guys, how to check the vaccums of the bov if the vaccum is sufficient to pull the valves of the bov? how much pressure should the vaccum be?, i already check my vaccum lines, and i can feel the vaccum pressure when removing the hose, but i don't know if thats enough to open the valves because the valves won't open, i can only open the valves when i push the valves with something, i can feel i need to exert effect on the valves to open it, and i think is springs are heavy?? i have 2 sequence HKS bov install and i can't hear the "pshhhhhh" when changing gears...

please help, thnx

hav u tried driving the car, or have u just poked the bov with a stick? maybe the springs are too hard, but if they came with the bov they should vent at some point. how much boost are u running? maybe its a sign to put the plumb back stockers back on, and move on to actual modifications.

the bov came with the car from japan, im jealous hearing some stock evo's here venting there bov valves with a loud sound, i tried reving it when the car is in neutral, and also tried it running, it should should open right? i need to open my bov now...il take a picture later...when i push the valves, i think the springn is really hard, im running .8 stock boost... i don't have the stock bov already...as the bov came with the car

i have the same set and never had a problem with them on stock boost

are there any spilts in the vac hose going to them?

dont forget to check the feed coming fromt he engine bay from under the plenum

there might be a chance they are rusted shut, give them a good clean dont use wd40 as it will eat the rubber gaskets

the only vid online at the moment is on youtube seach sau nsw drag day mr 32.

these blow off valves are farken loud, you will here them when they open.

this is under the plenum you can see the line marked BOV it goes to a nipple next to the intercooler hose

you can just see the nipple here to the right of the inthercooler pipe opening

the other side joins the nipple and goes to the bovs just make sure you check the air filters for the bovs aswell

mate i dont want to sound rude, but have u even driven the car? you wont get the shit noise your after by simply reving it in neutral. why do you need to open you bov now? if it REALLY worries you, take it to your mechanic :/

    • 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) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
