Didn't Pass A Epa Test On A Stealth Fx

I posted this up in the NSW part of the forums but I wanted to get this question out there so I could get more of a detailed answer.

I got defect for the standard BOV that vented to Atmo, fair enough.

So I do my research and look around and figure the Stealth FX seems quite good..

I install it and set it all up for plump-back.. I even removed the trumpet.

Off to the EPA site I go and he tests it and seems fine... He then looks at it a bit closer and starts to twist it and goes.. "Can't be adjustable"

What classes "adjustable" yes I can change it in a flick of a wrist, but you can make any bloody BOV vent to the atmo but just taking the plump-back pipe off in 2 seconds..

I can't fight this can I?

Do I have a chance if I go to another EPA site?

I can buy a plug to fill in the atmo hole, but that still makes it "adjustable" in a way...

Adjustable is that, adjustable.

If it has a tension adjustable spring, then its adjustable. Which can alter how the BOV works, or doesnt all together etc etc.

Thats from my understanding of the Vic EPA, NSW is far less harsh, so count yourself lucky :(

Just get a set of GTR BOV's. They suit absolutely any occasion

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
