I have the same problem. The guy who had the car before me put on a huge SARD dumpvalve and removed the re-circ system. Due to the dumpvalve being rusty etc the car now wants to stall when i come to a standstill and have to give it a small blip on the throttle to sort it.

No dumpvalve wont do your turbos any favours.

u made the same mistake i did, everytime i lift off the throttle the RPMs would drop so low that it would stall everytime i clutch in.

this is caused by a blocked BOV or no BOV at all. plump it back or let it vent properly and ur probz are solved

the car was tuned when i had a bov, i like the extra throttle repsonse i get from having no bov so i'm getting a tune soon and hopefully that will fix it, garret also proved that bov's do very little to prolong the life of a turbo.

Dont understand how you get extra throttle response.......Do you know what bov suppose to do.

Lol whatever, i have a BOV venting to atmo that is working 100% and i have the same problem. Though it happens very rarely. FWIW it never happened before i fitted the BOV.

Cars that use an AFM need a properly recirculating blow off valve to run properly, there are heaps of tricks to get around this, but they are all bandaids. There is no dowmside to doing it the way the factory does it, except you lose the "wank" factor.

Driving style is but one of the tricks that can counteract it :P

As above with the tricks :sleep:

Ways around it, but best to go with the OEM equipment (or GTR items if you need to)

I would say get the car tuned with no BOV or put one on there for now until you get it retuned, and to be frank you will find with a Plumb back you will find the turbo will spool quicker because it doesnt have to argue with air comming back at it, try it see how well you speak with air being rammed down your Throat. It works trust me :sleep:

Is say theres a lot of "thinking" in this thread. Ash, get the car tuned and ignore most of the advice here....

Ever seen the 180's that Nissan never fitted bov's to...or did they just make thousands of factory defects? :dry:

it does need a tune, i've been meaning to get one for a while but i don't want to get one until i get my cams and valve springs installed.

Also to the guys who are bagging the idea of not having one on there just try it and then tell me if you don't notice the difference, also as i mentioned earlier they do not prolong turbo life as proved by garrett.

Quote Garrett

'The Blow-Off valve (BOV) is a pressure relief device on the intake tract to prevent the turbo’s compressor from going into surge. The BOV should be installed between the compressor discharge and the throttle body, preferably downstream of the charge air cooler (if equipped). When the throttle is closed rapidly, the airflow is quickly reduced, causing flow instability and pressure fluctuations. These rapidly cycling pressure fluctuations are the audible evidence of surge. Surge can eventually lead to thrust bearing failure due to the high loads associated with it.'

I've had this problem since I've had my car, I've just always blipped the throttle before it stalled.

For what it's worth, these are the things I have replaced for other reasons - Not to solve this issue, however mabye it will cancel some things out;

R32GTST, Stock internalsm stock BOV

Fuel Pump (Bosch 044)

AFM (standard R32 Green label)

RB25 Turbo

Splitfire Coil Packs

Cleaned Air Regulator

Spark Plugs

Fuel Filter

Maybe my BOV is blocked, I'll clean all that out tonight when I am chasing my boost leak

I do. :)

A bov is there for emissions and drivability. It hurts response as the turbo must refill the fmic and its pipework.

You obviously haven't tried no bov?

IF what garrett state *causes thrust bearing failure* a mate of mines VLT wouldn't have cracked 200,000km's on its STOCK JOURNAL bearing turbo while pushing 12-13psi for many years prior.

Ash,

Your going to have to do what Sinista has done, lengthen the afm to turbo pipe. OR step the size up to a 4" 90degreeish bend. Only way your going to get around it. :banana:

Shaun also recommends no bov; get him to tune it out, he may also recommend the inlet pipe mod.

Also..... Does your AFM still run its mesh? This helps prevent stalls also *in my experience*.

I do. :thumbsup:

hopefully shaun can tune it out as i can't really lengthen my pipe if i wanna keep the standard airbox. The afm is missing mesh on one side (was like this when i bought it)

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
