A&Q about 350Z
Q:
So while b.s-ing today, someone told me that the dashpot and b.c.c.d help reduce oil comsumption??.... Being that when you let off hard, the car jumps to hard vacuum... which isn't too good for the pcv... or something of the sort.
Am I getting the b.s. rundown??? or do they in some way (could be different reasons than what was told to me) help out??
After valve guide seals... my car still burns like 1/2 a quart every 3 weeks (used to be wayyyy worse).
I have the weber 60mmtb... and there is no b.c.c.d or even room to mount the dashpot.
I don't think it matters... and im almost am sure if I did a leakdown... it'd be my oil rings.. but still... if that does help... it could explain my funky smoke on downshifts...as I've already done my valve guide seals...
Any insight guys??
*I forgot to mention that I drive the car H A R D. I for the most part think it's cuz of that... but you never know...

yeah he was correct in telling you that, at least according to the FSM. but when i removed mine i put the 240sx TB on it and haven't noticed a difference. but i think mine was sticking and wouldn't let my car idle down after coming to a stop, it would hang at 1300 or even up to 2000 RPMs. but the intention is that when decelerating the engine can encounter vacuum spikes and the BCDD (boost control deceleration device) lets a little air in to compensate, at a preset vacuum value on its diaphram. the prob is like mine was probably gunked up with carbon and oily deposits and wasn't working properly. i'd just wait till you can build ya another motor with flattys.
