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 :/

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
