BOV Overfuelling Problem Fixed

G'day guys,

Came up with an idea that I have tested and works.

For all you people who have externally vented BOV it will stop your over fuelling and stalling.

What I did was run both the stock and an aftermarket BOV. I found that the aftermarket BOV was not venting as the stock valve was letting all of the air out before it reached the aftermarket one.

To alleviate this problem I placed a thin metal plate of the mounting for the original BOV (whre gasket is), then I drilled a drilled holes in the plate so it would limit the air going through the stock valve. This inturn let the stock valve vent under low boost back to the intake to stop the engine over fuelling. But when you hit full boost the aftermarket blows out a majority of the whilst the stock valve only lets out a small amount of pressure.

And if you call now, you will receive 2 packets of 2 minute noodles free!!!!!!

Thought this would help.

I pulled the peice of aluminium of a old camera that I was going to throw out. I drilled a hole with a size 12 dowel drill bit.

I am thinking of even going to a size 10 to see how it goes. Go samll and make the hole larger for your needs.

Just curious, but say you still have the stock BOV fitted and want to 'upgrade' Would it not be a good idea to shop around for a Hybrid kind BOV that vents both to Atmo and internally? You may not get as loud a "Pssssht" sound I suppose, but wouldn't that contribute to eliminating the mixture issue?

Also, would a SAFC correct the issue if you had a pure atmo BOV?

yes, an aftermarket computer will fix the iddle problem; such as S-AFC (even the early model AFC will do the job), Power FC. or you even can spend some money on iddle stablizer (not expensive though..), depands which way you want to go consider the $$ issue.

yes, you can get the hybrid of BOV, but chance is you don't like the sound, i.e. I like the sound comes from Blitz BOV, so I will try to have it installed and try to have stable iddle. btw, don't you know the blitz BOV will increasing 10rwkw? just j/k :mad:

This is basically for a mod for people who have externally vented BOV and have the shits all the time with bad idle, stalling, flame throwing etc. If you have a aftermarket plumbback no need the do this.

Beleive me, this works or not if you like stalling:D

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Kip · Posted

      Thanks, Duncan. This is good info. The pipe is 3+" in diameter. I assume the cat is the biggest flow impediment right now. Then again, the fiberglass packing came shooting out of the car when I put it on the dyno, so I'm kind of de-catted at this point. I'm going to get under the car tomorrow to change the oil. I'm hoping I can scope out the downpipe and turbos.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Seats would really give the interior a huge makeover. And as it's a bogan cruise ship, you don't need hugging seats like a race seat, or material that'll hold you stupidly tight in the seat.   I say go for it. If minister won't approve a trip away, it'd probably be $650 return to ship the car down and back, just tell her it's at the mechanics, and woah, you don't know how the seats became leather!!!

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It really doesn't matter much who made it, unless if is obviously poorly routed or restrictive in a section; what matters is the nominal cross section. For most normal-medium power you go 3" from the cat back for a good combination of free flow and retaining ground clearance. Front and dump pipes are tricker to get in larger sizes and are the most common restriction

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Kip · Posted

      Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to throw some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.

      C34 RSFour V Build in the US

      By Kip · Posted

      Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?
