Hey all

my R32 rb20det has been backfiring during gear shifts, not huge backfires just a small pop just as i take my foot off the throttle, i have recently had probs with bov's (when i bought my R32 it had 2 bov's, the stock one and a second HKS mounted near Airbox) i had busted the plastic nipple where the hose joins (this bov is pretty old, i think the whole setup is factory but have only seen one other R32 with same setup, possibly a factory extra?) i replaced the pipe that had the bov on with one that didnt leaving only the stock bov but still had same prob, i ended up repairing the HKS bov and put it back on the car but prob is still there and gettong more frequint.

any suggestions on how to fix prob or if the 2nd bov was a factory extra would be great

the hks one would have been fitted after....you should remove them both and get a new bov for the factory position, they arent expensive these days.

stock bovs arent much chop, and neither are the early hks ones, and running two bovs is a silly thing to do on an rb20, no need for it.

popping is due to richness, which if you have air leaking from one of the bovs it wont adj fuel to match the air loss. atmospheric bovs cause it to backfire, but if its only just started, id say you have a problem.

cheers

is your car auto by any chance?

the auto R32gtst's have this weird thing on the pipe that comes from the intercooler that joins up with the crossover pipe, at about the level of the airbox...

its like a little pipe that is blocked off with a rubber thing around it (bad description, i know...)

don't know why its there but it is on the auto's and the ex-owner may have used it to mount a bov

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
