this afternoon i was just playing around with my bov and adjusted too loose and the cap flew off.. and a few pieces flew out.. spring and cap thingy.. luckily the bonnet was open and i picked the pieces up (spring, metal bottle cap thingy) and screwed them back in.. afterwards i've been experiencing a rough idle and it seems to want to stall.. am i missing a few pieces on my bov?? i've been told i might have a leaking bov.. how might i fix it? Thanks

btw this is on an sr20det 180sx

have you got the pieces around the wrong way, i did this to my bov aswell unscrewed it too much and it went everywere and I put it back the wrong way so the gold bit that moves up and down was up the wrong way

if thats not the cause have you tightened it enough? , and no your not missing anything

mine had BOV spring , BOV copper gold thing(botle cap) , the top and the bottom ,

failure to that you may have damaged/ bent your spring? does it look ****ed?

i eventually put my stock bOv back on becuase the aftermarket was shit

not sure if its the same on a 180 but the r33 stock bov is mint

give me a PM if its not it and ill try and figure it out by looking at mine for u/ le tme know how u faired

air travels up on bov's

INTAKE

as air reverts back out it forces the cap thing up via air pressure and lets it out as the spring counteracts , so if you have in fact inversed it (flipped it) then its letting out air without any resistance e.g if cap is at top spring at bottom

the more air it lets out the less is going back towards the turbo , i didnt really notice any difference between tightening it / loosesning it , i would tigten it on a scale of 1 - 100

1% being loose and the top blowing off

100% tight as can make it

on the line it was about 70% i found it the best

so tight just not super tight

seems to do both release air + make a nice noise tight noise not fluttery

thatway you know its releasing it in 1 go not little bitts (fluttery)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
