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.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
