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.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
