If its popping on decelleration or gear changes, whats the cause of that? the BOV?

see what i wrote:

thats called overrun

thats different to backfiring cause the engine is at high-ish revs, but there is no real load on the engine, and so it revs without using the accelerator

there is an excess of fuel in the burnt mixture because of the closed throttle, and when it hit the cat converter it mixes with a bit of oxygen and self ignites

thus the pop/gurgle/burping noise

backfiring is like a full on ignition of fuel/air mixture partially in the engine and in the exhaust - thats why its loud and bad for your engine

so the so called overrun ain't bad for ur engine? cuz i have that exact described issue "overrun" like QUITE OFTEN during driving which i really think the BOV is the cause for cuz other than that i have just a catback exhaust (with stock cat convertor) and it overruns very often. One more thing, it occurs at low RPM like around 2-3k rpm ... stilll is overrun?

BTW: sorry to borrow the n/a thread like dis as wat i said about BOV has nothing to do with the thread starters issue obviously

hmm, maybe your issue is more over fueling and not burning all of the fuel properly

i would look at maybe getting the Oxygen sensor changed, getting the timing checked, really, just checking out the fuel delivery system to make sure it is all good and that all sensors are working properly..

absolutely right r33turbo. vta bov's do make the car backfire...purely because thats what they do. when i switch back to plumb back....all my pops are solved...but not as aggressive to drive.

my vta bov has a larger diameter valve. hence more air can get out. with it on, i chirp 3rd.

its gives better response imo

stock bov does shit all. probably leaks etc

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
