Help With Blow Off Valve/boost Controller

[mr.33]

i just recently installed a greddy type rs blow off valve and the sound was a bit funny, i was just wondering how to adjust the sound. I also read somewhere on the forums a blow off valve will damage the car if its not tuned, my car was recently defected so is pretty stock. Will this damage my car? what can i do? and how would i 'tune' it?

When i first purchased the car, there was a apexi avc-r boost controller sitting in there. I didnt have the money back in the time but

recently

i decided to get it installed. When i took it to the mechanic the mechanic told me there was pieces missing. Inside the box was only

the computer screen with nothing else. I'm from adelaide and i was wondering where i can purchase the other parts to it.

Thanks alot

A blow off valve won't do any damage to your car. To adjust the valve, there's usually a small screw or hex bolt on the top that you can adjust. This compresses the spring inside and changes how the valve responds to boost pressure. The tighter it is, the higher the pressure needs to be before it opens to expel the air.

For your AVC-R, you need the pressure sensor for reading the boost pressure, and the solenoid unit. I'm pretty sure you can buy those both seperate. I know the solenoid is the same one as the PowerFC boost kit uses, and that can be purchased seperately.

Have a look on RHDJapan.com, they stock that stuff.
