yeah it will stall....

even with a full block off plate in the bov (for fulleh sik flutterz) it will stall.

at low rpm, like braking to turn a right angle corner across lanes slow speed etc. aftermarket bov or blocked bov will stall with the auto.....

so.. what to do?

grab a piece of metal, thicker than a coke can preferably.

grab the bov gasket, and cut metal to shape. Im using some .5mm thick aluminium plate.

so cut to shape, drill 2x bolt holes, then with smaller drill bit drill a couple of small airflow holes - circular like in the centre for some minor airflow

install nice and tight

test drive, you'll still have the bov, but it will flutter a bit, boost feels "tighter" (?),

because it isnt entirely blocked off it wont ever stall but sounds pretty cool (just like a $200 aftermarket bov, tried that) and boost pressure seems to be slightly more "on tap" than previously

wife loves it, hated it when she stalled it, so I drilled the little holes in the middle of the block off plate and now it doesnt stall but flutters very nicely indeed :P hektic-br0

ahh ok cool....so jus get a blanking plate...and install one of them....but make sure i put some small holes in the middle of it so it has some air flow to stop the stalling???

yes!!

coke can will do, but thicker metal seems less dodgy to me :P

my centre-drilled bov block off plate is nicely filed and machined, 30min home project after a few bongs ey? !

hi

i am confused what you want to do?

a) make the car make bov noises?

b) fit a different bov?

c) make it flutter ?

if a, fit a pod filter, the std GTST already has a bov

if b, change the bov to a different one, just dont go for an AMTO venting one, that will make the car stall

if c, block the std bov off as Tangles has said, that will make it surge and flutter

the stalling occurs when using an AMTO setup, that is, you dump the bov'd to the atmosphere

on auto paul even with full plumback ater-market bov it will stall

with blocked bov it will stall

only ever occasionally but will do

so you do the bov backing plate, put some small holes thru the centre of it, and it wont stall, but will be like option ©

Brendo, you FAIL :thumbsup:

Blocked bov, havent stalled it yet! Rev's hunt if i am WOT thru 1-3 then stomp on the brakes(eg, fwy :laugh: )

i blocked mine to see if my FMIC would make good sounds, its shit, so unblocking it.

even if it does stall, if you can drive with webbers, you can drive a car with an atmo or blocked bov

Had no probs on the rally car with atmo BOV and it runs AFM. Used to with the old Blitz but changed it to a GFB Stealth and set to full atmo and no probs. Used to stall with the blitz as the piston wasn't closing so had to continually stab the throttle when braking to a stop. Was no probs though.

Was thinking of taking the Stealth off the Mazda to put on the GTR cos you can vent just enough air back to the inlet to stop the stalling but still get the sound of the atmo BOV. Dunno yet if I'll do it but might be fun for a while, I do miss the sound it makes.

i have been told stalling issues will occur.

however i have a megasonic on my r33 manual. it does not stall.

it only stalls if i have the a/c going and when i change gears. but, if i change gears at a normal pace it stays alive. but it i change gears slow and let the revs go down, it will stay down and stall.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
