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.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
