Hi,

I just bought a greddy type s bov off someone in the forums and ever since i put it on it's been a nightmare.

Im using the direct bolt on flange..

I know their notorious for f@#king up on rb25's but any help would be great. =)

the problems i have are:

1) stalls when slowing down, coming to the lights etc.

2) car feels slower now, doesn't pull as hard anymore

3) fuel is being chewed, half a tank feels like a quarter of a tank.

Cheers guys

Well, thats maybe because you introduced a massive f**king air leak into the intake system?

Use your SEARCH button, and you might find about 5,000,000 threads about this, and how we've totally hammered the f**k out of some people that just want to put a happy twirly duck whistle poofter call cop magnet vent to atmosphere BOV on their car.

If your lucky, there might be 1 person out of every 10 posters that will give you an explaination on why your AIR LEAK is causing the car to stall, etc, without being an ass like I did..

maybe i should've added in the thread... "no faggots who are just gonna act like they know everything and talk big"

If someone asks for advice mate, you either give it to them or you don't don't waste my time to have to read it and i dont see why you would want to waste your time posting it if it isnt going to help anyone.

thanks for NOTHING mate.

lol, the BOV wankers are getting more witty by the minute.

Maybe you should install a second one, it should make your BOV sound louder, and more women will get wet, and try and dive through the window.

Thanks for thread number 5,000,001 on "omg guys, my fully sick BOV that attracts women and police, is making my car stall. omg, why? I know absolutely nothing about how a vent to atmosphere introduced an air leak causing MAF equipped cars to stall, so I'll just post another thread on here and ask the question for the 5,000,000th time."

Long bullshit story short:

If you want your car to behave, put the stock BOV back on. There is a reason why it returns the air back into the turbo, not to atmosphere.

If you have a larger turbo, and need the extra volume "blown off", install a recirculation aftermarket BOV, not a duck whistle atmo one.

Second hand GTR ones are also good. You need to plumb them back too, of course.

There's your explaination. You're actually lucky you got one before your thread got locked.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
