stock bov

[nissanpower]

just curious.. what would happen if i disconnected the return hose on a stock bov and blocked it?

[ex-static]

From talking to a few other people it would have a loud PSHHT similar to that of an aftermarket BOV.. not sure what harm it will cause the engine.

Alot of WRX's do this. as they have a similar plumback stock bov.. so im told.

[XrSiSt]

It would make the noise, and it would stall.

[ex-static]

But what if you have an SAFC ?

[nissanpower]

even if i had an aftermarket bov.. i think it will still stall.. cos the air/fuel mixture is still wrong.. would the gfb hybrid be any good

hey xrsist seen your car around.. nice ride

[XrSiSt]

Hmm.. SAFC.. then it's a totally different story.. :lol:

I've got an aftermarket bov with a stock computer and no

addons. It still did stall on low revs, but that was fixed simply

by just increasing the idle abit. Sits at about 900rpms now.

nissanpower, eaeahh thanks... :crazy: where bouts?

[nissanpower]

canley heights... all the time

what type of bov do you have..

im thinking of gettin hks ssqv, apexi twin chamber or gfb hybrid

[XrSiSt]

Yepz, usually at Santos or something. Wat colour is urs?

I got some custom one or something..

I've since sold it though and have my hands on a HKS SSQ.

Any of them are good. I'm pretty sure they all make different

sounds.

[nissanpower]

i have a black one.. mostly stock except for exhaust

i took off the return hose on the stock.. and it does make the sound.. but than wants to stall

and makes a very bad smell too

haha so i shoved it back on and clamped it

Most of the sky's have a pretty high idle anyways don't they? Mine hasn't stalled with a turbosmart type 3, i think my idle is about 800. Just block the return pipe an it'll be sweet!

I was considering disconnecting the return pipe on the stock bov to avoid defects, and its a pretty good budget bov too!

I went to block mine off last night, but couldnt find anything to bung it up with.. there isnt much room to play with!

What can I use to bung it up with? a brass plug of some sort? it still sits very close to bov.. this shouldnt affect it at all?

[XrSiSt]

Any of of the aftermarket turbo suppliers should have a stopper

avaliable. I have a turbosmart one in mine. Cost me $20.

I've heard that a plastic bottle top off of a 600ml Coke fits !!!!

Not sure if I'd do it though :confused: :confused:

[ex-static]

ahah, I think ill just buy a bung of some sort...

id think the coke lid would melt? :lol:

[GTR-80Y]

a piece of broom stick or a film cannister works well, i had a film cannister in there for a few a week....pretty dangerous though, could have melt.

Hey Eric, guess where i put the plug for my type 3 BOV??? INSIDE THE BOV! When it came with the adaptor it was inside the adapter hole, so i thought thats where it went. I went to turbo smart head office and complained my BOV was soundin funny. When they saw the plug fluttering up and down in the bov they brought all the staff outa the office to see wat i did. :lol:

[XrSiSt]

:lol: pwahahah.. Boy do you crack me up!

[GTR-80Y]

Turbosmarts head office reaction too!:lol:

[nissanpower]

hahaha

i plugged the hose with a water bottle top.. just to test it..

fits perfectly

and went for a little run..makes a nice sound..flat..sneezing sound.. but keeps stalling on low gear..

and than came back.. lift up the hoodd.. and it stank.. hhaha

doo all vent to atmo bov's smell?? also made weird noise..

so i just put everything back together and hope theres nothing wrong..

oh yeah and seems to be leaking abit too

sh*t

[GTR-80Y]

lolol...it shouldn't stink buddy! Are you sure you plugged it properly? some bovs will stall the car, especially if your idle is low.

[nissanpower]

hahhaee yeah i think i plugged it back right.. just roll the hose back on and clamp it..

hmm maybe the smell coming from the optimax.. i heard some people say optimax has farty smell.. loll and some of my friends say the car kinda smells too..

hahee hey how can i make my idle higher??
