Pod Filter Install, Possible Bov Issues

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?

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
