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 :/

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
