Hello.

I just got my Stagea last week and I'm rapt with it. I've put a turbo back 3" exhaust on, an Apexi Power Intake and a GFB BOV. I just installed an RSM today.

I have a weird problem. It seems that when I put the foot down and then come to a complete stop the engine will die. It happened twice today when I pulled out of a carpark put the foot down to go up a hill then stop at the top for a roundabout. It's an auto. Has anyone else experienced this? Why is it so? My car has only done 34000ks.

Please help.

Thanks.

Zane.

Hi Zane, you can't have a open to atmosphere BOV. The ECU knows how much air goes into the engine via the AFM, so it squirts in the right amount of fuel for that air. But the BOV lets a whole pile of that air escape, so the ECU squirts in too much fuel when the BOV is open. Bingo, too rich a mixture and the engine stalls. Get a plumb back BOV and all will be well again. I have never found anything wrong with the standard BOV, so I have and will not be changing it on my Stagea.

Hope that helps:cheers:

My BOV is a Hybrid valve. If I turn it further towards plumb back this should fix it aswell?

Also the other day when it stalled I put it into P so I could start it again but my car was still rolling a bit. It started making this shocking noise. Kinda like when you do your diff. I stopped and put it back into D and it went O.K. Would I have done any major damage? Feckin' hope not.

I had a feeling that may have been what it was. If I buy an SAFC-2 that should fix my problems yeah?

Thanks for the help

Nope, the SAFC has no ability to adjust zero throttle richness.:P

Yep around 60% or more plumb back will help, assuming it is physically plumbed back of couse.

Oooops, auto gearboxes have a lock on the output shaft so that when you put them into Park the car doesn't roll. Hopefully you didn't break off the locking pin. Easy to check, just put it in Park on hill, when you are stopped of course, and make sure it doesn't roll.

When moving, Neutral is the place to restart the engine.

Thanks for your help mate. My mechanic just told me the same thing. I have just had a boost gauge installed. I noticed that boost is around 5psi then goes up to 10psi at around 4500 revs for a little while then it drops back to 5psi until redline. Is this normal?

I think the SAFC II model has the feature to adjust the fuelling mix as it returns to idle. This is to stop the overfueling that happens and stablize the idle. The earlier editions didn't have this feature. It must have been a feature added purely for the addition of externally venting BOV's.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
