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...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
