blow of valve help

[R33-Gts25t]

hey guys i was wondering how abouts you loosen or tighten a blow of valve.I have an auto and as such ir doesnt really hit high boost unless i reallly put the foot down.I heard you can adjust the tightness so it will still go of on low boost as well instead of getting a gay lil flutter noise.

Is your BOV an after market BOV? If so, generally just twisting the big coloured bit on the top ... usually blue or purple ... in the direction that says "loosen" on the top .. will loosen the spring to make it open at lower boost.

If it doesnt tell you which wat to turn it ... the instructions will ... failing that just test it ... try twisting one way, then try another way....

I can check mine tonight if you want, most will twist the same way. Do you know the brand/model of the BOV?

what type of bov.

generally, Anti-clockwise will loosen the spring tension and alow it to open at less boost levels.

some have screws on top, and some others have the whole top that turns like turbosmart ones.

hey thNX for replying itws a turbosmart one.not sure what model but it has a big blue top if thts any help.thanx.

well then it should have a sticker on it to say which way to loosen and which way to tighten.

anyway, it should be anti clockwise for loosening (soft setting)

you could have gone to the www.turbosmart.com.au site and looked at their products and found this picture..

anyway..

not your bov but all turbo smart bovs adjust the same way.

I'm starting to think that you can't read.

or you like to be told things more than 3 times.

All Turbosmart bovs:

SOFT = LOOSE = Anticlockwise

HARD = TIGHT = Clockwise

[Jordan]

1. turn it 3 whole revolutions (1 revolution = 360 degs) anticlockwise.

(anticlockwise = the side away from you when you hold it goes to the left, the opposite to what the hands on a clock do)

2. Put the Auto into 1st gear, Drive it 400m down a straight road giving it bursts to exactly 4500rpm and see if it opens goes "pssht~"

If its still not doing what you want it to, then repeat step 1 and 2 again.

If you loosen it too much the top will spring off the BOV and you gotta screw it back on again. Its not difficult if that hapens.
