hey guys um i just want some info on my bov set up...so after messing around with other bovs i desided to go back to stock and put the stock one back on made sure the plumb back pipe was on and put the big rubber hose back on and tightend it with hose clamps both ends...the only problem i ran into was i had to conciterable bend the rubber hose to reach the bov make a bit of a kink in the hose..then i test drove it still boosted fine but soon as i took my foot of it would make the choo choo choo sound like i have blocked of the bov completely ... is this caused by the kink in the hose or something else thanks all

Does it still flutter when you rev it hard? As in till redline-ish? Or does it only flutter when you're revving low?

It's normal for it to flutter if you lightly rev it to about 3.5-4krpms because the pressure isn't enough for it to open the bov up. Try giving it a bit of a harder drive and listen to it. Should open up and give a whoosh type noise if I remember correctly. If it doesn't, probably that pipe/hose you're talking about.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
