Mints s15 ^_^

[Topper]

Pewter S15's in Scotland are becoming so common, i think its time for me to sell up

Good to see you got those Headlight things off, looks better already, you still sporting that tasty spoiler?

 

[Yakozan]

Are you sure the wire thingy is not for some sort of EGT setup? The fitting looks to be the part.

I must agree.
That's some over-engineered piece of work if it's for boost.

I would put my money on EGT, or possibly a mechanical oil temp or pressure gauge. Get a electric gauge instead and you would only have to run a signal wire through the firewall instead of that AN3827 pipe-line

 

[mint]

indeed i think its actually a mechanical pressure gauge for oil pressure maybe???

The gauge dosnt say boost it says pressure.. 100x something i think on it.

Yeah im going to get the OEM gauge pod and a nice new electronical defi gauge i think for the boost.

 

[Topper]

After hearing your car the other night as you drove away, sounds like you have a boost leak, as well as your car almost cutting out due to your BOV, get the bov adjusted like we discussed, that should help it from almost stalling, after that try to find a boost leak. I.e. pipe not connected to boost gauge.

Nice to meet you by the way :wave:

 

[slammedmind]

eids for the bov is what youll need to stop the stalling mate, the boost gauge sounds like its in kpa or killopascals.

lol Hey Topper, yeah was nice to meet another owner! :wave:

As for the leak indeed i may need a hand, as i said iv no clue when it comes to this Boost stuff yet ^_^

Whats eids? I'll go take a pic of the BOV see what you guys think..

Took the center caps off the wheels for some banter as they has some gay bit carbon R's on them lol.

Eyelids off FTW!! ^_^

My BOV

Hope thats enough 'ok' pics for you guygs to figure out what it is and whats going on here lol

 

[Topper]

My BOV

This is where you adjust it, loosen off the nut, the wind the threaded part in or out (cant remember which way), do small increments, then tighten the nut, go for a drive, get the revs up, dip the clutch, if its stalls twist the threaded part the otherway, if it doesnt stall, is should hold the revs better.

I must add that with an atmos bov, its will never run as smooth as the car was designed to.

Tops, do you mean compared with the factory BOV which is vented back to the turbo pipes? How is that?

 

[Topper]

Yes, thats exactly what i mean, the reason is, the excess air is dumped out of the system, the AFM has read it and added enough fuel for the air in the system, with the air now gone, the excess fuel it still in the system, causing pops/bangs etc, i.e. overfuelling. This also makes coming off the throttle very lumpy.

With the bov recirced, the air and fuel mix is still correct, and coming off the throttle alot smoother.

 

[slammedmind]

its a hks eids, or electronic ideling stabilizer its sorts your stalling problem. I run a greddy type s on my car along with the eids and a power fc no problems and drives like it did with the recirc bov.

 

[mint]

ahh ok cool, i guess i'll need to look into getting one of these then, lol just another toy to add to the list ^_^

 

[mint]

UPDATE, Well sorta lol.

I put the car in this morning to get undersealed, So she will be getting all treated up with the heat gun over night under cover, aww my young in.

lol me an my bud's named her too, her name is Kei lol for some jap reasons ^_~ lol

 

[LuPix_S15]

Nice one dude - Torque GT is the way to go!!

Hope you get the small niggles sorted out - suppose we've all had something or another (unless you are a real jammy git lol)...

 

[mint]

yeah Torque is defo the way forward.

No not 'exactly..' lol em.. tbh i had a small 'bump' in it and sorta dislodged the front bumper, its ok tho as i plan on getting a kit when im back from holiday.

Not had time to do anything really, this weather just sends me to sleep lol

An original front bumper from Nissan UK will cost you ?4000!!!!!!!!!!! :furious:
I destroyed mine in the summer when I hit some rogue undergrowth, so I would advise any of you aero boys out there to take very good care of them if your lucky enough to own one, the standard bumper comes in at around ?800 too...

You can get an aftermarket fibreglass aero one for between ?300 & ?400, speak to Jo or Albert at www.knight-racer.co.uk as they did a really good job with mine!

Oh, and you really don't want to know how much a HID headlight costs either!!!!
