bov that vent to atmos DONT change air fuel ratios on cars that only have afm ie sky,silvia coz were the factory plum back go to is between turbo and afm. So the afm doesnt register it .2 i built a rb20t in a silvia in qld with a turbosmart type 2 bov for a customor in sydney and he went to the rta to get it tested on emission and it passed with flying colours with the bov type 2 on it remember it goes pod filter afm factory bov inlet pipe turbo

Greygirl1976 what colour is the car that you built that passed the NSW RTA tests? I go down there every two weeks and i would like to see it. My mate is STILL waiting for you to post where S.B.performance is so he can go and look at your conversions. I see you reply to everyone else we want to give you work but we would like to see some of your work before we part with any cash. Want is the guys name or his rego number so i can see his car (the one down south).????????????

Lambo, will try to answer ur questions, but im no expert. (dont even have a turbo car yet)

Does those BOV that vent excess air when the throttle is shut affect the air fuel ratio?

Yes, when the excess air is vented to atmosphere, a similar volume of air is sucked in through the filter, and through the air flow meter. The air flow meter (AFM) tells the engine to inject heaps of fuel to make up for increased volume of air. Therefore AFR goes rich and car puffs smoke and maybe even stalls.

Since the throttle is shut the air getting into the engine should be the same even without the BOV.

Its not the volume of air getting 'to' the engine thats important, but the flow through the AFM. When throttle is shut, no air (little air) is getting to engine. With no blow off valve or with a plumb back type BOV, air is recirculated back into intake, after the AFM, therefore making no difference to AFRs.

Isn't the job of the BOV is to pretect the intake turbine from blow back pressure from shutting the throttle abruptly.

Yes.. and it does. Both plumb back and atmo venting BOVs do this.

Hope that helped,

BLOW OFF VALVES DONT change air fuel ratio coz the blum back is after the afm go and have a look under the bonnet of a skyline turbo and u will see that the blum back is after the AFM .remember the afm only registers air goin one way

even ones that vent to atmosphere it dont change a.f ratio

umm yeah they do, just give up your wrong, k. the air dumps straight out after afm saw it, ecu gives fuel for air that has since been dumped to atmo, hence riching up your mixtures something bad.

u just said it after the afm thats correct so how does the afm register the air when the plum back is after the afm its simple it dont coz its after the air flow meter

air goes throu pod filter throu afm them meets up with plum back pipe is then in to turbo does everyone understand now or do i have to draw u a picture?

greygirl1973 maybe I can explain why raist60 is right,

With a atmo ventventing BOV the Afm has accounted for the fuel going into the motor, but not for it getting dumped to atmo thats why a atmo venting BOV will richen up the mixtures on a throttle release, this is however not harmful for the engine as it only happens for a moment it has been known to cause minor flooding of the engine causeing it to stall.

Mine only stalls if i go about 1-20km/h and slam on the anchors to stop quickly. Stalls maybe 2 times a month tops.

Check out this thread dude... maybe you have this problem if your car stalls when you jump off the gas and onto the brakes. Something to do with the fuel pump ground wire...

hahaha, are we trying to re-write the laws of ECU physics or something here. Just give up man. Please for your sake. We can argue all day long but we are still right, serious dude we arent lying :P

ATMO BOVs make rich A/F ratios when venting... ECU has accounted for air it expects to end up in cylinder so adds fuel for air that has since been expelled through an ATMO BOV. Ie the fuel gets dumped but the air never made it into cylinder therefore higher fuel ratio to air, therefore lower A/F Ratios. Hoora!11

ok time to talk technical

raist60 as u dont understand what im talkin about ive just learnt about this at tafe {yes im a mechanic} ok here goes

all fuel injected cars run lean when u snap the throttle off. The tps tells the ecu to shut off fuel to the injectors only for 1/100th of a second to allow for the excess fuel to burn off in the engine as this is happening the oxygen sensor is reading the exhaust gasses and tells the ecu what is goin on as soon as the o2 sensor sences a weak mixture it tells the ecu to flow more fuel so when a bov vents to atmo or not it discludes that air coz the tps has told the ecu to shut fuel off which in turn runs the engine lean

if u dont beleve me take your car to a automotive workshop and do a test on the gass anailzer with a bov plumed in and a bov venting to atmo u will see it for yourself these computers r allways learning {called fuzzy logic} all fuel ratios r controled by the o2 sencer

But what about the Air Flow Meter? you didn't mention that... and if that plays no part in it, why do we have them?!?!

And why is it that when you see a turbo car with an atmo BOV racing, it blows black smoke on the gear changes?

If the air that is already measured by the air flow meter and the signal is then passed on to the ECU so it can inject the right amount of fuel, then when the air is not there to burn with the fuel as it's been vented, then you'd expect more fuel/less air... richer mixture for that point. Maybe like you say the computer stops the fuel being inject the instant the throttle is closed, but what about the air that was measured before the it was closed?

Yeah, Where is the AFM in your exellent but incorrect (when applied to skylines anyway) explanation?

You may need to go back to tafe and recover the module on efi and fuel mixtures.

ok time to talk technical Are you sure what you said isn't applied to a map type efi only? because what you said dose sound correct for map sensor efi.

To take the point one further, I have perviously fixed the stalling due to overrich with an atmo bov problem by adjusting the air bypass valve at the back of the inlet.

the turbo cars racing blowing a puff of black smoke r soo fuelld up with too much fuel to start off with my car does this and i dont have a bov on my car and as for the afm

it plays its part but when the throttle is snaped shut the computer kinda ignores the afm for an 1/8th of a second coz theres all this fuel in the engine but no air comming in{throttle is shut} so the ecu stuts off the injectors for that 1/8th of a second to burn off the fuel and the air in the plemun chamber then when the o2 sensor senses that the excess fuel has burnt off the o2 sensor tell the ecu that the engine is very lean and turn the injectors back on and at the same time starts talkin to the afm

all the above happens in less than second

if u stick a sniffa up the exhaust and do this as soon as the throttle is snapped shut the anlizer screen spikes to the rich scale about 12to13-1 for 1/8 of a sec then leans out to about 17to18-1 and the scale flattens out back to 15to 14.7to1 this all happens in under a second providing the car isnt runnin rich to start off with all the above happens the same way even with a na motor do u need me to explain more

and im not trying to b a smart ass im trying to help so every 1 can understand what goes on

Mate I run A Link Lambda on my car and before my new ecu it stayed rich for more than 2 sec on back off (blow Off Venting to atmo) on the dyno it run so rich it was off the scale 10:1 and richer.

By what you are saying the ecu ignores the afm for

1/8 of a second well it takes longer than that for a bov to dump to atmo therfore the mixtures could go rich.

it takes 1/8 of a sec for the pressure to build high enough for the bov to open.

most ecu's only sample every 1/8 sec or 125ms

You are not correct with what you are saying Sorry...

and aren't most O2 sensors either hi/low reading??? used mostly for the warm up period? wouldn't you'd need a wide band O2 sensor to read the air/fuel mixes properly... and as these are expensive i wouldn't have thought they'd be a factory item.

thats right they only read between 12 - 14 or so, and only once the motor is hot enough,

A wide band O2 sensor is around the $500 mark

Hey Theres another reason why the ecu cant use the O2 sensor as described by gerygirl1976 the signal would be out of range the factory ecu only uses its signal during cruse mode not throttle on or throttle off.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
