anyways just wanted to ask you guys something and if u can give me a bit of your wisdom.

anyway i got a turbosmart bov connected where the stock bov should be. car has been tuned with it.

now if i was to take it off and put stock bov back where it belongs and block it off.

and weld on a hks bov on the cooler pipe, would it affect the tune messing up the a/f ratios or anything?

thanks in advance

it should only make a difference if the hks bov vents more air than the turbosmart and even then shouldnt be a big difference anyway

the only difference it makes is if u get high boost and then drop into neutral or gearing down with clutch in the car may stall.... I have the stock bov and a blitz ssq on cooler piping and when i get high boost it sometimes stalls or goes low rpm for like a slit second and goes back to normal....

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
