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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
