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.

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.

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?

      Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?

      Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened.

      Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers
