I assume its atmospheric? Probably going to see a lot of stalling while driving then... Should get it tuned to counter that, but I dunno if you can do that with a stock ecu.

Also depends on what type of BOV it is i think, some of them have adjustable vents so you can control the pressure being released, etc.

Hi, yup I'm staying plump back but like I was saying stock ecu but with cat back if I change to after market BOV any adjustment to be made on the BOV itself? And how to do it?

Cheers

Well plumb backs are fine then, but that begs the question: Why get an aftermarket one at all?

Unless you have such a big intake that the air flow is more than the stock BOV can handle (considering you have a stock ECU, that seems unlikely), the stock one will be more than good enough. Its just a valve, there is no performance gain from them at all. You would be far better off spending the money elsewhere, or saving up for something much more useful :D

I had the stock bovs push open when boost is over 10 psi , get hammer out n smash end in to get a bit more tension on spring :D run my 31 at plex with return off plumb back n car 3mph slower n laggier between gears :(

Oh forgot to add that I have a plump back FMIC installed as well. So...... Cos very new to this Turboed car thing. Last car was a civic B16 twin cam convert. So any advice would be good.

Leave the standard BOV that's on their at the moment if its not causing you any problems..

No point in getting an aftermarket one as most people buy them for the different noises they make. Plumb back makes hardly any noise, so defeats that purpose.

Dont see how it makes a difference.

For all of you making a big comment about how its not an issue, he has mentioned he's had troubles with it holding boost.

That being said I don't know much about what aftermarket BOV's are better than others, I suggest you call someone from the consolidated workshop thread, or a known parts store in perth i.e. kyp/jpc etc to see what they think will be best for you.

I don't see where he mentions that..

Agreed on calling / getting perth store on recommendation for aftermarket bov + installing it.

Lol that was Brenden that said that, not the OP

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
