Recommended Posts

Guest | hype^ |

check this out guys!!

when i bought the car i thought it had a stock BOV on .. but today i saw a piece of metal with "blitz" on it.. under the air box

im like cool iv got sumthin thats blitz...

i take a closer look and its a F**kn bov!!!

some idiot but a blitz bov on the car under the airbox and left the stock 1 there!!

and coz the stock 1 is ferther back the blitz 1 doesnt even get to go off!! it aint loud at all..

u cant hear the bov properly when u just rev it on the spot! only a lil on changes!!

what the hell do i do??

i was thinking of swaping the blitz and stock bovs around so the blitz 1 is the 1 used first for better sound..

or maybe replace the stock 1 with the blitz and some how block the hole where the blitz 1 was off (iv got nfi how to block it!)

what do uz recon??? :P

mine is right next to my intercooler, and if anyone on these boards has heard it, they will agree with me when i say it is BLOODY loud!!!!

My stock one just blocks up that piping..

dam prank! nice position! - my blitz is right under the airbox :P iv got no idea why they put it there.. but it should sound better after i remove the airbox and get a filter ;)

prank.. the problem with mine was that the stock was not blocked off..

so the air was filtering through the stock 1 and didnt have a chance to get to the blitz.

i fixed it today..;)

i but a piece of metal between the piping and the stock valve..

now he air goes straight to the blitz bov!

sounds nice!!!

but i need more boost and a POD filter and exhaust ;) to make it sound louder:uh-huh: :D;)

yeah. its VERY loud there... if i hit boost hard through any tunnels (spesh the harbour tunnel) it is seriously deafening. My whole front bar shakes when it goes off.

Yeah, i luuuurve my DTMS!! :P:D (thanks too).

JiMb0 experienced my bov at low boost last w/end. ;)

YEH PRANK!!

was i impressed or what!!!

did i hear u right in saying that it was only 2pound!??

that thing was loud as hell!!

:uh-huh:

i like the way u pulled right up next to my window with the wheel.. :lol:

and i got laughted at by prank's gf when i showed him mine,!

i cant believe its the same valve!!!:eek:

that was Bec 2. :) I have 2 becs, my gf and my other bec (a good friend) - that was my friend Bec, not my gf.... it gets confusing.

yeah, when i lifted off it had only hit 2psi. :) or thereabouts.

GTR80Y, i need to angle the valve upward!! ;)

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
