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

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.

      Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.

      What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.

      Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.

      Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
