Hunting Then Stalling Delema After Getting Back From Mechanics

I have just had the worst two days of my 1 month affair with this car....I am going to save the sob story and get to the current issue at hand though. I just picked it up from mechanics workshop after trying (failed) to fit a Exhaust manifold and successfully fitting the Front/Dump pipe, before the car went in it was running sweet, now I get it back on the drive home (A) it overheated (they came to where I had pulled over and filled up the Radiator) (B) it stalled at the lights and won't idle properly seems to be hunting.

I have cleaned the AAC valve and the AFM, reset the ECU, they did say the BOV was hooked up wrong and hooked it up as you see in the pictures, can anyone tell me if I'm missing something apart from I got shafted.....

Should I remove the bleed valve and put the standard solinoid back into action, it is Brand new aswell.

Can anyone tell from these pics if it's all hooked up ok?

Any help appreciated :)

ouch. take it to someone else who knows what they're doing - although in cairns your options might be limited.

i would be spitting chips if my car came back from the mechanics with serious problems.

I have just removed the bleed valve from the setup and it's almost solved the problem, no more hunting on first startup of engine but it did however seem to drop to low a revs when I gave it a bit then pulled up quick with the clutch in...

But how do I plumb the boost controller in anyone?

I know one end goes to the waistegate actuator and the other goes to the nipple on the stock cast piping but what do I do with the two hoses hanging off the existing Solenoid am I supposed to use a T piece and plumb one of the hoses into it aswell and block the other one?

Sounds like a leak somwhere. check that all your hoses are connected. it can be somthing just as simple as the bov line not sealing properly or an idle control line.

Also was the bov working ok before you took it in.....it looks like the presure line to it should be going in the top inlet/outlet and not the side.

Do you remeber how it was hooked up before? ill have a look for some fitting diagrams for the type RS bovs and post up the results for you :)

Thanks andrew yes I have been crawling all over it looking/listening for leaks. The BOV is hooked up differently the mechanic said it was incorrect? It sounds louder now though with more of a sqeak noise than a woosh when it goes off, there is no other pipes into it only the one at front, that piece you see at the top is a thread with a nut looks like it keeps it all together? The pipe going into the BOV used to be routed back to a T piece somewhere just before the feed to the waistegate actuator I think.

Not sure about the boost controller mine only has 1 hose that uses a T piece to connect it to the actuator....But mine is a manual controller.

Yours sounds a bit more fancy than mine.

This looks almost identical to my BOV http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Type-RS-Bov...2QQcmdZViewItem

It shows a T-Piece in the kit, mine is now not using a T-Piece at all, I think it did have before it went to the mechanics and they just removed it and put it straight into the intake plenum. does anyone have an install diagram for this type of BOV?

Mine is just a cheap Turbosmart manual bleed valve too, you can see it lying side ways in one of the pics, the outlet side goes to the Actuator and I'm not really sure where to get the input side from, I thought it was from the little nipple on side of piping but then what do I do with the piping going to the existing solenoid just plug it up?

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
