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...

I would guess that for a given motor, the pistons in the motor would have gone up and down a couple of thousand times more than the piston in the BOV, i know what i would expect to leak first.

Ok, first i'll quote your initial post.

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

Now for Abu's post in reply to yours.

Now again yours in reply to Abu.

Now I have much respect for you and this will not change my views on you. Same goes to abu, I feel he is a much respected member on this forum and he provides very usefull info and so do you also.

Now you've left out a very important piece of info in you first post and I have highlighted that above. Any person reading your initial post is not going to assume that you ran your stock bov to the atmosphere....thus in your view putting it in the piece of crap catagory.

As others have experienced, the stock bov is not crap if it is used as it was intended to be used, as a recirculating valve. Abu's reply was not out of line.

In fact it was your post that was mis-informing by leaving out a critical part of information.

Explanation and informaton is the key my friend.

So it turns out that it is not abu, but you that is the keyboard warrior today. Maybe your just having an off day, but regardless, the name throwing and "going off" at abu wasn't necessary.

I intend no offence to you by this post.

Thankyou for your time.

Fellas, I think we've just gone a bit over board... back on topic...

I need an atmospheric BOV to not stall my car - how to do this?

I need the sucking and shshttt sound... man, I need it bad.

No it will not work.

Your AFM measures how much air is going into the engine, the ecu then uses that measuement of air going in to work out hom much fuel put in.

When you put on a BOV that vents air back to atmosphere (makes thats loud pschhh) your computer (thinking the air is still in the engine) puts in way too much fuel. This results in stalling, stuttering, big black exhaust smoke and a generally shithouse driving experience.

A 50/50 BOV still dumps 50% of the air that the ecu expects, so it still causes a problem. Just leave it stock FFS!

*On a side note I changed my spark plugs on the weekend and forgot to put the BOV return pipe back on, as i changed gears i got the atmo bov noise. But it made the car feel so sluggish on gear changes, spat so much black smoke I cant imagine how anyone could deal with that just for a little ghey sound*

Yeah mate, thanks so much for your advice... it is much appreciated....

You ironed it out nicely - enough said, I concur with your point (and those others have made too)...

That's right fellas... stock then it works and runs better but no sound... atmo BOV and the car runs lean, stalls like shit and performs less efficiently.... ok, I'll go stock... thanks.

have you been reading??

the GFB Stealth-fx does what you want.......................

Apparently it doesn't... as it's only 50 50 plumb back... if I plumb it all back then same thing as stock.

Thanks.

No its not, you can adjust it to fully plumb back or fully atmo, or any config in between. The whole idea of this BOV is so you adjust the volume of the noise you want, i have this on my car and if you set it up right the car doesn't stall on full atmo. I live in NSW and unfortunately it is a defect here, Although i had mine adjust to full plumb back the cop said i could adjust it at any time so defect time. And i too got sick of the noise thats why i had it full PB. I don't know about the laws in VIC.

Full atmo on your bov is just like full atmo on any other bov mate.

PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD. I cant take it anymore!!!

stolen s15 could you please explain what you mean?

I think you taken my reply the wrong way, i was reply to his post stating that the GFB FX was a 50/50 BOV i was only trying to clear this up by saying it could 100% atmo, 100% plump or anything in beween. I too have gone back to stock.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
