Hi ppl

I am looking at changing my SSQV back to a stock BOV. just to keep the hassle of being pulled over.

Running 1.1bar with 3037, power fc etc etc.

WOuld it be ok for me to swap it back to a stock bov and do i need to retune or anything that i need to do?

Thanks in advance!

I cant see it being a prob. My mate Al (2LV8ETR) just put hes stock bov back on recently for the same reason and he puts 22 psi or more thru that baby and its all good with the stock bov, so i cant see ya haven any dramas. Also remember that plumb back system may be needed again.

is the HKS atmo or plumb back?

if its ATMO the tuner might have tuned to compensate for the ATMO stalling stupid behaviour

so if you find it being grumpy on gear change or return to idle and it was an AMTO bov

then it might need a touch up on the map and a re-check of the fuel cut recovery etc

not major, just a few screens to check, should take 10 minutes tops?

thats only if its ATMO and the tuner had to compensate for it being stupid

paul: what is the go with power fc tuning for atmo bov's? Im just intersted in wether its a setting/settings you change or is it just altering the fuel (and possibly igniton) maps to componsate for the air that isnt getting plumbed back into the system?

Just curious

Thanks

Most likely - spring rates, release pressure etc.

It might be minor, it might be ok... it's anyone's guess.

IMO buy a GTR BOV, chuck that on, live happy ever after (once you get the tune/driveability checked if its a problem)

most of the time just fiddle with the decel fuel recovery, I have mine set to 1200rpm and it's fine running without a BOV doesn't stall, even with the A/C on. With the stocker you can set it like 200rpm+ of the idle, so 1050rpm or so

if you set it too high your car will idle a tad high before dropping to the set idle setting.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
