so i decided to see what the fuss was about and block off my bov today...

(the car already has a pod in a cold air box and the factory intake piping)

5 mins and 1/2 a coke can later i was off down the street doseing "full hektic sick bro" ZOMG!

tsut tsut sutututututututu... and so on...

the conclusion:

it was the most annoying drive ever and it made absolutely NO difference to the car's performance under ANY conditions (with the one exception of it nearly stalling twice) :(

how people put up with that noise every time you lift you foot i simply do not get... not to mention the looks from passers by!

anyway the car is now de-dose-afyed an i am happy again :banana:

/experiment

well at least you have been on both sides of the fence and now can say you "have done it, its gay, and give it shit." with a backed up experiment

whereas i have never done it but know its gay and am happy to use my 5 1/2 minutes doing something else... probably redtube.com

shhhhhhh!!!....tu...tu...tu..tu.. too!!!.

how about a step by step 'how too' that can be stickied in the "Ricer" section. Save people having to ask all the time.

If you're serious, you only need an empty coke can, or even solo, up to you, cut the top and bottom out, roll it out so that it's like a sheet of aluminium, take out the gasket of the standard bov, trace with a texta, cut away. Install everything back to normal, but have the can thing blocking.

Flutter and stall away!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
