I just installed an atmo bov HKS SSQ, and blocked the return pipe with a nice blue bottle cap.

And now Im having the common stalling issue on my R32

car is stock aside from the obvious bov

I know I can just switch back to stock bov or plumb a return line on the aftermarket HKS

I've read some people dont even get this problem (lucky bastards!!!)

How do I adjust the idle to go higher a little bit?

dont really wanna buy an aftermarket computer right now too much $$$ from buying the car.

I'd give it a few weeks and I'll go back to stock, I just want to enjoy my 1st turbo car but dont wanna stall everytime i press the clutch or stop at lights.

My HKS bov is one of the 1st series that doesnt have the adjustment bolt to tighten the valve/spring.

here's the pics after install

For starters, note that BOV's are illegal - a bastard copper will give you a defect notice on the spot plus a nifty fine if he catches you UNLESS..... you get the drift. Does hide and seek mean anything to you?

And no, sorry, I don't have a HKS SSQ so can't help - I got a Greddy one.. makes the meaniest sound... it's like..... VVVVVVVVVOOOOOO TU TU TUT TUTU UTU... LOL

yeah spunky munky is out on a post count mission im pretty sure,

you will find pretty much any atmo venting bov will give u stall issues on a stock line, best thing to do is put up with the stalling for the three months it will take u to get over the friggen noise then go back to stock haha.

goodluck man :action-smiley-069:

had the same issue with my car, everytime i clutched in or stopped the car. it would stall. but this only hjappened after hard accell. normal driving its fine. i have a PFC and thats the only way i know of putting the revs higher. my revs sit at 1000rpm

as aposed to the normal 800

I had the same problem mate. Mine did get better over time though as it seemed to happen less and less. I had the old style HKS Sequential BOV and I just tightened the screw up more and it seemed to go away. Maybe give that a go?

my SSQ doesnt have the adjustment screw/bolt

Today adjusted the idle speed and it didnt stall all the time only once when it wasnt even boosted...funny

I set the idle to 800-900 rpm and seems to be OK but still stalls

I've read that I can use HKS Electronic Idle Stabiliser to overcome this issue.

Might give that a try...

or the more expensive Apexi SAFC

or just save urself a few bucks and go back the stock bov. the issue is ur venting out the air your afm has already measured and this is making ur car run like crap doesnt matter what u do without some sort of air flow/fuel correction your cars gonna stall and be crap to drive. is it really worth the sound??

as I explained from the 1st post I'd like to have it for a weeks then back to stock BOV

just to experience it, Im pretty sure you did as well with your 1st turbo car...

so enough with going back to stock BOV

i know that already

just wanna try and make the stalling a bit bearable.

Cheers

oh ok then nah worries. yeah i had a blow off valve experienced your probs and took the thing off after 1 hour of having it on. But hey people buy turbo cars for different reasons. Best bet for you would be to buy a cheap safc from ebay it wont make the problem bareable it will fix your prob completely :) good luck.

Having a PFC will FIX the problem,

If you have a PFC and your car still stalling then your TUNER don't know how to TUNE the PFC properly. Apart from that, atmo bov will stall your RB25 as everytime you change gear, the stock ECU will dump a bit of fuel in and now there is no return air, all the suddem your car runs so RICH.

the reason no one ever bothered to solve the problem was that in the end we all realised how pointless it was to try to fix it. You can spend hundreds of dollars trying to solve this problem, buy this and buy that when you can simply solve it for free by putting the stock one back on. For most people, the novelty of the sound wears off after about a couple of weeks and the problem sovlves itself.

I don't know if this will help,but, i read a post a while back about this guy using his stock BOV, and having a vent to atmo. BOV just after the Intercooler pipe. ? you'd have to get a exhaust shop to install it for you and you should be alright. please correct me if I'm wrong.

good luck mate.

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
