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?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
