R33 Gtst Staling Problem

Hi all this is my situation.

I have a 96 r33 gtst and when driving and coming to a stop and sometimes whilst driving the car will stall.

Whilst sitting at the light after stopping the idle of the car sometimes sits at 1k or 1.2k or even sometimes

after i have started it again it idles at 2k. If i rev it it drops back to normal 700rpm. Im thinking it may be the AFM.

My car has the following mods: cat back exhaust, bov, boost controller, pod filter. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Price for a new airflow meter if that is the problem?

regards

jim

so most probably it has a leak right? or if i can tighten it it will take more pressure to open up.

just a quick question how does the bov controll the idle and stalling. vaccum leaks i guess

No, it wont have a leak. Its just ATMO venting.

The AFM (near your pod) normally has the air re-circ back to it. The ECU expects it to be there and buy installing a pointless Atmo BOV, your sending the ECU into a fit.

To fix the problem for good you have two options.

1. Put the stock BOV back on (less than $100)

2. Purchase some management, pay for a tune (potentially over $1500)

BOV's are a pointless mod, much like pod filters. They offer not performance gain over the OEM gear, if anything they hinder performance

a bandaid fix for it is to get new spark plugs.

spark plugs?? i had the same problem the factory bov (when run in atmo)is held open a little by vaccum from the manifold which basically intoduces a leak into the intake system, the engine is taking in unmetered air, if it is adjustable just tighten it a little other wise vent it back and you shouldnt have a problem.

If it were a factory BOV you wouldn't have aproblem if it were open at idle for letting in unmetered air, as it'd just be allowing the same metered air to travel a different path INTO the engine.

i always thought that it would cancel out due to the air being sucked into the turbo and air being blow out towards the throttle body pipe where the bov is mounted, taking of the bov recirc pipe stuffs the balance and causes air to be drawn in, its just like having a pcv valve connected with a catch tank that is vented, it would cause a vac leak through the rocker cover, thats why near the bov recirc pipe you have the breather for the rocker cover into the intake pipe (near the afmeter) to stop a vac leak to the manifold.

Turbo does nothing at idle.

Air comes in through AFM, through turbo, through throttle, into manifold.

If BOV is open

Air comes through AFM, through turbo (And also through the recirc pipe and comes out just before the throttle) and then into manifold.

Whilst the car is in vacuum. Air is being SUCKED not forced through the intake.

i know air is not forced into the intake lol wrong wording, its not on boost at idle, the suction before and after the turbo cancels out when you have the recircirc pipe connected so no air is being drawn through the bov, put it this way would it be good to have a small hole in the intercooler piping which is wat the bov is basically doing.

If there's a recirc ppipe, then that's like saying, with a hole in the intercooler piping, put an AFM so the ECU knows.

The air, even if the engine is pulling air through the BOV from the recirc pipe, the recirc pipe is still AFTER the AFM, therefore, it's affectively just "changing lanes" but it still went through the toll

no its only there on idle due to the high vacumm, so its sealed under boost, im just saying at idle low rpm with vacumm. Its too hard to explain, its exacltly the same a have a pcv valve with a vented catch tank almost the same thing. By the way Im basing this if the factory bov is run to the atmoshpere, i understand that if it run with a recirc pipe there is no difference it just taking a different path still to the throttle body, i think there was a misunderstanding MBS206

If there's no recirc pipe, that's most likely one of the huge issues.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      I didn't know about induction heaters but checked them out and they look awesome but too pricey for the occasional job like this. And I'm too nervous to take a flame anywhere near there as the petrol tank is so close, although I was intrigued with the crayons suggestion 😁 I filled a coke bottle lid with penetrating fluid and raised it on the jack so the nut was submerged in it all night. Then went in with a tiny cold chisel and got it almost to the point of splitting but not quite (I didn't want to damage the bolt threads). Then I hammered a socket back on and gently worked it until I felt movement. And it's off 😀

      I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
