50 Atmo 50 Plumback?

[Modena]

I have a GFB BOV that can have 50 50 setting... will that stop the car from stalling?

[R31Nismoid]

More than likely not

[Modena]

More than likely not

But in theory it should due to some of the air running back into the engine and not getting dumped into the atmosphere?

Ill play with this and get back. This whole "pshhht sick uleh" shit is bit annoying considering the car is not as reliable as its with a stock bov.

GFB hybrid was installed on my car for years, no issues with stalling from it, full atmo was swapped and i had that issue.. it will be better than a full atmo.

I had one not bad but got sick of the PSSSSSHT very quickly.

So no stalling at all on 50 50? Cos I been driving with it for a few days now and it stalled completely once when I was idling... and then also had these small "set backs" like when I pushed the throttle and it just stalled for half a sec then let go and was fine again... this really pisses me off.

no stalling at all related to the 50,50 setup i had.

each car is different though, they are worse than people sometimes lol

thanks dude... ill give it a go this week.

PS love the pod suction noise and flutter... did u lose any of that? how did she sound on 50 50?

[Craved]

sounded like any other atmo PSSCHHTT bov .. no difference

maybe wasn't as loud would be about it.

Was it the stealth fx BOV??

I so want that bov.. Best soundin one i have heard..

What does your sounds like on just plumback??

[Cake]

should run ok half atmo half plumb-back... stalling really depends how you drive the car, just don't put the clutch in and let the revs fall right down after the bov has just vented.

[lordsnipe]

i've got a stealthfx .. on about 60/40 cos i don't want it too loud .. i have no stalling issues whatsoever . .even if i put in the clutch and let the revs fall.

if you are getting stalling, adjust the spring tension by twisting the cap only. that will make the bov close sooner and should get rid of your stalling issues.

no its GFB Hybrid... u can have 50 atmo 50 plumback setting.

my mate has Stealth FX on his s15... it sounds the best like u said... the flutter down low and awesome water splash when giving it!

[LatinR33]

well the flutter on a skyline is compressor surge not such a good thing to have if you value the life of the turbo. the 50/50 set up should be fine.

I still get a flutter (gfb hybrid on 50/50) noise on low boost but thats coming from the bov it self as piston slides up and down.

When i took the bov off it fluttered in a different way.

yeah its the BOV fluttering and it says that its OK for flutter at low RPM in the booklet.

at high rpm it whistles!

also look at VL turbos... they have no bov... and their turbos seemed to last for years.

u just connect the hose to the plumback trumpet right and vent the atmo plug yeh?

[Craved]

one pointing towrds you and is round, put hose over that to the std plumb back piping..

the other is a trumpet and you leave it alone.

just have to swivel the bov on the adapter so its in the right position..

edit : use hose clamps
