stock bovs are rubbish, leaking heaps of shit, done a trip 2 brissy other weekend, running stock bov, f**kin heap of shit leaking the whole time on light throttle could hear it just in vacum, so fkn annoying

That information is WAY off..

hmmmmmmm... just thinking y u would think a piece of machinery that has been moving up and down billions of times could never break down, loose its seal...

it makes sense tho. u love dose pipes. so how could u know.

the GFB Stealth-FX is either a full atmo or plumb-back bov, fits the gtst engine no probs

you can adjust it to say 10% atmo and 90% plumb-back

I have one, it is near new and I will sell it soon (repaired the stnd bov)

I run it on my auto rb25det on full plumb-back and it sounds, well, not too bad.

never stalled the engine with it on either, but when you take the foot off the accelerator you can hear the reveberation from the released air hitting between the turbo and the afm.

Nice theory.

and it's good to see that you're brain is at least trying to work.

do me a favour.

ask the brain of yours this question, and then type up the dribble that it gives you.

ready?

"How does a blow off valve work?"

lets hear it?

Edited by GTST

ok..

I'll get you started.

bov has a piston in it.

this piston stays closed, then opens to let the air in the intake out.

it also has a small vacuum line entry point.

bov is placed on the Turbo side of the throttle body.

the vacuum line to the bov gets it's reading from the PLENUM side of the throttle body.

now you take over and explain how it all works.

No googling now.

wish i had the last 3 minutes of my life back.

leave the standard one on.

do a search man..

aparently it is WELL documented that the stock ones are shit and that a good AEM (which is a UNIVERSALLY USED Acronym of rAftermarket Equipment Manufacturer - don't you know anything) bovs are the way to go..

and I can give you your 3 minutes back if you like.

I can travel back in time and take you with me if you like..

I saw a little asian guy do it by shutting his eyes and trying really hard to fart.. then pop.. he disapears and re-apears in the another time..

you want in?

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
