an atmo bov is also more likely to make an auto stall as the gears are not constantly meshed (same reason you can't push start an auto)

who fed you that line?

anyway, it will give you no advantages over your stock BOV other than sound.

i have a GReddy plumbed back and it is plenty loud enough.

atmo bov = really rich on bov vent

manual box = gears constantly meshed, clutch in revs drop, clutch out brings revs back up

auto box = lift off for bov to vent, back on the gas, car is over fueled to bov release, stall out and fail

doesn't always happen but quite often will

if it doesn't, you will get black smoke on bov activation and you'll get a dirty rear bumper

Smokey he's correct aftermarket BOV on an auto increases stalling and car running shit at low speeds. Why do you think certain controls are on airflow computers for if you have a BOV installed it adjusts voltages on sudden throttle let of to decrease the chance of stalling.

Of course it will give him gains over stock that's not just sound improvement. It will hold boost stronger that the stock oem Nissan jobby made for 7psi with a 10+ year old spring in it.

-1 for incorrect technical advice on forums.

the driveline is always engaged in an auto, the momentum of the drivetrain keeps the engine turning over - it won't stall. it might overfuel, but it won't be any worse than on a manual which drops revs dramatically when you snap throttle shut and clutch out which drops revs to idle speed within a matter of milliseconds.

i dont disagree that atmospheric BOV's cause spikes in AFM readings - i have always run plumb backs. my disagreement was that 'they are more likely to make an auto stall'

not withstanding the fact, that i you read his statement closely, he says 'because the gears are not constantly meshed'.......which is the exact opposite of how an automatic transmission works anyway. the car is in D - the gears are engaged with the torque converter acting as cushion.

and there is nothing wrong with the stock bosch BOV's from nissan. i had twin bosch GT-R bov's setup on my 30ET - which are proven to hold 32psi and nearly20 years old. proven performers.

so you keep your 'technical advice' scorecard, i'll keep mine. :blush:

sorry but auto's are complete p1gs to drive with an atmo or even no bov when compared to a manual. its not the high rpm changes that are the problem, its when you back off at low rpm, say under 3k, that the stall convertor lets the rpm drop back to idle speed making it easier for the engine to stall. at least with a manual you can let the revs run down slowly with the gears when you back off, or give it a quick kick in the guts to stop it stalling without the car lunging forward.

i know this from personal experience of having to put up with no bov on my car for a couple of months after i did my turbo upgrade until i sorted out a replacement. only reason i was running no bov was the stock stagea bov, which in my opinion is complete rubbish for anything other than stockish sort of boost pressure, couldn't even hold 14psi.

the first time it stalled on me was at a really really bad time, turning right across a busy intersection, i accelerate quickly, but not going over 3000rpm, and back off as i'm at my desired turning speed, car stalls halfway into the intersection, then the mad panic to get going again. this is how it was:

car stalled --> f**k --> steering too heavy cant finish turn, f**k --> turn key to crank engine again, hang on, it wont start, f**k, panic --> oohhh, its gotta be in park or neutral to start (this is the last thing on your mind when you stuck in the middle of a busy intersection)

after that i found myself sometimes riding the brake and accelerator to keep the revs up and prevent a stall. a manual would have been instinctually easier to restart after a stall, car stalled --> clutch in turn key and off we go.

edit: to the OP, if your car is an auto, weather it be S1 or S2 it will have a bov, if you have a stock airbox it will muffle out the sound of the release and you will hardly hear it. but dont worry, it will be there.

^^^ I get the same problem across intersections when you stop at the island.

I don't run a bov because I'm too lazy to source a GTR item, so I need to heel-toe to blip the revs back up so it doesn't die.

Edit: I have an auto.

wait, just let me get one thing clear, the stock BOV is not atmospheric, but rather flows back to turbo right????

so even if it only holds 7psi or 15psi etc. doesent it mean your air still gets to run at 7/15 psi??? since it just sends it back to its original starting place????

not like atmospheric where that certain pressure is lost and vented to air?

kinda hard for me to explain without a diagram.

but basically even with a stock BOV you wouldnt have any power loss what so ever since it just circulates the air???

it is released into the intake just before the turbo compressor inlet. it dumps the pressure from the turbo compressor outlet side.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
