Too true...add to that shuddering/surging on throttle lift offs...will give him a week before he has the factory BOV reconnected....

Hecctik...

Awesome pic, though strangely only appears when I went to reply, not normal.. Weird :S

Anyway, my prelude has a great dose, not a crappy VL type one, but a grunty manly one <_> No problem with shuddering or surging, and its got a brass button clutch too, and its fwd, and tyres bald, and its 220KW :)

hey guys.. have just notised two lines im not sure about... 1 is coming from the p/s compressor- which go to the intake pipe... what to do..????

2.. there is also another line coming from the wastegate... what to do..... any help would be appreciated...

Why dont you just drive around with "Im a Knob" sticker on your window.

Dose pipe and sticker have the same affect.

There is a small difference between the two Dave.

the sticker actually has people questioning whether its a piss take or not.

dose pipe confirms it without a shadow of doubt.

that one going to the throttle is your bov recirc which you dont need to worry about block it off, the one going to the rocker cover is the oil breather you must have that so make a nipple on your new intake pipe and the vaccum one goes into the t peice of the stock boost controoler you can block it off

Hope you enjoy stalling and backfires....Sorry ash

if u do it correctly this will not happen, i had a metal "dose" pipe made for my 34, i removed all the piping for it from above the turbo (sorry i dont know the mechanical name but it was 1 black pipe and 1 steel/alloy pipe" and also blocked out the bov and i never stalled. as for backfiring after i installed my cooler i got backfire a lil bit and i didnt realise an increase

i run a hks ssqv now though so no more dose as i got a bit over it

So what part of your install was done "correctly" over the 100's of others that have issues.

You only have issues when you do it without having the car tuned my car was stalling before I had it tuned then when its tuned for no bov it doenst stall and runs well

I dont know where all these stalling theories are coming from... I blocked off my BOV on my Stagea, no stalling. Had it blocked off on my 33 and.......... no stalling???

Only side affect was a nice flutter sound thru gear changes and backing off!

If the dude likes the sound let him have it ffs....

Yes there is knowledge backing up the fact that it can hurt your car, There are also people who have done it and never had a problem.

Like the sound? Do it, its easy as hell.

Dont like the sound and think its stupid close the thread and move on.

Dont like the sound and think its stupid close the thread and move on.

Trouble is we get absolutely inundated with threads like this all the time...Rice modifications all aimed at getting a certain sound or certain look only...Quite often sounds and looks that make 'all' of us targets of the law...This pisses me off!!

Now if we don't at least make an attempt to quell threads like this by using deserved words such as knob etc, imagine how ricey SAU will become!!! 2 out of 3 threads will be titled "How do I make my Skyline sound / look like a 14yo really did design it??"

So maybe relax a bit on the people making their thoughts on ricey mods known because ricey mods make us all targets...If you dont like people doing this, close the thread and move on...

:) Feeling better now...

btw Tututuriffic thread guys!!!

One thing I did notice when I stuck a Mount Franklin lid in the BOV return on my S15 to get this 'hectik dose' was that the boost gauge would maintain a positive boost reading between gears...I notice with BOVs active, the gauge returned to 0"hg....

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
