I can see how the overfueling would be caused by having no bov if you are still running the standard ecu. However that would only cause an issue at low throttle/idle/decel, as that is when the ecu would be expecting the bov to be leaking air. If you have an issue throughout the whole fuel map (ie. accelerating), I think that will be because of the aftermarket plenum and turbo. The stock ecu runs rich as all hell when you start messing with the intake. I bet if you restored the factory bov setup, you would still have overfueling issues.

Either way, both those issues can be solved by a tune. I think your next step should be to get a tune-able ecu installed and get it on the dyno, your tuner will quickly be able to identify if the problem is just in your maps or if you have an underlying issue.

hanaldo... my problem is only on idle/decel so its possible but im going to wait till i get my vipec and tune around it.yes this is my next step to put a tunable ecu on it and i have come to realise this could/probably will help solve my issue and seeing as though i am planning on doing it anyway ill just wait till then. i see how the bov/bypass valve can cause it as well but like i said before i think ill just wait for the computer now afm is standard and i have tried another and no difference, the vipec has a map sensor so i wont have any reversions problems or any other possible afm related issues.

craved... injectors and fpr are standard for the time being i have some 740's to put in ad i have a surge tank with 044 i just need to hook up for when i get the ecu and im planning on keeping the fuel pressure standard as i doubt ill need higher at the power level im aiming for...

thanks for the replies guys

supporting mods are front mount intercooler and exhaust and thats bout it at the moment

Is this what it does??

I don't think it's the bov, my money is on the cold idle control valve. Not the same as the AAC valve just by the way, but it's near it. The cold idle control valve is much like a thermostat, it's a piece of thin coiled wire that expands when it gets hot to block the vacuum line. It's very easy to break, and if it get's stuck open then the vacuum line will be constantly open and act like a vacuum leak when the car is hot.

The valve is on a vacuum line coming off the AAC, so try blocking these lines to see if it changes anything. Also try running the car with the AFM unplugged. Try things to change it's symptoms so you can narrow it down.

my r33 seems to have unstable idle when after warmup.

where exactly is the thin wire coil? is the vac line coming out from the bottom of the AAC unit to the air regulator?

thanks

that is what i blocked off to stop the hunting so me thinks this is it

once i got round to it i put afm in cooler piping just before throttle body and is fixed.. waiting for vipec, not driving as afm is duct taped to throttle body and lovely cut & shut extension wiring for afm atm thanks for ur help peeps. thumbsup.gif

    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad. 
    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
