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.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
