*im not flaming anyone but this was the case

Lthlrb, that is not the point of the thread, please don't get sidetracked, I don't want to turn this into a flame war - this is about reversion, and bovs!

But, me, r33god, and CEFIE and other people I know had to rotate the housing, lines had to be bent, because they didn't line up (no my stock lines weren't bent - when I saw that it didn't line up, I took the turbo off, put the stock one on, and they lined up perfectly). The catridge was about 1-2 cm from having the oil inlet facing upwards, and the water banjo holes facing striaght sideways. My turbo was installed by my friend who is a mechanic/fabricator/fitter turner, so he's not some backyard bogan who doesn't know what he's doing.

for discussion of installation, pleae do so in nic's thread.

so do you know why the bov isn't opening at low rpm, and causing chop chop, whereas it did open with the stock turbo?

cause it dosent have enough pressure to open it. i heard it will only open at 10psi and up?

correct me if im wrong please :)

on another note i had to ajust/bend my actuator forward so the wastegate stays closed when im not boosting. i fixed that today and boost comes on much earlier ;)

That's what I was saying to paulr33 above - that was his theory that at 3k rpm, the highflow might only have 4 psi, whereas the stock turbo may have had 7

but this is what I said - did your stock turbo ever flutter? mine never did, whether releasing at 1 psi, or 20 psi.

ur bov is prob farked. I dont really know my blow off valves.. i dont run them and dont like them...

I found with my bov connected it surges HARD like it will come onto boost. anything past 9 - 10psi it will go CHOO CHOO CHOO CHOO CHOO all the way thru the rev range untill i let go. std bov = gay

my turbo actually didnt and isnt giving me hastles (will needa c if it produces the power i was told it will produce) Fits perfectly on my new engine and i have pics to prove.

Your pics don't prove anything. You can have a look at a pic of the turbo installed in my car. looks like it's standard. You can't tell that iv'e rotated the housing or that i've bent lines.

My stock bov is fine. Tested the mechanism in it, and it's the same as before.

i wouldnt worry about it man it sounds good, and wont harm the turbo, well not at a lower boost level where it does flutter.

oh yea..my msn's on. sign out and back in. mines fine

but im too lazy to rotate a turbo around and stuff lol its not like im lying to you, im saying, that when aaron sent the turbo, i put it directly on my new engine iv built and wallah, fits fine.

You may have another case, but i dont agree that you got ripped or anything (you shouldnt have baught it if u are complaining now)

Maybe wind the boost up?

i got another point...

My mate has a 500hp hypergear external gated high mount turbo, He made a front facing plenum, there was that much pressure iin the piping and all that 6psi seized the throttle and it couldnt shut, he now runs a hks ssq bov, which on 6psi sounds like hell!

I'm not complaining! It runs like a 12 year old kid with a porno mag. Like I said to you above, I don't care about the isntall of it! that's not the purpose of this thread. I'm triyng to understadn why the bov was opening stock and isn't opening now!

Obviously you didn't have to rotate it, because you got braided lines, whcih are flexible - the reason why I had to rotate, is to give the metal lines the best chance of fitting on wiht the least bending.

I don't have a front mount. I have a sidemount. All the front mount does is amplifies the sound (echoes through the chamber)

And before anyone says omg, get a front mount before you get a turbo - I have one, I just tested with a sidemount to see if the reversion was still there with the sidemount, and it was.

not everyone had the joys you did with it fitting straight on :) regardless of the mucking around we did its a fantastic turbo.

im happy ;)

Ever seen a compressor map? they're not exactly linear.. what someone was trying to say earlier is that even at 4psi and 2k rpm, the stock turbo is probably still flowing enough air to open the bov. I'm no expert, but that makes perfect sense to me.

hey ducki, are you running a pod filter? or standard airbox. If you're running the airbox, you probably won't hear anything, or it'll be very very little.

I've tried my airbox, even with a Kn panel, and I almost oculdn't hear any noise.

manwhore.

try this, disconnect the hose that goes to the bov....the one that comes from the plenum.

take it for a drive and u should have that flutter.....then plug the hose back in and see if the noise changes....if it doesnt i'd be guessing that the bov isnt working.

thats my theory for the day....

Yogi, the bov is working, aboive 4k rpm

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
