G'day guys, so I went and seen a guy he said my problem was that off of the stock bov because I didn't have the piping that went to where ever it goes was missing that's what was making it run rich, is this correct, I can't see how it would make any difference.

Cheers.

Its very possible.

In short. Afm measures air coming in so ecu knows how much fuel to add.

But when bov releases air the ecu doesnt know this and still throws all the fuel in so it creates a rich condition therefor uses excess fuel

  • 2 weeks later...

If the stock bob was venting to the atmosphere, and was done so be simply removing the plumback pipe, then yes that will make it run rich as the stock bov has a hole that permanently lets it bleed air off. Might be worth taking the bov of and checking to see if the hole was blocked.

G'day guys new here, have a question for you guys, a lot of the skizza drivers where I live are to snobby to talk to me, so the problem is I only get 277km to a tank on 98, I've replaced the fuel reg, oxy sensor, cleaned the AAC vavle, blew the lines, what els could be contributing to this?

Cheers, Aus.

LOL you're blessed! I get only 180km per tank :/

Wow, I get 500km per 50l, I baby the car though, just got front mount and exhaust, but yeah you guys must be really getting smashed with these petrol prices. I get roughly the same km on the worst or best fuel economy wise.

That's what i'm after! Even if i baby the car (which is hard) i'd get 420 maybe? I've had the 33 for 5ish months now, i have new genuine coil packs, new sparks and oil. Yet to do fuel filter, other oils, and o2 sensor. Hope it improves after that.

You are probably losing a large percentage of your economy by those little squirts that you don;t really need to do, when I say I'm babying it, I mean I shift at 2200 rpm, 30% throttle so neg boost, roll down hills, lights and roundabouts, I know it's not really practical for most people to drive like that but yeah, just trying to get 2 weeks out of a tank, to and from work, 6 days a week, HEAPS better economy than the elgrand I had, but driving pretty much as slow haha.

I would suggest to do a 100k service and check all your piping.

I used to be lucky if i can get 300km out of my 34gtt while babying it.

Replaced the sparkies, coil pack, belts, oil, o2 sensor, waterpump etc etc....reset the computer and now with babying i can get over 500 a tank (my maths being i was babying it till the half way mark and i did 275kms - not the most accurate but will do hehe)

Makes all the difference in the world as the stock BOV constantly bleeds air, so your car's ECU is constantly accounting for air that's not even being ingested by the motor. This will lead to it running rich off boost etc..

Also is the return line blocked off at least?

Milan: I don't see why a 100k service would help much? The previous owner has had my timing belt changed with receipts, by UltraTune though, cost the owner $490 back in Oct 2010.

The car has no leaks (rocker cover was leaking now great). I have noticed that after changing my coil packs and spark plugs the car runs a lot smoother e.g. 3rd gear doing 70km/h at 3000ish rpm, i thought i was in 5th because engine noise was so low and smooth, before it used to scream just a little louder. I got 450ks to the tank this week but i had an extra 8L added 2 days ago(helped for 80kms i think), when i filled up today i put in 58L! Gonna check how far this goes, will try to drive normally... :rolleyes: .

John: So i should get my stock bov piping checked?

hi, i was getting under 300kms per tank as well, i now get just over 500 around town, the only things i did was put a new coolant temp sensor in (same as n15 pulsar) and i put dielectric grease on the top of spark plugs and coilpack springs (clean the bottom of the spring with some 400 grit sandpaper first). Hope this helps!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
