isn’t 1psi what’s above my head right now? you shouldn’t have to blow through it at all i thought air was 1 psi

Above your head? all air is 1psi? hehehehe Friday night drinky poo's?

jah prolly mean 1bar, the rough sea level atmospheric pressure yes

sorry to bring up an old thread. but ive just disconnected my pcv valve hose and put bungs on either end (inlet manifold) (side of rocker cover) and running 2 lines from breathers to catch can...blocking the pcv cannot do any harm can it? also know since ive blocked the pcv ive noticed alot more blow by comin out the filter in the catch can now... hrmmm...with the pcv hooked up could that somehow drop oil into the exhaust side of the car and blow clouds of oil smoke now and then?

i know this is very old, but saves starting a new thread.

as l0WRB stated,

after fitting rb26 rocker covers i have eliminated the pvc valve on my rb25.

this caused MASSIVE blowby, my catch tank filter had oil smoke pouring out of it..

how do i set up a pcv on rb26 covers on a rb25?

Don't want to start a new thread so im asking here,

Ive had some rough idle and rough running at very light throttle and trying to hunt the issues down, so I notice my PCV valve hose is cracked, the hoses on the rockers I haven't connected to anything and I noticed theres a fairly strong suction happening there,

is it normal to have a strong vacumn coming from the rocker cover hoses?

would having this hose not recirculating be creating a vacumn leak? eg same as an atmo BOV?

Im wondering if the pcv valve might be open creating the vacumn and therefore creating a vacumn leak,

thoughts?

you are correct, the PCV connects to the plenum, similar to any other vacuum hose but the only difference that seals off on boost to prevent boost leaks.

If you have broken hoses on the PCV connections and leaks on your cam/rocker covers it will affect your idle. To get around this just replace the hoses or completely block off the PCV and run a full atmospheric catch can setup.

thanks mate, i think ill seal this PCV valve off to be sure and see what happens, i think this maybe the cause of the car wanting to stall when i quickly come to a stop after a squirt but will have to see .

sounds about right, also are you running a PowerFC?

yep and these issues only popped up when i first did the GT30 upgrade and the rocker covers wernt plumbed back into the intake pipe, so makes sense now :wacko:

if you're having stalling issues after a squirt, there's a menu on the hand controller that allows you to adjust the decel fuel cut off (same page as idle), if you set it a little higher, like around 3k ~4k rpm the motor doesn't hesitate or stall after a good squirt

if anyone's interested:

[Rev. Limit ] レブリミット rpm
[ the F/C A/C オ フ ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns off return rpm of fuel cut
[ the F/C A/C オ ン ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns on return rpm of fuel cut
[ the IDLE A/C オ フ ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns off
[ the IDLE A/C オ ン ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns on

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
