stock bov


Recommended Posts

Hmm.. SAFC.. then it's a totally different story.. :lol:

I've got an aftermarket bov with a stock computer and no

addons. It still did stall on low revs, but that was fixed simply

by just increasing the idle abit. Sits at about 900rpms now.

nissanpower, eaeahh thanks... :crazy: where bouts?

Most of the sky's have a pretty high idle anyways don't they? Mine hasn't stalled with a turbosmart type 3, i think my idle is about 800. Just block the return pipe an it'll be sweet!

I was considering disconnecting the return pipe on the stock bov to avoid defects, and its a pretty good budget bov too!:P

a piece of broom stick or a film cannister works well, i had a film cannister in there for a few a week....pretty dangerous though, could have melt.

Hey Eric, guess where i put the plug for my type 3 BOV??? INSIDE THE BOV! When it came with the adaptor it was inside the adapter hole, so i thought thats where it went. I went to turbo smart head office and complained my BOV was soundin funny. When they saw the plug fluttering up and down in the bov they brought all the staff outa the office to see wat i did. :lol:

hahaha

i plugged the hose with a water bottle top.. just to test it..

fits perfectly

and went for a little run..makes a nice sound..flat..sneezing sound.. but keeps stalling on low gear..

and than came back.. lift up the hoodd.. and it stank.. hhaha

doo all vent to atmo bov's smell?? also made weird noise..

so i just put everything back together and hope theres nothing wrong..

oh yeah and seems to be leaking abit too

sh*t

hahhaee yeah i think i plugged it back right.. just roll the hose back on and clamp it..

hmm maybe the smell coming from the optimax.. i heard some people say optimax has farty smell.. loll and some of my friends say the car kinda smells too..

hahee hey how can i make my idle higher??

    • That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers, 
    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D? 
    • I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
