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:(

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
