Atmo Blow off valve + stock ECU (without tune) is a recipe for disaster (running rich, stalling etc).

Without a functioning cat, you will find alot of black soot on your bumper, I hope you look forward to cleaning it regularly.

I'll hazard a guess that this is your problem, too.

Essentially, the stock rb20 has a pipe that recirculates the released from the BOV back into the intake to be reused. When you remove the pipe or run an atmo BOV, your ecu still thinks the air being released back into your intake and adjusts the air/fuel ratio accordingly. Regardless if the air is there or not it will distribute the fuel, which is why it's running rich. Too much fuel for the amount of air going back in.

The remedies are either getting a stock bov and recirculating pipe or getting your car tuned for the new BOV, from which it will no longer make the assumption that the air released by the BOV is going back into the intake.

Rhank you very much that is exactly what I wanted to hear hahaha

So is it a serious problem or not ?

As I mentioned in my above post, take the appropriate measures to correct it and you will be fine.

It's not serious but if you don't want your car to run like a pig than I'd reccomend fixing it.

Sorry to hijack, but i have a 260rs (R33 GTR) stagea and it has twin atmo BOV, stock ECU, aftermarket boost controller, SAFC, turbo back exhaust system and everything else is stock.

The SAFC is set to default settings (no adjustments have been made, just in read mode). And i get heaps of soot on my tailgate, a bugger to clean.

Anyway i am wondering where the stock BOV is located, and also where the plumb back hoses/s are and go. I have an R33 GTS-T and that is very different in its setup.
