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?

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?

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.

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.

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

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?

Best post I have seen in a while.

Explains so much. So elegantly.

But still unsure if it is him?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
