after Guy fitted my BOV on for me (HKS SSQV) my car was getting more km's out of a tank, and it was backfiring when i gave it stick causing the flames... awesome...

is genuine HKS... Sunny dude, i would take out your BOV and just sell it and get a genuine HKS... china BOV's = super ghey

100km's less out of a tank is not worth the wank factor, more km's is though

As Bubba said, it wont run rich unless the BOV is actuating.

If the BOV is actuating under load. Its not tight enough.

Properly working Atmospheric BOV's will only 'smoke' and run 'rich' when they need to "Blow off" extra air. (And that's to do with changes in Load)

Just tighten it, make it work properly.

That 'Extra' fuel coming through the exhaust would have just gotten burnt by an unloaded engine anyway. Which will not effect your economy. Really, its not extra fuel, because it was going to get injected anyway.

(On a side note, AT A GUESS, because the princeples of induction may counter this - if you plumb back a bov in front of the AFM, you will read that portion of air twice, and then there will be 'extra' fuel injected.)

Your smoke on load is a sign the BOV may not be operating correctly.

I think im just repeating what people have said ?

However there are some myth's being said too.

its got nothing to do with the bov spring being tight enough.

its got to do with the stock bov recirculates the air back into the intake pipe. atmosphere bov vents to the air. therefore less air in the intake

less air + same fuel = running rich. its very common problem, atmo venting bov are complete wank factor nothing wrong with stock bov i had no issue running one with 350rwhp and if yours is leaking get a set of gtr bov

Are you saying all atmospheric bov's will reduce fuel economy ?

Retract this, ive realised stock setups dont plumb back infront of the afm:

The guy was saying that he was getting lots of black smoke UNDER LOAD not on liftoff. Puffs of black smoke on liftoff or gearchange is normal with an atmo bov that hasn't been tuned for it. PLUMES OF BLACK SMOKE UNDER LOAD IS NOT JUST BECAUSE THE BOV IS ATMO. Something is wrong and it is most likely leaking when it shouldn't be.

wank factor?

Whats wrong with atmo bov's? I quite like mine.

As long as they arent overly loud.. they sound nice =)

If you like the sound of Harpo Marx sneezing or the amplified noise of a mouse being squashed, I'm sure they sound real good to you.

These noises are in no way associated with any kind of 'power' experience. If you like repeditive 'pachoo' and squeaking noises then Fisher Price has a great range of electronic musical toys on offer this christmas.

I reckon they should make them sound like farts at least then they have better comedy value.

My kids (incuding the 3yr old) now point at cars and say 'ricer!' when they hear these.

Who cares guys really, if you like the little sqeak sound, go for it... i prefer the dosing vl sound, not cuz i like vl,s i just like the sound, but that deep bass dose, not that shit high pitched annoying dose...

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
