JIMIH..

With a external venting bov like the one that you got, it will stall no matter what you do.

If you tighten it a bit, it might stall less, but it will still stall or almost stall after it blows off due to the whole air flow meter issue.

To Tighten the GFB Mach 1, there is a screw on top. If you turn it clockwise, it will tighten it and push the piston a little lower so that it is completely closed during idle.

But your car will probably still stall in a situation like slowing down to a set of traffic lights or something.

If you are in sydney, and you want help then let me know..

I can help tighten it or whatever...

I've got a plumb back GFB bov on my car. It's briliant. No stalling, heaps better response when accelerating.. and a nice muffled khhhhhhh type sound through the pod filter during gear changes.

If you can still return it, and you want the psshhhtt sound, then see if you can excahange (with money on top) for a Hybrid BOV..

this way you will get the sound and no stalling.

cheers for that :)

i'm in Perth but I tightened it and it doesnt do it as much now ... I can sort of keep the revs up a little as I'm slowing down to the lights to keep it from stalling.

It's not as bad as it sounds, but it's just a little annoying sometimes ie. if you stall it in front of a group of people :)

My car used to stall too... It may be the BOV or bad tuning(e.g. air/fuel ratio,do u have a SAFC??)..

Anyway my POINT is it is REALLY DANGEROUS.... My car stalled once when it was raining and my car spinned 180 and skidded some distance and nearly hit another car...Imagine if it hit a passerby.... Lucky me!!!

I suggest u either solve the prob or change the BOV..... :cool:

I've heard that 'lines are very sensitive to externally venting BOV's so I got one of those GFB hybrids that plumbs back some air and vents the rest. Works awesome even with light spring pressure and it has never stalled, plus it's not too ricey. In fact the car runs better than with the factory valve, I think it must've been leaking or something

From memory I think one of the features of the SAFC is to allow for an atmo venting BOV.

Yeah here is the quote from the Apexi USA website:

" On hot-wire vehicles, the Deceleration Air Flow Correction function is capable of curing the erratic idle and stall problems associated with open-atmosphere blow-off valves on hot-wire air-flow meter systems."

Taken from here:

So don't keep stalling, invest in a SAFC today. I'd also assume the PowerFC can do this as well but I've never looked into it....

I tried setting that but it does nothing!

i used to have problems with my car stalling... however it was due to the afm. Its rather "exciting" when the car stalls infront of incoming traffic in an 80 zone...especially when you needed a new battery as well and when you tried to restart the car it would not crank over!!////:dump:

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
