 Share

Recommended Posts

Have just put a blowoff valve on my R33. Its an atmospheric one (not too loud thank christ) but now everytime i pull up at lights etc, it stalls. Why does it do this and how do i fix it???

Please help or the BOV has to go!!!

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.

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

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

Someone told me not having a BOV is bad for your turbo.. is that true?

I thought it was more a case of just having the noise.. and it gets rid of the hotter gasses instead of sending em back through your engine.

    • Slap a 460L into the car, send its mum.  
    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again. 
    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
