I got a blitz none plumb back and it does stall sumtimes but i have got used to it so i can prevent it stalling. Its funny tho when sum1 else goes to drive it and they keep stallin it!

JIMIH..

With a external venting bov like the one that you got, it will stall no matter what you do.

If you tighten it a bit, it might stall less, but it will still stall or almost stall after it blows off due to the whole air flow meter issue.

To Tighten the GFB Mach 1, there is a screw on top. If you turn it clockwise, it will tighten it and push the piston a little lower so that it is completely closed during idle.

But your car will probably still stall in a situation like slowing down to a set of traffic lights or something.

If you are in sydney, and you want help then let me know..

I can help tighten it or whatever...

I've got a plumb back GFB bov on my car. It's briliant. No stalling, heaps better response when accelerating.. and a nice muffled khhhhhhh type sound through the pod filter during gear changes.

If you can still return it, and you want the psshhhtt sound, then see if you can excahange (with money on top) for a Hybrid BOV..

this way you will get the sound and no stalling.

cheers for that :)

i'm in Perth but I tightened it and it doesnt do it as much now ... I can sort of keep the revs up a little as I'm slowing down to the lights to keep it from stalling.

It's not as bad as it sounds, but it's just a little annoying sometimes ie. if you stall it in front of a group of people :)

My car used to stall too... It may be the BOV or bad tuning(e.g. air/fuel ratio,do u have a SAFC??)..

Anyway my POINT is it is REALLY DANGEROUS.... My car stalled once when it was raining and my car spinned 180 and skidded some distance and nearly hit another car...Imagine if it hit a passerby.... Lucky me!!!

I suggest u either solve the prob or change the BOV..... :cool:

I've heard that 'lines are very sensitive to externally venting BOV's so I got one of those GFB hybrids that plumbs back some air and vents the rest. Works awesome even with light spring pressure and it has never stalled, plus it's not too ricey. In fact the car runs better than with the factory valve, I think it must've been leaking or something

From memory I think one of the features of the SAFC is to allow for an atmo venting BOV.

Yeah here is the quote from the Apexi USA website:

" On hot-wire vehicles, the Deceleration Air Flow Correction function is capable of curing the erratic idle and stall problems associated with open-atmosphere blow-off valves on hot-wire air-flow meter systems."

Taken from here:

So don't keep stalling, invest in a SAFC today. I'd also assume the PowerFC can do this as well but I've never looked into it....

I tried setting that but it does nothing!

i used to have problems with my car stalling... however it was due to the afm. Its rather "exciting" when the car stalls infront of incoming traffic in an 80 zone...especially when you needed a new battery as well and when you tried to restart the car it would not crank over!!////:dump:

      Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf

      yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
