Hey

I have a GTST series 2 R33 and i want to change the BOV because its not loud enough for my liking! but i dont wanna get defected either.... is there anything that i can change it to to make it louder? or am i stuck wid the standered one? What have you guys and girls done? anything that is a direct swap over of the standered one?

Cheers

We are in SA, so yes, it is illegal to have one Adz.

You need a retune if you disconnect your stock BOV apparently to reconfigure your idle.

The Atmo one will go where your stock one is with a flange that migth have come with your BOV if it was specific to our car. I am getting an adaptor made up for my Blitz SS BOV to go where the stock one is cause I want something a bit stronger and stainless in the stock ones place.

You will find if you block your stock one up (Thread in DIY section) then you will notice the car will stall when you approach lights, in parking areas, etc etc. So the only thing that fixed this is a AFC or a ECU apparently.

And yes, under normal driving if you do it without a retune, you will notice some fully sik woosh woosh action. lol. :)

Yeh, like he said, you will need a retune, it might not be too bad (the stalling) as with my bov blocked off it would stall maybe once a day. Best bet if u don't want a bov but you want sound is to go a mesh pod. Go a DRIFT pod or similar, just make sure the element is pretty thin and it will be loud enough

you underestimate the stalling my friend... it is possible to happen ANYTIME you stop, if you dont have ur foot over accelerator as you brake your f**ked, trust me lol.

It'll hunt for AFR like a c**t, go up and down the revs like crazy then if u dont balance it out with the accelerator ur stuffed, can happen anywhere, even while you are moving downhill, put it in to nuetral to double clutch cause ur synchros are screwed then the car stalls as you are rolling at 70km/h...

you need a retune if you remove the stock bov, and then the new bov u get needs to be tuned too...

ADAM, a vent to atmo BOV is one that VENTS TO ATMOSPHERE, ie, has a little trumpet or filter or whatever is aftermarket these days are pretty much all vent to atmosphere, thats the valve that creates the phshhhhhhht noise. k thnx bye lol.

I have just removed a turbo smart vee port BOV from my stock ecu'd r33. Stalling ??? not once in the severals weeks i had it on there....

The only thing i noticed having a atmo BOV on my r33 was a little bit of back fire upon gear shifts sometimes.. Did not sound bad at all.

And the little puff of black (barely noticable) when boosting @ 10 psi and gear change..

The reason I removed it is cause i wasn't a big fan of the noise.

I don't quite understand.. I don't doubt whether it would or not, but WHY would and aftermarket bov make you stall on idle?

Also, is there many aftermarket bov's that give better performance but don't make more noise?

the smoke and backfire is from putting too much fuel into the system... the car computer reads a lot of air rushing along (before BOV) and when you put the pedal down, adds fuel to the mix... if all that air is out in the atmosphere, it takes a second for the right amount of air to get to the block... if its recirculating, then there is a lot of air in there already, ready to go into the block...

I don't quite understand.. I don't doubt whether it would or not, but WHY would and aftermarket bov make you stall on idle?

runs your car too rich and it stalls... Im not certain, but i think cars that are having this problem should go get a tune...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
