Alright so i've researched and found a lot of info...just want to make sure what ive read it somewhat correct.


I have a KA-T with a z32 maf, bigger injectors etc....

I have an Enthalpy tune.


The problem is when driving and pushing in the clutch to come to a stop, the idle drops very low 100-200rpm and usually stalls.
I read that the Apexi Neo has a Decel Air function that fixes this stalling problem. (I have a tial 50mm BOV) if that helps.)

I was just wanting to make sure the Apexi neo would fix my stalling problem as people state. My friend has one and doesnt need it so i can pick it up for 60.


That would be the only feature i would use with the safc since ive got an enthalpy tune.

Thanks!

Well dont the KA have IACV? thats where i would start, especially since ur idle is dying on decel, the IACV is supposed to catch the engine as it revs down and keep it from stalling.
Clean the iacv and make sure its plugged in and the hoses are connected.

Yeah it has a IACV..i turned the idle all the way up just about... it idles at around 1000-1100 but it still dies on idle sometimes. i was thinking it was because of my BOV venting atmospherically.

Yup, its your BOV venting. Try tightening the BOV some and see if that helps. The decel settings on the SAFC may or may not help it, still depends on how quick the BOV dumps the metered air.

Thanks for the reply!

I always read people saying to try tightening the BOV, do you mean like the flange that holds it on or am I supposed to be tightening something else?

Thanks... Looks like I may be getting somewhere finally lol.

No, there should be some kind of screw on top of the BOV housing. Its usually an allen head screw with a nut locking it in place.

Mine has a nut with a fitting on the top... And a hose running to the fitting (on top)

I could look for another screw tomorrow but I think that is the only thing on top..
Would you happen to know what that hose is supposed to run to so I could double check if mines correct?

Well, after a quick research...you're shits out of luck. Tial BOV has no on the fly adjustment. You'd have to replace the internal springs to change its pressure.

Yeah and my spring matches with my vacume at idle so I think I'm good there..

So hmmmm. Should I just try the apexi
