yep now where getting somewhere

some of lambos questions answered

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

Yes because the ecu has accounted for that air as being already in the engine

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

No because the would get in when the throttle is re opened and the throttle is never completely closed the motor needs air to burn the fuel

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

Yes and to protect the turbo from spinning backwards in the case of a backfire

Can we fix the Bov so that it comes before the AFM?

Is it even possible?

No the ecu would read the air eneering the engine twice causing a very over rich state

I do not understand how the return BOV works. If it return the excess air back into the intake doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a bov to relief the back pressure from sudden shut of the throttle?

It simply removes the pressure between the throttle butterfly and the turbo outlet on the compressor side of the turbo by putting that pressure on the inlet side between the turbo and the afm

Anyone knows about those return BOV that vent gas back? and the above post also

lambo I’m not quite sure what you mean by this question

Lambo short of replacing the ecu the only fix for the problem is by adjusting the air bypass valve at the back of the inlet as I stated in my post on the first page.

AFM sux? So, you get your fuel for free then? I like AFM's. If you need more power than the one you're using can handle, just get a bigger/better one with more resolution. MAP will almost always use more fuel than AFM with everything else equal.

yeah.... AFM's are the most accurate way of measuring, so youdo get better fuel economy, and there are some cars with good horse power still using AFM's.... I have MAP, and it's not bad, a bit rougher than the AFM, but it's all good :rolleyes:

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
