Quite some time ago I installed a BOV! It was running all good for some time with the sweet sound of psssssch! Now it is misfiring and lagging as i pump the gas. Petrol comin out of exhaust not so much popping. I checked the intake pipes/ hoses for any cracks n stuff. All seems OK. The funny thing is when the BOV sounds it lags/ misfires and when it doesn't I get a rush of power!

Any suggestions?

sounds like a boost leak, is it doing it only when you hit boost or is misbehaving all the time? if it's all the time then let the engine idle and have a listen for any suspiciouse hissing noises around the intake piping..

if it's only doing it when boosting then chances are the increase in intake pressure is pushing apart one of the hoses in the engine bay, which will be alot harder to find unless you can boost it on a dyno and have a look.. or just burn some rubber with the bonnet up :D

The best thing would be to take off your bov and reinstall the standard plumback bov. The reason you're getting fuel 'pissing' out of your exhaust is that when your afm sees in coming air, it throws in more fuel to burn that air, but that air is going out of your bov, so there's nothing for that fuel to burn, so it goes out of your exhaust/runs rich. I hope that made some sense.

Does your car stall? I assume it would.

I think it's best to just reinstall your plumback bov.

there are plenty of dynoes in perth, cheap hks ssq bovs have been known for some leaks, if u want the nice sound they make buy the genuine one, but i have stock plumback and my car runs like a dream :( sometimes hehe, plumback is way to go with skylines

If it's an atmo bov, chances are it's gonna stall when slowing down or after a rev. If you want to keep the bov, just learn to drive differently so that it doesn't stall. It's that or take it off and put the plumback bov back in.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.
