Hey guys I got a 96 S2 Gtst

Just got a Turbosmart supersonic bov and adapter and all was going good for a couple days...

Then just tonight i gave it a few revs standing still n noticed to the revs droped a lil bit lower than usaul then sometimes when i take off then netrual it till i stop it stalls? I have played around with the tension of the Bov as it says to do so but cant seem to find the right spot for it. I dont understand why it doing it now, was ok last couple of days, any thoughts?

Thanks

it happened to me when i got my turbosmart type 2 veeport blowoff valve.

no matter how hard you get the tension it will keep stalling.

if you have a stock computer,then thats the reason it stalls cause the bov vents and the computer is only tuned for the stock bov which re-circulates it.

i ended up putting my stock one back on and no more stalling or you could get a good ecu $1500 and get it tuned for it.

I dont know if you want to stall in the middle of an intersection with a huge semi-trailer heading straight towards you...

Or on a freeway...

Is ur life worth a little "vroom choo?"

One of our family friend died because of that (in his brand new manual Audi, left his wife and children....)

It only stalls when i stop sharply, after ive bin driving for a long time. eg, i went out for a spin last night for a couple hours, all goin good.. then went for sum maccas, pulled into drive thru braked put foot on clutch then stall. then had a lil trouble wif idle, then when back on road again all good.

You do point out a good note thought.

Thats no good jimmytim, sorry to hear that.

All is good now, I made a new gasket for the BOV and sealed it with some gasket goo also, and thorughly cleaned out throtle body etc. Running better than ever now :) Iv tried so hard to make it stall but all is good, and no idle troubles.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
