Jesus, there's some real BS being posted in this thread. Brad - do a search for this topic, its been covered a million times before by more knowledgable people :|

Yeah i tried that but could not find anything overly helpful.

I think i understand what makes more sense and what i need to do.

Thanks all for your info and thoughts.

Would prefer this didnt turn into a "who knows more thread" as we all know how they end up.

Cheers

this link will help~~ it's info is accurate...the spring in your BOV is probably too soft which opens up too readily under the slightest pressure.

Vacuum from the plenum "sucks" the spring up opening the valve if your spring is too soft a lot of air is vented hence the stalling.

The AFM reads off a certain amount of air going into the engine and inject the specific quantity of fuel. However when the BOV vents off too much air there won't be enough air for combustion. that's when it stalls.

Depending on your BOV model, there's should be some sort of "dial" to adjust the spring...otherwise get a new spring? or BOV?

while it is true that BOV is usually better used in MAP system since MAP sensor sits after the BOV, if adjusted correctly (does not vents too much air) it should also be able to be used in AFM system.

Just to add my 2c. . .

My R33, manual, had a Turbosmart Vee port on it when I got it. stalled at idle, popped and banged pretty bad, and was quite sluggish on gear changes.

Went to the Turbosmart website and got instructions to adjust it correctly. still not great. . .

Put a stocker back on, much better, no stalling, smoother idle, faster on changes with less BANG. . . definately runs better all the time

Also with a FMIC, Aluminium piping and a K&N Pod the stocker is very noisy anyways. . .

Want to buy a Vee port? :D

Cheers

I have a GFB Bovus Maximus... it didn't stall it just pop twiced @ higher revz... Blocked off the return pipe for the plumback and it reduced it... Rarely stalls and stalled once during a really cold morning.. it was wierd. My car was idling pretty higher than usual for a while about 1k to 800rpm then after a while it dropped to 650rpm... this is with the Stock ECU.

I don't know if there is any Perfomance benefits.. but i am hearing noises i haven't heard b4 like the Pod which sounds like it's fluttering.. @ very Low Rev changes...

Gettn PowerFC Tuned very soon.. should sort out my Big Bang Issue when i'm Givin it some :D

LOL i agree lots of BS here!!!

:)

well my 5c

ermm from what i heard / raced.. lol BOV dont offer no proformance... so only change if ur running more then 14PSI? stock BOV leaks.

anyways u get a flutter noise through ur POD...

oh and yeah i raced many guyz wif ato BOV, and yeah they seem to l00se a bit of power/torque i can power n pull past em.

LAWL does BOV do damage to ya engine???

and after all AFM does count that air your car PSTTTTT out.. so thats why u get rough idles :S

Want to buy a Vee port? :action-smiley-069:

I have the vee port on mine and it has no issues at all...popping or stalling.

I could be interested in buying it as the one i have is shall we say "at the lower end of the quality scale" lol

Check to see if your current atmo bov has a spring tension adjuster on it...and wind it in. I had a blitz on my S15 that would do the exact same thing...stall when pulling up to lights, or pushing in the clutch when driving along. Wound the tensioner in and it solved all the problems. The only problem from the atmo bov was overfueling.

I also have Turbosmart Veeport. Have used it on a B6 Mazda turbo motor, a RB20, a 1JZ and a RB25 and had no dramas with stalling at all. excellent blow off valve and not the annoying PSHHHHHHHH when driving around town, unless you feed lotsa boost through it.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
