i know that this has been covered alot but ive been told this and that about i have to get a aftermarket ecu and tune it to fit a atmospheric bov cause the factory one is only tuned for the re-circ bov.

i just rang coffs harbour dyno and tuning services and the main man there told me i dont have to get a tune to fit a bov and i told him about the stalling and he told me its either a leak or a blockage.

a little while ago i was having idle problems and stalling even with the factory bov back on and my mate found the forum on here about the aac valve and mine was putrid and after it was cleaned out its been running perfect and my power is back.

could that aac valve been causing the problem?

well that leaves the question...does it have to be tuned or not?

cheers.

Edited by blitz r33

me and a mate just installed the bov and took it for a quick test drive and had no issues yet.

when i put it on before pretty much straight away at was rev hunting and stalling but not this time???

i will take it for a better run later and see how it goes.

no mate. been runnin my ssq for 1yr no probs.

get a hks ssq bov. it is a pull type piston (wateva that means) and is virtially impossible to leak.

i noticed in your pic that u are using a vee port type piston bov. THAR'S YOUR PROBLEM. UPGRADE TO A SSQ BOV.

will do thanks for the info.

can you let me know the price for one?

No, you don't have to necessarily get your whole car tuned just for a ATMO... the Atmo aka atmospheric BOV is a funny one.... on nearly 80% of Skylines it will cause bad stalling issues... as it plays with the AFM or something and your car will just shut down... I would recommended a plumb back on where the discharge is plumbbed back into the engine... as this is the way it was designed...

But if you want a HKS SSQV - buy mine - it's the latest one, I'll sell it to you for $150 plus postage.

PM me if you're interested otherwise good luck.

go on ebay man. i just have the copy. hasnt stepped wrong. had it apart a few times and is all sweet. make sure u dont adjust the spring tho just leave it. costs about 100+ including adapter

I dont know all the theory but its something to do with the magic the stock ecu does when it knows air is being plumbed back into the intake (ie. from the stock BOV) - so it works out the mixtures based on that air being available on top of what the AFM is reading...

So if its calculating this extra airflow and its not there (as with an atmo bov) then its gonna be stuffing up your mixtures. Aside from the stalling, you'll also notice that even on cars that dont stall, the fuel economy will suffer a bit with the atmo bov compared to the stock one. Its the same reason - your stock ecu cannot accurately get the air/fuel mixtures right if you have an atmo bov.

You can take the word of this tuning place or you can take the word of 80+% of the guys on here who have had the same issues as soon as they installed a bov that vents to atmosphere. swap it back for the stock one and the problem disappears...

Ask yourself it its worth the trouble and the cost of an aftermarket ecu + tuning.

I know what you're thinkin...

did it stall 6 times or only 5?

well to tell ya the truth in all the excitement i kinda lost count myself...

so you gotta ask yourself one question...

am i fully sikk enough?

well are ya punk?

actually none!

ive been driving it all day and it hasnt stalled once.

and am i fully sikk enough? and well are ya punk? is two questions not one.

so here we are... The part where no one knows dirty harry and i feel old enough to break a hip :banana:

It'd be best to get it tuned. You'll probably/most likely have a bit of overfueling happening.

Do you get a bit of a pop out of the exhaust on gear changes etc?

Unless you get it tuned, it'll make your car even more of a fuel muncher.

This is exactly what I said... if you wanna get an atmo BOV - nothing wrong with that - get yourself an aftermarket ecu like an Apexi FC and spend $450 on a tune not to mention the $1,300 on the FC... or just take the god-damned BOV off at put your stock on or one that plumbs back into the engine back on.... your call... I've decided to go back to the stockie... runs nice and fuel economy is better too....

thats only if your car stalls,but it would be good to get a after market ecu and a tune if you would like to go more boost and get a few mods done.

it must have been the aac valve on my car cause ive been driving it for 3 days now and not a problem.

That's right mate... if it works fine then I wouldn't worry...

If you can afford it, I would definitely recommend a tune.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
