yo

i recently blocked off my bov (not for the muzzer sound, coz my old bov was broken from the bolts), and basically everytime i hit boost and clutch in so it idles, the car will stall

now i think i remember reading up along time ago, that it stalls before the afm gets confused or something coz of the pressure coming out.. others said its because the afm is old..

so could it be my afm giving up or do i how to relocate the AFM

if so, where? i seen alot of people put it on the piping coming from the plenum, what exactly is needed to do this?

eg how much/what type of wiring?

what do i do with the pod? get an adaptor or something?

cheers

i dont have a stock turbo, so it sounds unique (compared to 90% of skylines i have seen)

stock bov just duznt do it for me, i like the blitz ones, but it gets annoying, and i cant stand the hks ssq or whatever... that one that sounds like a budgie getting its head chopped off

also, (and I'm purely guessing here), but wouldn't relocating the AFM anywhere in the intake not solve the problems its causing (given that it is the AFM, and given that it's caused by the air coming out/confused). Even if you have the AFM right before the throttle body, when the throttle closed then there's still going to be airflowing backwards isn't there? As the changes in airflow/pressure occur after the thottle..... right?

I guess if the AFM's old then you could just try swapping it and seeing what happens? You can try mine if you want.

get a Blow off valve..fix your problem...

Then you can install a speaker in your engine bay..that is linked to a Ipod in the car..connect it to your clutch pedal.

You can have...cows moowing...

Cats meowingggg.

Dogggssss barking......

and chickens (I don't know what they do).....

and oh..monkeys..doing sounds like monkeys do..LOL

Change the tune everyday......it will be great for laughs

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
