Pod Filter Install, Possible Bov Issues

[Treebeard]

Hey guys, so I've installed a pod to my r33 s1 and ripped off the snorkel and replaced it with silicone and aluminium piping. Obviously this means that the BOV is no longer plumbed in. When I start it up it is him?

[Blackkers]

You should really have it plumbed in. It is possible to go without however you can get issues with stalling, backfiring and fouled spark plugs. Not to mention shithouse fuel economy.

Show us a picture?

Hey?

And I never had any problems with bad fuel economy from bov to no bov. Ran 2 weeks back to back with no difference.

I'm also using a metal intake pipe

I dont understans. You started this thread but dont have a problem?

If your car uses standard ECU then your fuel economy will be worse. No 2 ways about it. There is air being metered and then not going into the engine, but the engine still adds fuel expecting that air.

If you have an upgraded ECU then it may have been tuned to iron the issue out

Can you explain that better?

You just said the ecu will add fuel reguard less of whether the afm sees air or not. So you have contradicted your first senstance.

IF YOU HAVE AN UPGRADED ECU

Caps were a bit much but couldnt underline the bit in my post

[Trex]

haha

but the engine still adds fuel expecting that air.

This is the part that i don't understand.

You said the ecu still adds the fuel reguardless whether it sees the air or not via the afm. But you also said that it will run rich...

My understanding and real world practices show me it doesn't make ANY difference to fuel consumption whether you're using a bov or not.

The afm will still log air after the throttle is cut, it will be in short bursts, but it will still log it.

[Blackkers]

stagea97 I don't think you understand the issue properly...

[Trex]

Explain it to me then.

[Blackkers]

you missread what 89CAL wrote.

the AFM measures air which is then vented. The ECU doesn't know its been vented and adds fuel. this causes the problems we were talking about.

it can be tuned for but it won't be perfect. Also many aftermarket ecu's calculate airflow rather than measuring it which eliminates this problem altogether

Illegal. Not aloud to vent anything to atmosphere.

You are venting air and the blowby. .

Yes it is him

[simpletool]

We'll this is quite the debate. I wonder if it's really him.

First up. Why you buy pod. You need pod or no need pod? I think you pod not need. It is him.

If pod you use then ECU go mental disease it add fuel for counting air but air disappear like magic. It isn't him.

Why not use the air box and metal intake pipe or silicon pipe with bob return fittings. Keep money in your pocket.

What you doing with cam cover gases?

Put back to stock ...no more him.

Best post I have seen in a while.

Explains so much. So elegantly.

But still unsure if it is him?

[GTSBoy]

Today it is him.

Tomorrow, perhaps it is not him.

[simpletool]

Two month go by, he rise again. It is him who cannot be spoken of.

[GTSBoy]

I didn't speak of him while he was away.
