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:

Now you can hunt down that dude who sold it to you and make him eat it...

with his anus...

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...

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
