so i did the coke can mod tonight and seemed to get rid of the farting issue... How bad is it not having the blowoff functioning? Should i look into the grub screw mod?

There is mechanism why it may not be good..

But its pseudoscience at best no one really knows and there are many people on either side of the fence... Personally i have never run them in any of my drift cars. 20+ psi. Had no dramas.

yeah well we purposely never ran one on the CTS Drift Car as we found it held the boost better that and the fact it was one less part we had to worry about failing. But i was just worried on a stock car such as these it might have some issues. i guess ill wait n see...haha

  • 2 months later...

Docile... that was not problem when I did that mod.

I found it good when on of off the throttle but when cruising on the Highway at 115kmh it tended to stutter and was very uncomfortable. Had to stop on the trip to remove the grub screw. Fortunatley it only takes 5 minutes to remove.

Did the coke can mod. Very straight forward.

Great results; eliminated the farting, seems to be slightly more responsive, got the fully sick VL flutter sound which is manageable. Certainly turns heads when people look that it is a wagon.

As Andy mentioned, wait till you take it on the highway. Drives like a dog.

I'm not exactly sure what the fix is... but once I changed the intake and tuned it with the E-Manage I no longer get the farting... Have been driving it around for about a year with no issues.

Thanks for the heads up. So far had it cruising at 90kmh at constant speed, seemed quite ok, will see how it goes over 100kmh.

Take it on a long hill and when you try and maintain a steady speed. When you ever so slightly back off the car will begin the shudder.

It drove me nuts. That and the stupid sound. Would be fine if it was a 1000kw beast... but its a wagon... with alot less power.

Took it for a drive today across Melbourne (Moorabbin to Geelong and back). Kept it steady at intervals of 90kmh, 100kmh, 115kmh and 120kmh. If you are steady on the throttle, not like a taxi drive on/off, I could not fault it.

Have to agree. I ran mine with the grub screw for many 10's or thousands of kms on highway, never an issue.

My car has the super hectik vl fluttaz, but I can't work out why. I just assumed it was an a/m bov, and never got round to looking at it.....until my turbo blew.

I've pulled the BOV off and checked all the lines to make sure someone hadn't blocked them for teh fluttaz. Do the BOV's fail very often?

My std BOV did similar, [fully hectic sound included] annoyed the crap out of me and made the car surge on light throttle transitions I took it off to check it out. Ended up having a ruptured diaphragm, I replaced it with std BOV off another VQ25det and the problem was solved, driving the car was so much better.

now just wondering whether to keep it or put on a new stock BOV as I do not want to kill the turbo.....

I replaced mine with a Turbosmart Dual Port. Theo has the same one, and Scotty has a Turbosmart Kompact. Little bit of flutter but if you're smooth it's hardly noticable.

I didn't like the idea of replacing one BOV having issues with a second hand one when they're all prone to doing this.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
