, nice pops on gear changes :whistling:. He just wont believe me when i tell him get rid of the atmo bov. But the best part is, he reckons it gives him like 15rwkw having 2 bovs hahaha.

BTW sorry for the hijack

peace

a few vs about 5,000,000 that have problems

its pretty straight forward what happens. Your car runs like crap because a atmo BOV is not suited for cars that run a AFM.

Oh, and yeah, my comment about searching still stands, because there is 11 millions threads about this. They even have replies from people that claim to have it working properly!

yep, aftermarket management will let you run a vent to atmo bov...

stock ecu fuels for re-circ air from stock bov, when no air due to venting to atmo you get that shiz fart/pop from overfueling ie mega rich fuel into hot front + cat = pop, no cat = flames out of exhuast

according to what I have READ !!! ps my nfo is not 100% as i have not done it, i like re-circ due to coppers having an issue with compressed air release coming from something on 4 wheels or its too loud, which ever they choose to use. yes... both are absolute bullshit but meh.... game on

Nope - I'm running a Powerfc and it still does it.

Its not the ECU - Its the AFM that causes the problem.

It measures the air, the ECU puts in fuel to match, and then the BOV leaks it on idle. (because since the Plenum is on vacuum on idle, its enough to pull the BOV open a little bit) and yeah, air leak.

Hence the rough running.

Hey guys just thought I'd add my experience. . . '95 R33, had a Turbosmart vee port on it when I got the car, ran very rich & sluggish on gear changes, stalled on hill starts, rolling up to red lights etc. . . changed for a stock BOV and have not stalled it since ~ 4 months ago.

On the turbosmart website you can find instructions for PROPER adjustment of the BOV, which will help a bit.

Anyone wanna buy a Vee port? :)

Cheers

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
