SR20 problem here...

[Ilvemynissan]

Hey and yes I searched

I can drive around town and everything all fine but if I ever step on it say from 2nd through 4th shifting at about 6k and just let off the gas the RPM's drop real low most of the time looks like about 200-300 RPM's then after a second or two they go right back up to 800 RPM's. Today I pulled into an empty housing development it's just the road no foundations or anything, I pulled the E-brake and did a little drift to turn around in the coldesac* (dont know how to spell that) it was in 2nd gear at about 4 to 5.5K the whole time i'm guessing about two or three seconds I was on the throttle and when I let off the gas the RPM's drop for a sec and the car dies....then I turn it on and couldn't hear anything out of the oridary so I just drove home, any suggestions??? Thanks and i'll keep searching.

what kind of bov are you running...im guessing its not recirculated

[Ilvemynissan]

Blitz

[fast_s13]

its not recirculated is it? that is the number one reason sr20's stall out

[Ilvemynissan]

Nah I don't think it's recirculated....is it damaging to the motor at all?

[Ilvemynissan]

I have actually been thinking of removing the BOV just so I could have that sound back could I just do that?

No.

NOOOOOO! Compressor Surge FTL. Think about it. You turbo is still spinning and compressing air when you let off the throttle and your throttle body closes. With no BOV where is all the pressure from that compressed air going to go? Sure it'll go against the throttle body but that's designed for that. Your turbo is not... Running no BOV is equivalent to slamming your compressor against the ground everytime you throttle off.

what he said, if u dont have a bov ur turbo is goin to spin backwards after all the pressure has nowhere else to go.

things that sound cool arent always good i would rather be safe than hurt my motor

[Ilvemynissan]

I know compressor surge spins it backwards but I still might do it I donno probably not.I wanna upgrade the turbo soon anyways, is it bad for anything else besides turbo? Is the stalling bad for the motor???

[morgasmo]

i dont think it would be too god for the motor either u could probably f some stuff up if ur gonna upgrade why not just sell that turbo once u have to other one on or even just save it so if somethin happens to ur new one u dont have to worry about buyin another one before u can drive ur car again

[Ilvemynissan]

Well yah your pretty much right lol I will probably just leave it on.

[fast_s13]

its not gonna hurt anything by leaving the bov on. just wait a secound or three befor you push the clutch in after the bov goes off

[Ilvemynissan]

I do wait...it does it when I take it out of gear I have to give it gas for the RPM's not to drop.

[morgasmo]

the noise may be cool but still everyone who has herd it is just gonna think o hes turbo, now if they cant here it n see how fast u pull then there gonna wonder and say man that guy is pretty fast, but racing sucks i dont get a thrill out of that drifting is were its at

[Ilvemynissan]

No matter what they'll hear a BOV. And yes screw streetracing drifting in safe and controlled areas is the shizz
