some suggestions as to where i might have a leak (common places)?

:dry:

That pipe, from the return line on your BOV.

Put some duct tape over it (Alot) and I bet it goes away. Then, go buy a new return line.

i had this same issue.... but i had aftermarket turbo q45 afm etc. wat it was is when 20psi of boosted air was being pushed into the intake infront of the turbo it was forcing air back out of the intake aka backwards through the afm..... which basically mean night night when clutch is depressed after u left off the throttle and valves open up. now i run 2 stock valves (modified) and i would doubt ur 1 stock valve would have the capacity to cause this kind of a problem but check it neways mate cant hurt.

went back to stock for a bit but just put a greddy bov on

have found that it will work fine if the bov closes fully on idle, but for some reason its opening slightly, as if it has to much vacum

if i hold it closed and just give it a bit of revs and let it drop back to idle it idles fine

any ideas on how i can reduce the vacum? dont really want to make it any harder as its close to the point were it will frequently give me compressor surge

I'm not sure if this will help but I had something similar in my series 1 r33 gtst stock cept for a Turbosmart s2 BOV and K&N air filter.

It would stall when pulling up to lights.

My mechanic said it was the air filter getting blocked, not enough air getting through. I got my air filter cleaned and the problem has stopped.

Might be worth cleaning/replacing your air filter

ill give that a go

had a play with it last night, hooked my bov up to where my fuel regulator (i think thats wat it is anyway) is hooked up and just left the hole where u usually hook the bov up to on the plenum open so it had a vacum leak basically and it idled perfectly..... so my idea and i dont think its a very good one is to t-piece off the fuel reg or watever i used last night and make a line to go to the bov from there and then i dunno wat ill do with the other hole, as soon as i blocked it off though with my bov running to the front hole in the plenum it would stall so it would only work when it had a vacum leak....

ideas?

haha yeh, i think its just the fact that its leaking vacum so its not trying to pull the bov up therefore its not opening that little bit that makes it stall

going to do the sensible thing and see if i can make it recurculate by making a replacement for the trumpet, dont believe i will lose much sound this way (?) and it will be legal and should hopefully idle right

just so i know, can anyone verify that it will idle fine if the bov is open a bit on idle if its on recirculate? im thinking it will but will be nice to know before doing it to save troubles.

Thanks

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
