Hi,

I know this seems to be a hot topic, and I have done a quick search, but I still havnt found the information/answer im looking for.

Now the motor has done 225ks although it is tired and is slowly losing power, it still performs. I currently only have a fmic, cai, tbe and thats about it in terms of power, but ran a 171rwkw a while ago with these mods.

I have blocked the Red bits, and the blue bits are vented to the atmosphere.

Some people frown upon it, and some say its fine, all i know it seems to be working well, although i have noticed that it seems to stall when it decelerates rapidly eg. when pulling up to lights with my foot on the clutch and hard breaking. This is not the case when i return it back to the factory set up.

My main concern is this;

I'm currently not running a BOV, and would like to return it back to the standard set up to get rid of this stalling problem, but also just because im sure Nissan engineers are smarter then i am in this field regardless of what people think about emissions, a vacuum to get rid of crankcase pressure is better then the atmospheric pressure.

Would running the standard PCV setup without a BOV mean that the "flutter"/back pressure created pressurise the crankcase and put me in a worse situation?

Thank you.

noticed the brake booster location.. your car's left hand drive?

i do realise that my car will also near-stall if i block the blow off too, however i don't think the bov has anything to do with crank case pressure because its just a valve that regulates the air in the pre-throttle pipes when the throttle is shut

Oh sorry i should have noted, that the pic of the RB is just one i found on the internet, i just used it to demonstrate how mine is set up.

It's not the blocking of the blow off valve that makes it near stall, its when it's set up like the above picture (PCV Setup) it does that.

The reason i ask if not having a BOV affects this, is because i understand the back pressure/surge coming back through the intake pipe will lead the air back to the head, which might damage the motor, thats what i need to clarify.

Thanks.

should be sweet like that . pos bov is causing it . needs to be plumb back . or adjust the tension on the spring till you get it to work . in my opinion those bov are rubbish and could never get it to work satisfactory

The picture above isn't one of my engine bay, its just one i found on the net to show how i've got the PCV plumbing set up.

Currently not running a bov.

Thanks.

I had th4e same problem when i installed a blitz BOV (Bought used). Messed around with the spring tension and it wasnt stalling anymore. But i noticed better response from the engine with the stock recirculating valve, so i changed back to stock.

Its not the PCV/Breather setup causing the stalling, its the fact you have removed/blocked the factory BOV, reconnect it and it will fix the stalling problem. Had same issue with my S15...blocked factory BOV for hectik flutters, got over it within a few weeks and unblocked it, car drove perfect on part throttle etc, no stalling, surging etc...

When I connect the PCV plumbing how it came from stock, i lose the stalling issue.

But the stalling issue isnt my concern, my concern is running the standard PCV pluming with flutter, will this cause damage?

Thanks.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
