1. I know the OEM BOV is designed to allow metered air to re-circulate, but is it suppposed to be fully open at idle, closing as the vacuum reaches zero?

2. My PFC was tuned with/for an atmo SSQV. What is the major difference in the tune when using an atmo or recirc?

I ask because if I use the OEM BOV's it idle hunts and fouls plugs.

GTR BOV does not flutter but has bad idle, feels "soft" and fouls plugs.

SSQV has a great idle, very responsive but flutters.

Synchronic idle was not all that great, would open at the wrong times, fouled plugs and I just don't trust US made products.

Greddy is similar to the SSQV. I prefer the Greddy because it has a larger valve, the

recirc outlet will fit the OEM hose, has two springs (remove the smaller one and it

functions like OEM) and it is adjustable.

I even port matched and chamfered the cross pipes BOV outlet to the Greddy increasing the area by about 320mm.

I am going on deployment very soon and my wife will be staying in Japan driving this car. I will be taking in tonight setting up an appointment to have the tune adjusted, it needs to be functional for about a year with no problems.

I figured the OEM BOV was designed to be fully open at idle and light throttle. This would certainly avoid hunting and to stop the flutter.

I know you all like the GTR BOV but what makes it better than the Greddy RS?

The RS is very similar to the GTR in operation and design. The RS has a larger valve, is adjustable but has a smaller outlet. If I remove the smaller spring and it opens fully at idle, it should meet or exceed OEM.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
