i have bought a turbosmart type2 veeport bov and installed it on my skyline.

now my car keeps stalling and ive followed the instruction and tightened the spring but it still stalls,we have checked over it and theres no leaks,no blockages and no collapsed or twisted hose.

i got the spring as tight as it could go and it still stalled so i ended up taking it off and put the factory part back on and it runs perfect and doesnt stall and now i have wasted $400 on the adapter and bov.

im confused to why it stalls,hope yous can help me out.

The car is overfuelling due to the ATMO BOV.

The car expects the re-circ BOV to be there, its tuned for it.

Hence when you put it back it works fine.

So you have two choices.

Get a ECU & tune it ($1500)

Or go back to the stock one... which is is how Nissan intended it to be :D

Nothing wrong with the stock BOV so not really sure why you would want to change it anyhow.

thanks for the info.

im having the same problem with my turbosmart BOV but i have set it up so its set to recirc and its still stalling i have no idea whats goin on with it and im looking at being in the same boat as blitz becuz im gunna have to put the stocker back on or get an aftermarket ecu and tune (better start saving lol)

installing a HKS Fuel Cut Defender should override this problem? i think.

i experienced the same with my Blitz. I didnt mind the stalling every now and then, but i removed it to avoid the boys in blue.

The stock one does its job well enough!

as previously mentioned.. maybe investigate if you can adapt that BOV back to a plumb back .

also vac leaks can be quite hard to track down .. make sure you look for cracks at the places where other pipes join the inlet ( if there are any )

to be honest I was really impressed by the stock recirc valve on the rb25det NEO .. looked very well made! and at least if you have a recirc BOV the boys in blue have got one less thing to bend you over for !

and if you have a pod you should still hear the BOV noise.

ive heard alot of specualtion, but how much boost can a standard r32 gtst bov handle?

has anyone had a problem running 17-18 psi thru one?

im ready to put my stocka back on and see if it helps with the stalling..

From what I've read on SAU, the standard 32 gtst bov can handle about 14psi before it starts to leak if I remember correctly. If you want to run the standard plumb back system, I think you can just get the GTR's bov and put it in its place. They handle up to about 20-ish psi.

Feel free to correct me.

Its wierd mine has worked fine on the car and it has never stalled. Might change it back just cos it gets annoying sometimes. Did you make sure you used the gasket between the bov and the intake pipe?

My tuner told me this as well that the reason the car will stall is because it has a AFM system, he said it I want to do it properly I need to delete that system, he said I can try it though to see how it goes. My BOV recirculates btw (can hear flutter sometimes though), how do s15's and stuff not stall and they also have the AFM system? I was considering blocking it off for ovbious reasons but was hesistant because of the above.

By changing to a Halaltech and not having an AFM, typically. Or, they stall or otherwise carry on.

A lot of them are driven by p platers with stock ecu's lol. When does the stalling usually happen is it high speeds?

If you block off the BOV entirely you will get reversion out of the MAF and get a lean spike instead of a rich spike as the MAF double-counts the airflow.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
