Avoid driving it dude, because lean afrs on cruise can and will burn your exhaust valves.

why would it be lean on cruise? i think your right with any boost it is leaning out, that must be why the light started flashing on mine, or maybe the tune.:whistling:

Here is how the intake was setup when it was stalling.

This is how I had it afterwards to fix the stalling. I'm more convinced it was the ripples in the flex pipe than the extra length and bend, obviously had the air filter on for the test, this was taken before I put it on for the sake of the pic :).

Its the angle the BOV enters, not the bend that causes the stalling imo. It looked like a nice intake until you ditched the airbox. :thumbsup:

I have to agree with scotty here

You can imagine the BOV just venting and bouncing around in all directions disrupting the flow.

When Scotty designed mine it dumps into the intake on an angle towards the turbo

Yet another thread full of mafia's condescending crap, i hope it makes you feel tough :thumbsup:.

Not really hey, I've seen the AFRs after many of these upgrades and I know for a fact that they run lean and its not advisable to drive them far or at all.

So, dribble your shit elsewhere.

I wondered the same thing, but I've seen it on a few cars.

I'm thinking that at 2,500rpm and above the turbo is spooling a tiny bit, making the air path easier into the motor. Being a bigger turbo, its able to help more air into the engine. Think about it, at those revs, the turbine is spinning at a notable speed. The compressor would be "helping" the air get into the engine easier on vacuum, allowing it to breathe easier.

What had been tuned to 14.5 - 14.7 afrs on cruise, I'd seen go above 15. Also caused the engine to run a little hotter at cruise due to being a little leaner.

Not all but a number of cars.

Oh no not a 5% rise in AFR's, how on earth are the exhaust valves going to survive that. Load is determined by the AFM, unless theres a leak or something else isnt working as it should then its fine to drive normally. Sure the AFR's arent always going to be EXACTLY the same as they were before but your not going to kill your motor by driving it around under light load. It takes AFR's upwards of 17-18:1 to do any damage to valves and pistons under light-medium load and you'd know all about it if it was that lean.

i agree to this , the engine seems more powerful even without boosting compared to my old highflow i had, and that is significant , and its odd but i think true... and with cams i find it even more noticable..

No worries. So you just take your nose out of your ass shove your nose up the exhaust and have a sniff, and go "Yep, shes safe enough, thats about 16:1"

My whole point - Unless you have a wideband you have NFI. So is it worth the risk.

I've also seen cars cruise fine at 17:1 without a miss. Wonder how those exhaust valves are doing.

Who knows. But nah, she'll be right hey. Just spent $6k on a turbo upgrade, its just money. Who gives a f**k about the engine.

Its ok though, my cars will always be safe. And the people that listen to my advice.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
