Bloody BOV's, Wats Wrong?

[krzysiu]

I have tried installing HKS BOV's onto my car. All together i have tried putting in 3 of them. Each of them stall my engine. Which means there is sumfin funny goin on wif my car. People say that my car is too modified to put one in but i think that is complete crap. I have got many mods, some people say that it is my Fuel/Air ratio is stuffed. Since the Stock BOV is a plumback and the HKS is an atmosphere BOV people tell me that there is not enough air goin back and the engine then puts in more fuel which stalls my engine. Does that make sense? Ive also heard that i can buy some sort of a Idle Restrictor from HKS that wont allow the RPM to drop and stall the engine. Ideas please.

Thankz

try adjusting it and u shouldnt have any probs

also u can keep the std one on and just get a thin metal plate to put in betweeen it, with small holes in it

Your friends are correct. When the BOV vents your car will run very rich, so rich that it will stall.

Sell the BOV and stay with the stock one, if your really keen you can do the mod to it that is on this site (do a search).

Either that or buy a plumb back one.

There are little add on electrical things that can solve the stalling, plus a S-AFC will fix it too. But your money is best spent somewhere else.

nuh the think is i didnt buy it, First the guy installed it, then we went for a drive and it stalled, then he put in a second one, also stalled, Its not a tunning problem. He tried everything. So at the end i just put back the Stock one. So now my money is going towards a Apexi Boost Controller

Hehehe, good stuff

[KamikazeR33]

agreed

but a safc would be a better option if u dont have 1 already

[krzysiu]

Yea i want an SAFC and a boost contoller. That would get ma car to the 300KW mark

Dont bother with a piggy back ECU

Save up some more and buy a Motec/Wolf/PowerFC...piggy back ecus are ****ing shit and a waste of money

I assume the vacuum hose was connected to the HKS BOV?

If it wasn't that would make it still for sure...

Even the stock BOV will stall the car if its not plumbed back! I tested the stock one vented in my car, return pipe blocked, Bov vented, vacuum hose connected = drives for a while ok, then HALT!!! Nothing

[krzysiu]

yea it was all connected correctly. The stupid thing was that the person who had the car before me was driving it with a HKS BOV. How dangerious is that if you are on a round about when u have to go slow and your engine goes off. Brakes and power steering are gone. Dont know how he was driving it. Plus it wrecks the Clutch 100 times quicker. I staying with the Stock BOV and saving up for a APEXi Power FC. Damn i wish i had a money tree

If u r planning on making some decent power then get yourself some GTR BOV's coz the stock gts-t bov will fail over 1 bar. I got one on mine and it holds 21psi without any problems and u dont get any stalling problems.

[Jay95R33]

Denham - will a single GTR BOV mount on the factory spot on a GTS-t ??

[Guest INASNT]

Nope, cos its actualy 2 bov's and with its own pipe.

I had alot of messing around on mine to fit them. On my car they sit just before the cooler intake.

i have the same problem with mine i got HKS ssqv. skylines seem to have alot of problems with BOVs the vent to much pressure out causing the car to stall.

the only BOV that i have been told that does the trick and doesnt stall are turbosmart ones, but my friend has blitz one and is does it very rarely.

[Guest INASNT]

The blitz ones are the worst, i had 1 for about 2 months and hated every time i drove it with the blitz one on

[krzysiu]

How much would it be to buy and intall the GT-R BOV's? Because my car is running 1.2 bars on the Stock BOV. Soon ill be running 1.4 so i think i would need it.

[Guest INASNT]

I bought my GTR BOV's off a 97 R33 for $250.

They are a bit tricky to install as they are infact 2 bov's together and has twin return lines.

[Chef_32]

How does the stock bov fail after 1bar???

[Guest INASNT]

It starts to leak.

There's nothing wrong with the BOV you installed. This is a problem with R33 GTS-t, to overcome this problem all you need to do is to disconnect the battery for about 15mins after you install it. This will solve the problem.
