bypassed my stock bov on my 32 the other day and it made the nice flutter noise but would only hit .5 bar not the normal .7 bar with it hooked up to bypass I stuck a bolt in the vac line leading to the top of the bov. Also when I tried to run the bov as non plumb back it would open and close at idle? once replumbed it was fine again. Any idea did I bypass the stock bov wrong I could make up a plate if that what I need to do my mate cefiro runs no bov at all and it boosts easily to .7

If you remove the vacuum/boost feed line from the top of the BOV it will leak under boost.

You need that connected to equalize the pressure on both sides of the bov diaphragm.

If not you have boost/positive pressure pushing on the bov piston inside the crossover and no pressure on the other side to eqalize the pressure and keep it closed. Without that it will open and let boost out.

Hence you getting less boost.

Not to sure why your messing with it anyway.

Messing with it will only cost performance at the end of the day.

the vac line seemed to suck when I took it of not blow as it would need to hold the bov closed? however this was only at idle so it may change under load. Im messing with as it seems to be leaking (opening and closing at idle) when I took the plumb back hose off.

Under boost there will be positive pressure not vacuum

They do open under idle as one side has vacuum on it from the plenum (the hose your talking about). This is normal.

The system is designed to do this. Almost all OEM bov fitted cars are designed to recirculate on idle.

When you 0 vacuum or boost, the boost from the plenum line will push on top of the bov and keep it closed because the pressure on top of the bov and in the crossover are equal.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
