ive just blocked off my stock bov, NOT for the hektik flutterz yo but so i can use the gasket to trace out an adapter plate to mount a bov on my intercooler piping when i put that in.

so im gna be driving the car round like this for a few days, is it normal to get a rough idle with the bov blocked? and is it normal for my car to sound like a rex and feel really rough until about 2.5-3k rpm?

cheers!

You blocked off the return pipe from the BOV back to the intake right?

And as if it's not for hektik flutterz. You could just remove the gasket, trace it, and put it back on. But you have chosen to drive it around for a 'few days' like this. I'm calling you out as a ricer!

do u mean that smallish hose from the top of the bov to the side of the plenum? coz no i havnt touched that, all ive done is put a solid gasket between the bov and mount.

damn u cought me out ! lol i hate myself for saying this but it sounds awsome, its only for a few days but, i swear!

Thats part of your problem your problem, but he is talking about the Bov re-circ hose that goes down to the intake pipe.

i blocked off that top hose didnt really do much, the other hose was in a too tight position to block off. its onli gna be like this for a day so shud be alright

No, it'll foul the spark plugs.

There are two hoses. One large one (approx 1 inch diameter) that goes back in front of the turbo, and the vacuum hose that went to the top of the valve. You need to block both

thanks for the heads up :) i just ended up tracing the original gasket onto some cardboard on putting it back in, less hassles

also noticed a coilpack plug was disconected but it may have happened after wen i was fiddling round with the bov. the car did sound tuff hahaah but definatly didnt sound normal

, thanks guys

i am running a blocked off stock BOV and never had a problem at all.....al the hoses are still connected and in place as they were before.....all i did was put a metal plate in between the BOV and the mount.....flutters nicely and no problems.....mind you dont get any flutter when it hits 12psi only on low boost it will flutter

um.... why would you want to move the bov? the stock bov is in the ideal location. nice and close to the throttle body.

Yer i would of thought that. Using the stock posstion is good. You will need the plum back pipe from the bov to the intake in front of the turbo other wise yes it will run like a dog.

Ive tried this trick once before on my old RB20 and it didnt like it at all. Hooked the bov back up with plum back pipe, all good again.

I would stay with the origanal bov or do a search on ebay for a aftermarket one with plumback support.

Sigh@flutters, its the most annoying noise on the planet, specialy wene u see a nice skyline or any car realy and the accelorate near u and make that gay noise - fail

no actually it's more embarresing when my bov goes and everyone turns around and looks at u and says rice.

You would have solved your problem when you reconnected the coil pack as you car would have been running on 5 cylinders and misfiring.

The WRX sound of a skyline usually points to coilpacks or plugs as it is a misfiring sound.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
