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

      It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Bear in mind RBs tend to be pretty terrible for fuel economy and it heavily depends on driving style. In my experience with a heavy-ass turbo Stagea the 10l/100km is really just ideal conditions highway driving. Start-stop in the city is killer and it ends up being 16-19l/100km easily. I keep track of it every time I get fuel and it is never pretty. There are a few topics in the forums where people share their fuel economy if you want to get some ideas of what it can be like. I don't think it is worth that much to compare though because it depends so much on the driving.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
