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

Chris

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 :)

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 :D

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 :)

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
