Bov Making Car Hunt?

Hi all.

Tried to search for the issue, but I didn't have much luck finding anything relating directly to my issue.

Car has a stock blow off valve, plumbed back. Decided to make a plate to block it off, you know for flutter/dose/compressor surge whatever you want to call it.

Car runs great, starts fine, idles fine, holds boost, flutters...

But if I am idling and rev it slightly, then take my foot off the throttle, it hunts for a while then goes back to idling fine. Sometimes it drops to 100-200 rpm, sometimes just to 600, stalled a couple times. It doesn't ALWAYS do it. It is mainly a concern when I am in traffic and need to move forward slightly. Black smoke also comes out the exhaust when hunting. Rich?

Is it because it was tuned with the plumb back blow off and it is expecting that air for idle and isn't receiving it? I have blocked the vacuum line going to the bov and the plumb back pipe. I haven't tried plumbing the bov back in and taking out the blanking plate. Will do that soon and report back.

It's because of the reverberation caused affecting the afm.

The ecu sees it as more airflow and adds fuel.

Flutters are not cool enough to put up with your car running shit.

Or plumb it back and live a happy life. :)

this...seems pretty simple to me mate...you changed something and it made it worse...

Now 'Im not the sharpest tool in the shed but i'd thunk the smart thing to do would be change it back ;)

Mine fluttered with an AFM, had the bov plumbed straight into the intake pipe at 90 degrees, not facing the turbo as recommended. Never had any issues

Mine didnt flutter like crazy because I softened the bov but when it did it was fine

If it flutters, the BOV is supposed to be blocked, doesn't matter if it is plumbed or not..

Yeahhhhh.... It will flutter blocked or with the BOV spring tightish. It isnt 'supposed' to be bocked

How do you tighten the BOV spring?

I didn't think the flutter would have have as much as effect as it did on my car, it is a low mount garret with a LARGE FMIC, and no forward facing plenum. So much frikken pipe work, wouldn't have thought it would have made it that far back..

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
