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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
