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.

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.

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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
