BOV; Stalling issue workaround

[dominoy2k1]

damn anyone want to sponser me and get me a microtech?

 

[igdrasil]

I solved my stalling the first time by moving the MAF further from the turbo. No more stalling.

Now I bought a Microtech, and I no longer need the MAF

how far?

 

[GOTZOOM?]

At least 24 inches

 

[dominoy2k1]

damn i got mine pretty far, about 2ft but i still had stalling....(shrug)...oh also ig...(cheers) (drinks)

 

[igdrasil]

thanks to you domino...

 

[promp3]

i will deff try this as soon as i get home i was thinking there was a stop on the butterfly rotor but thats exactly what i was looking for my car idels low anyway around 600... damn I love you guys

 

[dominoy2k1]

alright more testing, the only way i got the car to stall was to shift into neutral right when bov was going off...but other than that its pimp, really smooth, and no stalling....

u guys all running aftermarket bovs? i wanna try it wit my stock bpv. The night before i unhooked the recirculting hose and its atmospeheric, went for a ride and it sounded like a regalur bov, but same problems wit stalling and lag. Whts the worst tht can happen if i idle?

 

[igdrasil]

mine doesnt stall at all in any situation...

it lowers its rpms to 500 if I rev it up to neutral and let off, but will not stall...

i will take a video

i just tried it with my stock bpv. It doesn't stall even when coasting in neutral.
Whts the leaking sound when u loosen the idle bolt?
oh and wuts are normal rpm range we sit at? cuz i wanna put it back to normal.

I used this screw, its in red:

The idle screw did absolutely nothing as within a few minutes the ECu just overides the damn thing anyways.

The screw I circiled actualy holds the TB butterfly open. I assume its a stop point screw. My last resort if swapping my alternator back to factory doesn't work is to drill a hole in the butterfly.

 

[igdrasil]

normal rpms are between 700-800.
I took the video, soon will be posting it, maybe at night, since im going vacation this weekend.
My car doesnt stall at all.

unless its very cold (cold idle) it will drop rpms to 500, but will not stall at all.

igdrasil: which one did you do? adjust the TB screw or move the MAF?

k the bpv sounds good and everything but its running rich becuz i can now smell the fuel, where before it was normal. And lag, hope doin all this doesn't screw up the ecu flash i had on it.

 

[dominoy2k1]

umm i dont think you should have been moving unless you had an aftermarket bov, also damn 1st how you move that bolt..i couldnt move it for s***...

So, this wont work on the stock MSP BPV? I would be interested in getting a BOV, but I want to make sure you have everything working right. I dont like the idea of my car idling at 1,500 rpm's though like the video shows...

 

[dominoy2k1]

thats wierd cause my car idles at around 8-900 not 1.5...umm i wasnt aware msp where having problems with stock bpv, its a recirculating one so there should be no problem..(shrug)

Loosening the stop nut is a good start
