Hey guys,

I searched the fourms and found nothing on this. (but if there is somthing, don't hate me)

I've got an r33 sreies two and a put the GFB Stealth FX bov on it.

Too my dissapointment when it is as loud as it can go the car stalls cause the piston doesn't shut fast enough. So I turned it to as quiet as it could go and the problem is fixed, but what is the point of having it if it is as loud as my stock one was.

The adjustment works like a ratchet and I adjust it one click away from quietest and it still almost stalls. F**king Shit!!!

Even when I tighten the spring tension, it is a bit better but I get conperssion surge, which I heard is bad, and my car runs like a dogg.

So my question is, Has anyone delt with this and what did u do?

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

Is compression surge bad? (sorry, there is no direct answer on the forums)

thanks guys

Peace out

if it is set on full atmo, than that is why your car is stalling because cars with afm's dont like atmo BOV's

set it on 50/50 at least. if it still stalls raise the idle a touch to something like 800-900rpm which will give you some slack

compressor surge is bad from most people say but others say no problem. so who knows

alot of people with say stick with the standard bov but thats prob not what you want to hear

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
