Problems With Hks Ssqv

[thanglongz]

Hey all,

need help. Tried installing a HKS SSQV to the rb20 in an AUTO where the mount for the stock BOV is located. Blocked off the return hose and connected all lthe necessary hoses. But when it came to driving (read:crusing) it jsut stalled when ever the revs were changed below 3,000rpm. You could jsut hear the BOV releasing then the engine jsut shuts off.

The seller off SAU tried resetting the ECU via Disconneting the battery and all but the stalling continued. ALl means were considered but need more info and help.

Any tips be great cheers all!!

Err I'm not sure how a BOV is suppose to work on an auto but with a manaul it lets off when you let off the gas, i.e when throttle body is closing.

So hows it suppose to let off if you just keep your foot on the accelerator? Maybe that has something to do with it.

atmo BOV should work fine on auto.. I ran a blitz for a little while and had no probs.

You might want to try and adjust the spring tension on the valve so it opens easier under low rpm, BOV's on autos can regularly cause stalling if not adjusted properly

Just keep adjusting it and rev it to 3000rpm and if it goes back to idle without stalling or struggling it should be fine

What boost you running?

Thanks for all your imput guys. So you reckon adjusting the spring tension would help?? Ill try that and im running stock boost at the moment

Sorry to hijack thread but.. when you switch from a plumb back to atmo blow off valve, does it not play havoc with the air flow meter taking into account having the plumb back, with the a/f mixtures? Like mine, when i disconnect the plumb back hose the idle is really rough... stalling occasionally..

Ruf idle with atmo bov's are normal and can be fixed with electronic idle controlls like the ones HKS release etc.

Changing to atmo does not affect afm.

[Josh]

Makes sense..

What I meant was the afm has inbuilt compensations for the air coming back through the plumback, when you take the plumback away the mixtures aren't right because of those compensations..

So yeh - the electronic means to fix that would probably have something to do with that... right?

Tnanks for the helpful advice, reckon gettin the HKS EIDS is teh way. But my mate is running an atmo BOV on his auto, retaining the stock BOV, and using the cooling pipe near the Air Box. Is this a simple soluyion or will it have a future effect?!?!

cheers all
