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.

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
