Oh my god dude. This is EXACTLY why people have kept saying "things may not be right". Having the MAF unplugged means it's going off a default value and not really cross referencing anything. You have a MAF tune, thus your MAF should ALWAYS be plugged in. Unplugging it doesn't "make the codes go away" it means the car doesn't know what the **** is going and and isn't being triggered as a problem when something is actually going on. Colder plugs is most likely not the problem.

Quit posting and start fixing the issues.

Also, just for argument sake, you could use stock diverters and vent them to the atmosphere and probably be better than aftermarket bov's. But either way, you have a MAF tune which should never be vented to the atmosphere. I still want to know how you've hooked up BOV but yet are swapping diverters back into its place. It sounds like hardware being swapped and all the vacuum lines not being correctly capped off or relocated could be part of the problem.

 

makes perfect sense..and yes, "lethargic" is how i would describe stock 24's even with gt2 map. but as you know, the lethargy tends to be brief. lol

 

brilliant. i was educated. the mere fact the 996550 is even questioning whether his spark plugs are even good call into question all of this. let alone bov's lol. anyone else here running that way? didn't think so.

i'm leaning heavily again toward my .02 diagnosis of "munchausen by proxy syndrome" for car nuts lol. that could explain a lot.

 

Um if your afr is dipping into the 10s you are flooding your motor under wot. This is coming from Topspeed Motors. 11.9 afr is perfect for wot.

 

For everyone else saying do this do this do that.

First have someone saying 10s afr wot is great wtf any tuner will tell you your nuts.

Second plugs were just checked there all fine no cracks or anything.

Third having my maf off has nothing to do with wot my afr is still the same checking durametric. Im checking to see if my maf is bad or voltage dropping.


Dont post if you have no damn clue on what your talking about.

 

We did a test on both stock and bov made no difference search before u speak its already been proven. Sorry to get on you but thats why theres a search button.

 

Your talking out of your ***. What facts do you have on this claim of taking diverters and releasing pressure to the air vs. a BOV? Its the samething i dont like diverters never did they leak.

 

Were fixing the intake leak right now it will take 4 hours theres a small split on my hose in the back they just found it.

 

yes, but i thought that was on honda's. my bad. thanks.

 

So your saying markski and blackhorse are like hondas too? They run bov's. Go on what yourself.

 

relax. i'm here to be edumucated too. btw. change your spark plugs.. they're like 10 bucks each lol

 

Take a breather guys.

 

so was it the hose from the intake to the oil tank i told you about?

 

Yup abd hes not happy working on a weekend doing this lol but i will still get your stuff. Another thing looks like my maf readings are wacked out. There positive on idle thats not right.

 

So you're saying that BOV being 100% vented to the atmosphere (not recirculating) with a normal MAF tune is completely fine. B/c this is where everyone has disagreed with you, including your tuner. Switching back and forth between Diverters and BOV require different hardware components and different tuning. Markski & Protomotive run them with blow-thru and mafless tunes. Completely different setup.

Yes BOV can be used, but the tune is done differently than it is with a standard MAF + diverter setup which does not allow metered air to escape to the atmosphere. Most people are using a blow through setup, or mafless. Which it doesn't sound like you're using either of these systems as I know EPL does not commonly do mafless.


And I did not mean diverters release pressure to the atmosphere, I was simply saying that they could be setup to do this, as the protomotive fender intake systems do.
