hey i just bought replica rs bov, for my '96 r33 skyline, and i put it in last nit at my mates, we drilled new holes onto the stock cross over piping, exactly wer the stock bov goes, and mounted it there with know problems and no leaks!

took for a few runs, adjust the hardness & softness of the new bov.. got it about rit..

so i drove home fine!

the only thing that i noticed was that wen down gear and clutch was all the way in, and i didnt release it, the revs would drop from 1500rpms to bout 100rpms, but didnt stall, and den went back up to normal idle revs, lik 500-600rpms...

PROBLEM:

so i got in my car dis morin, drove to my other mates place, who lives bout 2ks away, and was all fine!

then wen i left i got to bout 2000rpm, and it felt like it was bunny hopping! or sumthing??

MY MODS:

i just got a new (afc)apexi neo fitted and tuned,(at 500rpm/1000rpm my correction is -8%. etc..)

front mount intecooler, splitfire coilpacks, re-gapped .6mm spark-plugs,

turbo-tech boost controller/bleed valve, HKS 3" cat-back exhaust.

IDEAS:

new bov needs to tighten(all the way to hard setting)??

afc correction to lean?needs to be adjusted..???

afm??how often do these r33 afm fail, go fautly??

on the back of the bov's there a vac. line that connects to the intake manifold,

should this pipe be a certain min/max diameter, length? if so how long and thick?

any ideas would help...

atmo bov's do that...leaks boost as u start to make it so drives like a b!tch....and revs go nuts wen u pull up at lights. look at ur bosot gauge and tacho and u know wat we mean...climbs n drops..climbs n drops...its tryna compensate for the leak

I'm putting my money on leak, I have had intercooler piping come off many a times, and anytime you try and put any sort of power down, it feels like it's bunny hopping...

Check your piping and schtuff :thumbsup:

a leak u reckon? best way to find a leak then????

wat bot:

on the back of the bov's there a vac. line that connects to the intake manifold,

should this pipe be a certain min/max diameter, length? if so how long and thick?

would that make diff?

if it is doing it when you accelerate then you have a problem that. whether the bov is atmo or not shouldn't make a difference during acceleration, unless the bov isn't closing properly.

now the bunny hoping you are talking about, is it bad like a leaner driver, or is it more of a missifre? the fact that you are running 0.6mm gap plugs with splitfire coils worries me. do you have to run the gap that small to have it not missfire? if you do then you have a serious problem with the splitfires.

yeah, it happen wen i accelerate, and was only in first, and yeah, hit just over 2000rpm and yeah..started hoping!

i think i put it in second and it did it aswell round the same rpm..

now wat u mean by..

"bad like a leaner driver"

well my plugs + coilpacks r fine

and its similar to misfire..but feel liks no fuel..

fuel pump? afm?

i have no clue ay..

sorry, cant remember, it was early dis morin wen it happin..and i didnt have time to have a good look..

i tried turning down the valve to make it harder..but no good..

mit turn it all the way down..

but as for driving im pretty sure i was and had my foot down lik a normal driver, dont think my foot-slip or i was back-off or anythin..

i was just driving...lol

Yeah, wen i put my foot done it didnt pass 2 to 2.5k as i mention earlier..

it struggled for some reason..

but i did find my problem..

something 2 do with my apexi afc/neo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i reset it and it drove fine..

well....it uses more fuel now..lol

so i adjusted the air-map myself just on low throttle. and seems to be if not better than before!

the first place i got my tune done, and the at the same time got my apexi NEO fitted..

they didnt change/adjust the DEC AIR or the THROTTLE %..

so i really just changed those..

and my low-throttle from 1,2,,4,5,6,7 and i curved the map..

at 3000rpm i left it 0%(so no changes) coz that wen boost kicks in..well round der..lol

and i dont want to lean it out der.

so i gota get a re-tune and coz it using a bit of fuel..

but has anyone got AIR MAP details?

im gona start-up another topic to c wat people setting ther afc air map set at...

Edited by bumble_bee

so.. i took ma car to speedworks in perth, they re-tuned ma afc..

it was oxygen sensor that was playin up!!

so they dis-connected it..and did the tune wit out it

doesnt stall at all anymore! and drives beta!!!

just still uses a bit of fuel..

thank god i work for nissan, and ive already got and put in the new o2 sensor..

but my 33 still chug's fuel..

speedwork had a hell different air map settings than ovaboost..

so i wondering, whould tuning an afc with the o2 sensor connected they re-connecting a new, make any difference?

or would u need a re-tune..???

Sounds like your mixtures were out and the cars gone into limp mode to try make it through the rest of the day. Should of got it tuned properly ages ago...

Mate your cars driving crap because of the style of BOV you've got. Excess air is vented to the atmosphere and not back into the engine (i.e. plumbback). The ECU has measured the amount of air coming into the system through the AFM and is ready to control the a/f ratios but as the excess air is simply vented out of the closed loop the ECU has simply lost it and mixtures are all over the place and the ECU is trying to compensate all over the place

na, my car is fine now since i got the o2 sensor fitted and lowered some of the % of the high throttle air map settings..

all good..i havent had that bunny-hop/learner problem since..

and i get around 400k's outa my 50L tank now,

so yeah..

and i still got the atmo bov connected..and my idle is fine..

i cleaned out the acc and i believe that made a hell of a difference ay...

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
