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!

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.

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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
