Problems After Installing A Bov

[Lady_Woogy]

Hey all.

i installed a drift bov today with plumb back or atmo i could choose either way but i choose atmo..

Since then its been running like crappolia..

Is there anything like a cpu upgrade or soemthing to fix the problem?Or is it just something i have to deal with

thanks

If its venting to atmo then you will run rich and your car will occasionally stall. Atmo BOVs on Skylines can be a bad mix. You can fix it up, DAFS.

happens to most people who install the atmosphere venting bov's. After a while you will learn how to adjust your driving so it doesn't stall. All i do is blip the throtle when coming to a stop ect. Do a search on the forum about this, been covered alot of times, you may find some use full tips.

Unfortunately blow off valves and skylines as some other member explained are not a good mix. I even use to have a GFB stealth that you get to adjust how much air is vented and how much is kept and car still didnt feel the same and idle was terrible. I know its not what you want to hear but if you want to have a car that runs well then install your stock bov.

i still have my stock plumback on my s1, no problems as in running, sometimes when letting clutch out a little to move forward in places like drive through with a little bit of throttle then go to put brakr on and clutch in cars idle does drop to close to a stall but then picks up again, only problem i have in regards to stalling hope this helps

Stalling when having a atmo bov installed is a really common thing. The reason it happens is because the afm detects the air going into the engine and puts more fuel in to burn the air, but the air is not getting into the combustion chamber, it's going out of the bov. I hope that made some sense.

As far as I know, it's something you just have to deal with if you're got a bov installed.

I dont have a prob with my GHB vented !plum back feels a little smoother thru the gears ,thats all to me

[Rob_C110GTR]

HKS EIDS helps maybe try that, otherwise those excee AFCs if you're planning on modding your car more

[Lady_Woogy]

thanks for the help

[Rob_C110GTR]

some people here adjust the idle just a little higher than stock, others just learn how to drive them like when you're about to stop change gear or clutch in when the idle is near idle speed. Or you rev it a little before you stop.

Mines odd cant say ive encountered any problems with my turbosmart - never stalled, drive it the same as before.

[FordyR31]

The main issue with atmospheric BOV's is the AFM... Once air has gone past that it is accounted for by the computer, any difference an atmospheric BOV will cause means there is air accounted for, but not being used. With MAP sensor its a different story as it reads manifold pressures not airflow before the turbo. With the plumb back system the air goes back through the turbo or the afm keeping it all in the circuit of the airflow so the ecu can adjust according to the afm readings. Some cars just handle it better than others, my mates 32 used to be perfectly fine with big turbosmart BOV's but my mates 33 would stall all the time with a Blitz one and then the HKS one.

LMAO at getting aftermarket ECU and similar just so you can have psshhtt

it's just not worth it ey.

[SK1LNE]

mine was venting to atmo in an auto and it was a pain in the arse.

sure i could drive blipping the throttle when stopping but in the end took it back off!!!!

[Green_s13]

it is odd i have never had a problem with mine, it is possible that your BOV is not adjusted properly.

[Rob_C110GTR]

mine has not stalled ever since I installed the HKS EIDS

but still you'll get the running rich on gear change

Maybe you have an aftermarket ecu to handle the loss of air from the bov?
