Getting Reversion With Stock Bov On Rb25

I'm getting reversion with my stock bov as I am running a highflowed rb20 turbo on an rb25 and it makes a lot of boost quite early, eg 6psi by 1900rpm in 4th.

If I boost with minimal throttle and back off I get a odd fluttering noise from the intercooler piping, but not the same as flutter from running no bov, it actually comes from the pipes/intake on the right hand side instead of the pod.

Anyway this means if I get on boost with the throttle just cracked open and then throttle off to change gear it fuels up and means the throttle doesn't work for about half a second, this makes for clunky gear changes which is quite frustrating.

I'm getting the tune touched up on thursday and Im hoping we can tune a lot of this out but is there anyway to make the stock bov work better? It doesn't flutter when I back off but I'm getting all the side effects of reversion, eg the maf signal flaps around, fuels up and pops on gear changes now and then.

The way Nissan get around it is to drill a small (4mm) bypass hole in the bov. Does yours have one?

Are you running the stock intake? The angle of the bov return can have a lot to do with it.

It is the stock BOV, is it there from factory?

I am running a metal intake but the angle looks identical to stock, plus I had a very similar issue with the rubber intake.

I don't know, I have the hole on mine and when I block the hole it can act like you mentioned.

The intake is the key, the stock bov return is on a crappy angle, it needs to point toward the compressor. If any air goes back up the intake the afm voltage will drop causing what you described.

Yep pretty much that was the problem.

The metal intake pipe I have with the old silicon joiner looks identical to the stock bendy hose, it was just about ~10cm shorter, so the AFM was mounted a lot closer to the bov outlet than it should have been.

Will grab a picture of afterwards tomorrow if I have time.

edit: Oh the new hose has a ~90 degree bend in it as well, probably makes more difference than just having it longer as well.

That would definitely help with the reversion but I hope you aren't chasing big power. The silicone 3 inch bends can suck closed at less power than the stock rubber ones, mainly due to the intake being so close to the exhaust manifold.

sorry for hijacking but just wondering if it matters how short the intake pipe is if you don't run a blow off valve / have an aftermaket one?

I'm getting a metal intake pipe made up just wanted to know if i can get it made shorter then the stock ruber one.

Thanks

I do have a bov (aftermarket), I was just saying in general aftermarket/no bov as theres no need for the return

I was thinking of just getting a copy of the stock rubber one but wanted to know if i could go shorter.

Thanks

I have read all the threads on atmo bov's but i have none of the problems stated in the theads, only trouble i had was my aac valve just had a breather on it for some reason, now all sorted & is running perfect.

I'll just get a direct copy of the rubber one.

Thanks

Perhaps you need a wideband to know how rich the engine is running at light loads and decel. All the cars with atmo's I see, the rear bar is covered in soot, the cats have collapsed and fuel economy is woeful. You can tune around it to some extent I guess, perhaps your tuner is a gun...

I make a direct copy if you have trouble finding someone local to make one.

I am running a metal intake, it is just the bit that joins on the pod that is silicon, seems fine with 260kw where as the stock pipe used to suck closed on less than 200kw

Thanks though, will keep an eye out

If you are running no BOV at all the longer the intake the less bad the reversion will be as it will be buffered over a long time, you will still get it, it just might not be bad enough to stall the motor.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
