Fellas,

As the subject suggests... I got myself a nice HKS SSQV s2 (atmospheric) B.O.V a couple of weeks ago and my car's been stalling like a sick dog for no reason... the sound of the HKS isn't actually top-notch either so I've decided to go back to stock... as I don't want the car to keep stalling and the stock SSHHHHHH sound isn't too bad either...

Was wondering 2 things...

1) Anyone experience similiar issues with Atmo B.O.V's?

2) How do I make my stock B.O.V sound better which makes the nicer and louder sshhhhh sound?

Regards,

Just to save you the flame, have a quick search and you will find many topics about this.

Skylines dont like atmo venting BOVs.

Stick to stock. Theres nothing wrong with it. And if your only after the sound, well... thats another story.

Stock is fine up to a certain point, after that get a stock gtr one

a full plumb back (or atmo, its adjustable) GFB Stealth-Fx bov can be found for near-enough to the price as a gtr unit, if 3rd hand is good for you ;)

works great, bigger turbo holds boost better (was bleeding off too much), and it doesnt sound stupid in full plumb back mode, a little flutter of air reveberation between turbo and afm when you lift off the throttle

ecu with safc (tuned to previous bov) works fine with it

awaiting a hks actuator, so will retry stock bov but I feel that 16psi was a touch too much for it (dropped to 14psi all the time)

Thanks fellas... I guess, there's nothing wrong with going stock... besides, the POD has good stocking and let off sound so it's not too bad (sound wise)... as for the atmo one... man, bleeding and stalling like a biagge.... lol....

Anyone know how to modify the stock one a bit to make it sound better?

Search the DIY section but found nothing.

rev can you link me to the diy mod to make it hold boost?

"Crushing:

"Crushing" the BOV just means sticking the piece in a vice and pressing the top had down causing the internal spring to shorten and increase pressure on the BOV valve."

will try !! =D

Update: Installed the stock BOV on my car this morning... at first (maybe because the ECU) was still adjusting... it kept stalling... but then after an hour or so, it tuned itself and is running nicely now ... no more stalling... damn, spent a bit on the HKS SSQV and now back to stock... some times it's not worth modifying.... I'll let it run a couple more days before giving everyone a run down. Thanks.

Isn't there an attachment for the SSQV which allows it to be plumbed back?

Although stock is good, its also about 15 years old.

Plumbing back your new one might not be a bad idea... just my thoughts.

R31Nismoid, I he might of been referring to the ECU getting out of limp mode?

Stock ECU is a learning ECU right?

Edited by infamous_t

stock ecu is a learning ecu. if they are reset or things change they adjust accordingly in very minor increments. that would explain the time taken for the car to adjust to the bov change.

Err...no. Although it appears that does work for some people I don't know that I'd give that one a crack unless you had a few spare stock BOV's.

The mod involves little bit of a drilling, you should use a vice however to hold things while you drill though.

Someone did post the instructions up some time ago. Will go for a search for you.

my hks ssqv bov never made my car stall. aslong as you keep the standard bov plumback and set up a t-peice in the vac line it will run fine. if you only run a single vac line to the atmo it'll start stalling and what not.

My ssqv replaced the standard bov in the factory position and i don't have any problems using the single vacuum line.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
