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:(

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
