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.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
