obn topic, i am running the stock BOVs, with PFC, and a safe tune on it. mine backfires quite a bit. it even throws flames sometimes at high rpm. i believe it is quite safe, it is just running a tiny bit rich.

personally I like a good backfire on a gearchange or decel but " hey" thats just me :yes:

If you find it a problem there are a couple of things you can change on your PFC settings to remove or lessen the effect.

Firstly your accel pump settings are set quite high from factory with the PFC. So any slight blip on the throttle pumps in a fuel but little air. This hits the hot exhaust with the usual pop pop crack sound. You can even "make" it do it on a trailing throttle by tapping the throttle lightly on decel.

Dropping these accel back from the 4 or 5 ms factory down to 2 or 3ms improves things.

Secondly the bottom fuel row settings have a big effect on trailing throttle overrun and can by reduced (carefully) to reduce exhaust popping. The PFC does have fuel cut on overrun I know but these bottom row settings do have an effect.

Cheers,

Mike

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
