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.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
