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.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
