ok ill start from the beginning.

about a month ago i got a blitz supersonic bov installed,

had to be welded on with a custom made gasket as an adaptor

was not found. A FMIC was also installed and the bov was welded

onto the intercoller piping. The pod filter was relocated to the

position of the stock intercooler so it would have lots of cold air.

The AFM is inbetween the pod filter and the turbo.

Heres when all of my problem starts.

The car starts to idle very weak on turbo timer

600 - low 700 rpm idle.

Everytime i change gears (around 3000rpm) a single missfire occurs

about 70% of the time. A single pop.

I have tried to resolve the issue by plugging the vaccum line

back into the stock BOV and it seems to run fine, no missfire.

But then another problem occurs.

When i rev over 3k rpm about 4k it starts to shutter and feels like

its loosing a lot of power. I've read around and came across R&R.

i think this might be it, but im not sure.

I've taken it to a few reputable tuners here in melb and they said;

i need to relocate the AFM before the BOV on the intercooler piping,

get a nistune which would cost me quite abit of $$.

I havnt got the funds at the moment and would like for a temporary

fix if possible untill i get hold of some funds.

So if anyone could shed some light on what i should be doing will be great.

From what i've read, im going to get the AFM cleaned, some new

platnium spark plugs gapped at 0.8, tape up the coilpacks

and clean the o2 sensor tomorrow.

As reguards to power. when i first got the car it came with a kakimoto cat back,

pod filter (just sitting in engine bay unboxed) and hks hipermax coilovers.

Power reading was 141.1rwkw.

I feel as if the car is losing power. It does not run like how i bought it.

Thanks in advanced

update; i've changed the spark plugs today and gapped them at 0.8

the R&R problem seems to have gone but the other 2 problems are still

there !!.

can anybody help me i'm outta ideas

G`day androoh,Do you get misfire with AIRCON switched ON ??? ,let car Idle & see whet happen`s,if you have it just dip,then may be look at COIL PACK`S,cheap quick fix is to COAT with CRC URETHANE SEAL COAT,post-36964-1240482940_thumb.jpgpost-36964-1240483379_thumb.jpg,clean them well ,there is few post`s about this,good luck,cheer`s chuckie

Is it one like in the pic below,

If so you will need to get the recirculating fitting and then plumb back in the return hose from the BOV to between the turbo and air flow meter (MAF) on the intake pipe where the stock pipe has the return.

If you have the factory BOV that would more than suffice but then you will have to get the factory piping which I am thinking you do not want to do at this point. So just spend a little extra and get the fitting to recirculate the BOV and you should be good.

They always tend to idle a bit lower wen running on the turbo timer, I don't think thats a major issue but 600 rpm does sound a bit too low :) Are you sure it's that low???????

Bout the BOV if it's not a plum back you'll always get that trust me. Bet you any money put the factory 1 back on and problem solved. But neway you just gota do wat the guys said sounds like they know they've used that BOV b4 but sorry I've never seen it.

Standard BOV. This is a well documented problem. Your computer is not able to think. It is preprogramed to work with the equipment it came with. Every time you back off the computer sees a lean out condition and throws in a bunch of fuel, this is the pop you are getting. I could be wrong as every car is different but one thing we all know is the standard R33-R34 will play up without the BOV plumbed back.

MAF-metered engines must have a CLOSED induction system in order to run correctly. This means not a single air-leak after the AFM - including; BOV's, oil-filler points, dipsticks, vacuum lines, breathers etc.

As previously stated, you need to recirculate your current BOV (ensuring the return is fed in after the AFM), or return the car to standard.

There have been reports of the factory BOV's leaking, however this is not all that common at moderate boost levels.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
