hey Brad,

this is a known common problem for atmo bov. I have a similar issue with my hks ssqv bov, i found that the return line that goes to the pipe that connects the afm to the turbo was leaking, so everytime i stop it would stall or almost stall. make sure that the return line is block and not leaking. Also does ur bov have any adjustment? as sometimes it can be too loses

Its because your running an AFM. The BOV is venting air thats already been measured so your car is running excessively rich and stalling.

Only way to solve it is to get a MAP based ECU or plumb that sucker back.

negative >_<

im running atmo bov with afm and it works fine :(

i've had 3 different bov with stock ecu no problem...

got a hks ssqv in mine haven't had really any stallin problems if ur driving a manual just change gears faster:P although ma bro in law has a ssqv on his 33 n he said he's had problems when he's like driving 70 it would even stall then

btw wot type is it? as if u have a ssqv they make recirculation kits for them to turn them into plumback:)

Hey mate just pop into Clark rubber and get a rubber chair stopper to block off your return pipe, works like a charm as suggested by someone on the forum. No stalling problem with my hks ssqv only bad thing is petrol has gone down hill haha so stockie might go back on soon when I can be bothered.

Try wind the idle up a little bit, like has been mentioned it's a very common problem with atmo's. The stock ECU is tuned to see the return air and I also think the stock BOV is designed to leak slightly at idle. Most people just wind the idle up to like 1000rpm and it's fine, some people just have non stop problems with them. My car never stalled with the R2D2 but it idles at 900-1000rpm.

My car's a manual. The blow off valve is some cheap chinese copy (yeah i know, serves me right) lol

Will be getting something better like a GFB or TurboSmart etc.

To cut a long story short, the best way to solve the problem is to have a plumb back?

However plumb back does not make the woosh noise?

Its not my idea by the way, my wife wants it to make the noise lol if it is going to cause problems, or premature turbo wear etc ill probably put the stock one back on.

when you install an atmo valve, make sure the return valve is sealed up, and if it's stalling when coming down to idle, try and adjust the valve a bit tighter... that way it will close sooner and it should hopefully fix your problem.

However, if you are giving it crap, you may experience backfiring on gearchanges etc as the car will run rich every time the BOV vents.

It already backfires and pops on hard, high rev gear changes lol

Is there a way to stop it running rich? Running it rich wont kill the engine will it?

While these questions seem dumb, i have never played with skyline engines. I know them very well underneath (Suspension etc) but never done anything under the bonnet lol

mmm ive had a problem like this

the return pipe to the intake pipe has to be blocked off

if the cars still stalling afterwards the revs are to low on idle so you gotta adj it on the back of the plenum which there is a screw

once the idle revs are fixed and car still stalls

your blow off valve spring is shit

and for running rich who cares its fine atleast its not lean and pinging

yeah some bov just dont work lol :pirate:

mate some people have no idea what they are talking about i have an auto skyline first mod ever done on it was an atmo bov (not anymore now plumback) but when i did have it, i bought a turbo smart one which comes with the plug to block the plum back pipe, never had a single problem with it at all... still had stock air box too

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
