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...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
