blow off valve in

[RENODMAX]

I finally got my blow off valve in. It was going to go on my buddies truck but hes going back to stock so I took it and got it on before my cheetah comes . I put it right before the intake on the actual IC pipe instead of cutting the boot its not laggy at all like the instructions said it might be. Thanks to the mouse and chris for the info on tuning the thing. Whole lots of fun.

Glad it's installed now, Happy Purge-in

Now go frighten ricers with it!:rofl:

 

[RENODMAX]

Yeah Im the only one in town with one as far as i know. have definately broken some necks already :rofl:

Would this help curb turbo bark on the VVT turbo's when you get off of hard throttle at the end of a pull?

 

[JoshH]

It should stop turbo bark, Dale.

Jordan, how did you hook it up to get it to open? If I understand correctly, on a gasser they use vacuum the vacuum created in the intake manifold when the throttle is closed to open the BOV, but we never see vacuum in our intake, especially not when the turbos are creating boost. I know BD makes one that is electonic and ties into the TPS, but it looks like you have a line running into the top of yours. Did you just put in a weaker spring and run drive pressure into the top to keep it closed, then when the drive pressure goes away the boost blows the valve open because of the weaker spring?

No no id never want just a pop off sort of valve. I do have the BD kit. You have to have the spool valve which is where my boost reading goes to and the line off the top of the valve. The spool valve is then hooked into a little adjustable processor BD supplies in order to make it all work. The main thing is that it senses the voltage fluctuation in the TPS, and then you can basically adjust how responsive it is.

why did you put it post-IC and not right after compressor outlet (pre-IC)? I was told the closer to the compressor outlet the better for response...C.A.P. has his that way too.

Chris did his nice by getting an aluminum elbow which is very nice. I didnt have an aluminum 90* and I didnt want to cut the silicone elbow so i put it on the actual pipe. Once the solenoid clicks it unleashes...zero lag.

Since it is TPS actuated it won't help at all with bark caused by the tires breaking loose then catching, will it? I'm going to get one regardless to help prolong the life of my Cheetah but was just wondering.

 

[RENODMAX]

nope it will only blow off when it sees a voltage change from the pedal.

Looks good Jordan!

Looks good Jordan!

Thanks! This came from Chad BTW everyone :hug:

 

[sweetdiesel]

So how much in total

 

[RENODMAX]

My friend got it a while back but i think it was around $550.

Got mine hooked up today too 68skylark did the install and Zach Fuller actually sold it to me and helped tune it in. It goes off with a 25% tps let off, we used efi scan tool and watched the throttle position to tune it............and yes, it cures turbo bark We had to use the stock boost tube for now since the pedistal is aluminum and the Banks boost tube is steel. I have the steel pedistal now and will be swapping it out in the next few weeks, after I get a chance to paint it red :coolspot:

looks Snazzy

Looks like you where keeping "Stroker Larry" busy :hello:

more to come, lots more

 

[mytmousemalibu]

Scare anyone yet Larry? :rofl: Nice to have "turbo insurance" that is also fun

The BOV is Funnnnnnn! The "WTF" looks it gets venting 32psi of boost are Priceless:spit:

 

[LarryJewell]

honestly, its not as loud as I expected it to be, but it does sound pretty cool
