APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 yeah niz im with cam! about the jash thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah and cam but if i get a dump pipe to suit right, don't ya think it would make another place for exhaust leakage? that why i was thinkin of sellingmy apexi front and just getting a new dump/front made up! i agree coilovers are awesome! but i can't justify paying that much unless i was harcore track racer! so i think i just go for the aftermarket shocks and springs! adrian:p Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizmo Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 dont really have itme to chase thats why i now use who i do - seems to be very thorough and has the time on his hands to be that way. I'll get it done just got to find time n money - but first the blow off valve problem - one step at a time - should see the shopping list i have for my car - i mean just even the essentials its huge - need my brake pads replaced soon too or i might end up under a truck!

APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 sorry niz it ain't a re-circulative BOV, it's a atmo-venting BOV but i'll have a talk to a few mates might be able to get you one at a good price i'll see what i can do! why is ur stock BOV playing up or sumfin? adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 nah niz mine is auto as well! and the whoosh i get from the stock BOV coming outta my pod filter is FARKIN LOUD! so i can imagine what a aftermarket one will sound like! adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizmo Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 mines aftermarket - there when i got the car - doesnt make a noise its just leaking air at the moment so its playing havoc with my idling and keeping the revs low so once i get that fixed then i can get it tuned and hopefully it'll be back to its feisty old self - its being sluggish lately and its boring the hell outta me hmmm wouldnt mind a bit of a ricey loud one. yeah keep your ears out for me anyway - might start looking for one saturday morning because i just want my car back to normal ASAP.

APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 adjust the spring tension on the bov you got at moment? have you tried that? that should stop it leakin! just don't adjust it too much that it's too tight for the pressure to release when your off the throttle! are you going to auto salon niz? cam? if you guys are i'll be there saturday, tell me in advanced adn i'll bring the bov along with me on sat incase your nearby i can drop it off! adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
caminperth Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Niz - to fix the problem quickly, why not block off the aftermarket one and use the std one? should fix all the problems lickety split...

Nizmo Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 going on Sunday. Hmmm spring tension - me under bonnet equals disaster - would rather be able to blame someone else if anything goes wrong but i may have to have a look anyway if its easy enough.

APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 i'm in east cannington i go to thornlie tafe! what type of bov is the one ur using? coz i'm sure if you adjust the spring tension make it just a bit tighter it will stop leaking! coz you haven't upped your boost pressures or anything have ya? adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242250 Share on other sites More sharing options...

caminperth Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 ahh k.. so the aftermarket one is hanging off the std mount then I take it? I'm with Adrian - pull it off, clean it and tighten up the spring pressure.. Maybe get your mechanic to do it? Shouldn't take him more than an hour..

APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 why change sumfin if it's already working just needs to be adjusted slightly thats my saying heheh adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizmo Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 i think the boost is up a little more than standard honestly i thought everything was standard apart from the obviousl lowering etc in my car when i bought it - but ive learnt lately that all is not what it seems - it has been played with. So im still learning what exactly is under that bonnet - i assumed that BOV was std til i was recently told otherwise - its nothing ricey looks like fairly standard - havent really taken a close look for myself lately - havent had time might have a look see this weekend see if i can find out make etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 you can do it yourself niz if ya have the right tools! you probably wouldn't even need to take it off just adjust the spring tension there is normally a lil knob on top of the valve near where the hose from inlet plenum goes if i do remember rightly! adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
APA Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 if it's a aftermarket re-circulative BOV my best bet is it would be a greddy type-s or type-r and they are easy to adjust as it is written on the top of the valve! adrian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/8821-whoretown-wa/page/786/#findComment-242262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
