yep now where getting somewhere

some of lambos questions answered

Does those BOV that vent excess air when the throttle is shut affect the air fuel ratio?

Yes because the ecu has accounted for that air as being already in the engine

Since the throttle is shut the air getting into the engine should be the same even without the BOV.

No because the would get in when the throttle is re opened and the throttle is never completely closed the motor needs air to burn the fuel

Isn't the job of the BOV is to pretect the intake turbine from blow back pressure from shutting the throttle abruptly.

Yes and to protect the turbo from spinning backwards in the case of a backfire

Can we fix the Bov so that it comes before the AFM?

Is it even possible?

No the ecu would read the air eneering the engine twice causing a very over rich state

I do not understand how the return BOV works. If it return the excess air back into the intake doesn't it defeat the purpose of having a bov to relief the back pressure from sudden shut of the throttle?

It simply removes the pressure between the throttle butterfly and the turbo outlet on the compressor side of the turbo by putting that pressure on the inlet side between the turbo and the afm

Anyone knows about those return BOV that vent gas back? and the above post also

lambo I’m not quite sure what you mean by this question

Lambo short of replacing the ecu the only fix for the problem is by adjusting the air bypass valve at the back of the inlet as I stated in my post on the first page.

AFM sux? So, you get your fuel for free then? I like AFM's. If you need more power than the one you're using can handle, just get a bigger/better one with more resolution. MAP will almost always use more fuel than AFM with everything else equal.

yeah.... AFM's are the most accurate way of measuring, so youdo get better fuel economy, and there are some cars with good horse power still using AFM's.... I have MAP, and it's not bad, a bit rougher than the AFM, but it's all good :rolleyes:

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
