The BOV also provides internet forums with hours and hours colourful discussion and debate...

Now here is my 2c...

In theory it also reduces the loss in turbine rpm during a gear change..This means when you get back on it, the turbine is at a higher rpm (because the compressor discharge hasn't been suddenly blocked) and therefore will spool up quicker...In practice though this may not be noticable much, if at all. It is also very hard to measure...

Got pics?

I've been "window shopping" for some 4 pots.

:down:

BTW got my modified coilovers back from the engineers today. Going to fit the rear Ohlins coilovers tonight (and maybe the fronts if not too dark - bloody daylight savings!)

Block the BOV in and auto and you'll notice it easily.

Yeh i tried it(blocking BOV) went around the block......GHEY!!!

My theory is,if you got time to hear the psshhh .....your not changing gears fast enough....simple.

Besides bullets are made from lead so they are soft as, you could shoot a turbine housing and youwn't even mark it :lol:

Mmmm... I shot a bullet through outer guard, inner guard, cast iron 308 block, inner guard once...I know it's no turbine housing :blink: but wtf are you talking about Willis ?

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
