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

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
