I have some articles on rally cars, they never mention specifics of ancillaries though...manily drivetrain and aero changes etc etc.  Plenty of pics of engines though, and i have found it tough to find what may look lik e a BOV...i know the Grp N rally cars do.

LOL...someone will freak when i install a 2nd BOV on my car:)

Your wasting your money Troy.. honestly.

Remove the BOV and get it tuned with a proper ECU :kick:

I cannot honestly be botherd anymore... my facts are correct.

So its about two pages now and your still here?

Just like in some other threads youve made posts in ... where you have suddenly gone quiet...

Oh wait... i found another

I suggest now is a good time to maybe think before you post eh?

And seeming that you know sooooo much about a lot of things (supposedly)

You dont know a tuner in your vast expiriances?

i mean... really.

get it tuned with a proper ECU

I am not one for put downs, it's simply not my style. But sometimes I make an exception....

1,100 ps at 29 psi and 8.45 for the 1/4 at 165 mph.

And it uses a POWER FC, maybe you are the one who should get your car tuned with a PROPER ECU! :Bang:

Just regarding the big BOV sh!te fight that seems to be going on....

Correct me if I am wrong (which I may well be) I was under the impression that the purposes of a blowoff valve were:

1. By releasing the manifold pressure either to atmo or back to the intake before the turbo, it prevented the pressurised air rushing back past the compressor wheel, slowing down the compressor wheel when the throttle is lifted. I imagine the result of this would be that the turbo would get back on boost quicker after a gear change due to the turbo spinning faster than it would have been if the pressurised air had all gone back out thru the turbo.

2. Since most braking systems that I have seen rely on vacuum from the motor, I would have thought that a BOV would help get the manifold back to a vacuum quicker, which would benefit for hard braking, say when you lift the throttle off?

As I said before, correct me if I am wrong. I dont profess to know everything.

slideway, the vacuum isnt effected as booster is taken from engine side of butterfly. bov is turbo side of butterfly and has no vacuum when throttle is shut. but you are correct in item #1.

and pnblight stated "And someone tell me how a bov is for emissions is has no benefits for emission at all" well someone allready posted that it was to stop overfueling in afm fitted cars.

now doridori, everyone else is posting positive getting people to think differently with constructive information. you just want to shitcan everyone that doesnt share your opinion.

please post constructive and politely or dont post at all.

...The sound is not caused by 'vibrations at the turbine blades'. The turbine blades are on the exhaust side, first of all, and second of all, there is no evidence that these vibrations are sufficient to cause any damage. You don't need much vibration to get fan blades to chop up sound. Tell him to go to his electric cooling fan in his house and yell into it. The sounds chops up. Now see if the fan comes loose and starts spinning around the room because he yelled into it....

Your friend misses the point with that statement of the household fan.

What happens when the rpm changes? Switch the thing on / off and you will see the fan balde moved back and forth on the shaft. Now imagine the bearings in the turbo spinning at 100,000+rpm and with the sudden increase in inlet tract pressure and change in rpm ,consider the axial loads the bearings must endure:(

That example perhaps makes what i was trying to explain clearer, in the change in rpm makes the compressor/turbine moveback against the backing plate, not great for bearings:(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
