hey all

just wondering if anyone can help me

i have a slight issue with the 33

because of the heat today i had the a/c running in the car and when i was in car park and my 33 stalled

after a while it started to overheat ( that was after 3hrs of running)

i am mainly worried about it stalling when i am in car parks ...........

yeap, so you think.

I often wonder how many retards will ever learn that a ATMO BOV is a BIG f**kING AIR LEAK in your intake system.

When the car is under a little bit of load with the AC on, it pulls more vacuum, pulls the BOV open, leaks air, and you run as rich as f**k.

You're wondering why you smell fuel. Its the BOV.

There is a reason why they plumb back the factory Mitsubishi BOV. because it has a permanent leak, and the AFM measures this air and expects it to go into the engine. Not out your BOV.

Putting on that BOV would have done absolutely nothing for you, except made you car sound like a wanker, stall, and over fuel. NExt time your coasting to a set of lights at about 3k. Push the clutch in. I bet the taco sinks like a stone and it stalls.

I can guarantee that if you install the factory one back on, your problems will go away. Maybe after you change your already f**ked spark plugs.

Can mods start banning anyone that posts "My car runs like shit, it has a ATMO BOV" threads please.. Sick of the absolute stupidity I read.

My car runs poorly with AC and I run the standard BOV. To say the least though, it doesn't stall but its definitely harder to move off the lights than with the AC off. Ive got new plugs too. I think my AAC might be dirty...

And damn these air cons are shit in 39+ weather lol.

it was also doing it with the factory BOV but not as bad ........

1. i changed the before putty road crusie

2. did was you said it would go off becasue of the GATE which is plumbed back into the exhaust !!!!

it was a simple question , the bov is only there as a stop becasue its not even hooked up ..... thats right no vacuum line to the BOV

You can't just stop a BoV by not hooking it up. It's held closed by the pressure of the vacuum line - without that, all you have is the very weak spring, which will open up very easily.

No wonder it's running terribly... Please put it back the way it was with a vent-back, hooked up with a vacuum line.

maybe we should ask what the brand and model of the atmo BOV he is using, cause I run a HKS ssqv and have none of these issues, and before you start bagging, the tuner chose to use it over the std one I supplied both were supplied to him...

I have no stalling issues with or without AC on... 21psi of boost @ 290rwkw...

the tuner did say the BOV was very surprising to him and that it held closed very well and didnt leak like most others do, that is why he used it.

maybe only some atmo bovs have given them all a bad name in some regards, not all but some problem areas...

I don't really care what anyone says - The facts are, if you use a ATMO BOV in a Air flow meter application, then its WRONG.

The BOV will be so tight its not doing its job at all, so they are useless. Nissan made them plumb back for a reason. GTRs even.

So don't try and justify an ATMO BOV. It is wrong in airflow metered induction systems.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
