I have a HKS SSQV atm dump valve and power fc in my rb25det, I'm having problems with the engine stalling when I rev it then push the clutch and let go of the throttle. It often happens in stoplight crossing etc and is really annoying.

Is there any settings in PowerFC I can adjust to make it stable when falling down towards idle? I've tried rising the idle rev up to 1k rpm but it does not help.

Is the only fix to resirk the dumped air back after the maf? I've heard you can tighten the ssqv spring?

So this is something a dyno tuner can fix when they map the powerfc?

what do you mean "get a real bov", it is a genuine HKS SSQV, not a ebay fake. I also bought the resirk kit but have not installed it since because it will be about 1.5meter with 35mm air hose to resirkulate the air back to the inlet after the maf.

#1

map tracer

repeat the stall

then tune those areas it runs across when it stalls

or

#2

get a real bov

#2 is easier

There is a quick, free fix. Put the stock BOV back on.

Thats what Paul means by a real BOV, one thats actually designed for a purpose :D

A tuner can tune out the stalling if they know what they are doing.

2 seconds with the datalogit and i gaurantee no stalling no matter what bov. It is all a matter of catching the idle.... bit of timing tweaking and fuel fiddling and all will be sweet.

Yep reall BOV well one that recirculates or "plumbs back" into the intake after the afm and before the compressor, problem solved, although it can be tuned out aswell but as mentioned recirc is easier

The original GTS25t bov is rumored to leak above 1bar boost, so I bought the HKS ssqv. I have the resirkulation kit but I kinda fell in love with the atm dump sound :D I just got the engine up and running after a complete rebuild so im taking it to a dyno tuner shop next week. I only now how to set up the basic settings in powerfc to make sure it runs on safe AFR values and not leans out.

So then it is settled, I'll let the tuners program powerfc with a laptop and the stalling problem will be solved!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
