I think my atmo BOV might be causing the car to stall every now and then due to it leaking,

is it possible for the BOV to get dirt, etc in it that will cause it to close the valve

slower after blowing off pressure during a gear change.

I've tried to tighten the adjustment screw but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I've taken the BOV off and tested the spring pressure by pushing on it and it has quite a

bit off tension behind it.

A BOV can seize after a while due to all the carbon and shit that gets in it, but I dont think this will cause your car to stall. Your more likely to stall if your BOV is venting to atmosphere and tricking your AFM.

Plumb back your BOV, your car will run smoother with no stalls.

Happens even now and then after taken it out of gear, then braking for a red light, etc.

I was under the bonnet the other day and rev'd the car up a few times to see if the BOV

was closing properly. It didn't open and close straight away, it opened ok but closed in pulses instead

of one continuous movement.

??

do you have a type 2 turbo smart?

also check the size of the houses connected to the blow off..

the line from the blow off to the turbo should have a small hole, maybe try valving it or whatever...

but yeh thats all i can think of!

Its an atmo BOV, all plumback lines have been blocked up.

How is having it to tight making it pulse?

Because the spring tension is too much for the boost to release in one go. Back the adjustment off a turn or two and it wont pulse, but then if it leaks on boost you may have to tighten it a touch

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
