Turboxs Rfl Bov

[jdmawd]

my turboxs RFL bov, and 1g adapter came today. via rollhard.com the bov is beautiful, and well constructed. My question is how my washers do I need for 20 psi the instructions don't say? anyone have this bov and if so how do you like it. please don't turn this into an anti atmospheric venting session

 

[gst_spyder]

Well if it helps i'm running 3 washers with a stock turbo and 17psi. Try and run all 6 and see if it surges or not but you should def be able to run 5 without any probs.

[jdmawd]

cool i will try 5 first

 

[TripleDigitTSI]

I just got my car back together back to stock on a JDM engine with a 14b. I got rid of my old bov so i used the RFL. I have zero washers in it now and im still getting surge. I used to run 3 when i had the 16g at 19lbs and it would be fine. I dunno, let me know what you end up using.

 

[gst_spyder]

Wow thats weird, maybe you should give TXS a call and see what they say.

I run 3 washers at 21.3psi. You guys should drop me a line if you need TurboXS stuff, I've got a hookup.

Ya I got mine from projectGSX. I use 3 washers at 18psi on my mutt level2.

JDM it astounds me that anyone would spend 250 bucks for a bov that works significantly WORSE than stock.

Isn’t the Tial bov in the same price range? I have never heard about people having problems with that.

How does it work worse than stock? I think its cool, so I got it end of story. IM sure the tial is a great bov. venting bov's is what attracted me to turbo cars from the beginning, dsm's made it a reality. sometimes cool mods are just as good as performance ones. no one here gets paid to race or mod our cars. we do it because its fun. in having fun i chose a R.F.L bov (enjoy)

Grant it I don’t vent to the atmosphere but my stock bov holds my 60 trim 116+ traps and 18+ lbs just fine and it still turns heads even though it is vented to the intake. If you spend time and effort shimming the bov just to get it to hold 20 psi I would call that lame. Especially knowing how much it cost. But at the end of the day if it makes you happy have fun.

Get real, it takes 2 second to unscrew the cap and drop in a disk. If you don't like it that's fine, but lets not dream up reason why its a bad BOV. every time I post a new part I put on my car, here you come with why its a bad idea or it sucks. first my turbo, then my vpc, now my bov. what up with you?

 

[rdrkt]

I wouldn’t post on an auto forum asking people what they think if you didn’t want a response. At the end of the day I don’t want to see ANYONE spend their money foolishly or waste money.

You brought up the example of 1800 or so dollars for a VPC, S-AFC and TMO ecu for engine management. Bang for the buck is just non existent in that deal. Although it would be more difficult to initially setup Im sure you would have a much more driveable setup with a standalone

Another example would be your turbo xs bov. The Tial is probably the best bov on the market for the same price and I haven’t heard about issues with people getting them to hold reasonable boost. Or even better yet just modify (not crush) you stock bov it will hold as much hp as you are ever going to make and it came with your car.

Same thing goes for your bling bling gauges. By the time your egt reads that there is a problem its too late. You can be ready to pop the head gasket and the a/f gauge could still show you running rich. Meaning that they are junk. I think they both cost around 175 bucks that’s a lot to spend on stuff that doesn’t help you like its supposed to. With all of this crap that you bought you could have gotten a DIY wideband with a dead nuts accurate 02 sensor and gauge and it could tell you your exact a/f ratio not just a guess of your inaccurate o2 sensor.

I wont even mention your turbo selection…

People have been making great numbers with DSMs for years. You can have an insanely fast car cheap if you try and follow in some of the footsteps of these people. If you try and do it your own way you will have a car that is a parts hanger that will cost a small fortune and never run like it should. It becomes frustrating and embarrassing and eventually you sell the car at a huge loss and become really bitter. I have seen it happen again and again.

I just don’t get you. Why do you feel that you know better than so many others? People like to tell me that its cool to try something that no one else has right up until they have a poor running high dollar POS. But I don’t wish ill on anyone please get your car up and running and show everyone here how good you are and what you know Im looking forward to it.

 

[jdmawd]

you have just proven you have zero idea what you are talking about.

show me that post?

what bling bling gauges? i have a sport comp egt and i *had* a vdo boost gauge, a/f and fuel pressure gauge in my car. what's bling about that. since they got stolen, im replacing them with autometer phantoms from the mustang? what are you talking about. thats right i forgot you dont have a clue (sorry)

With all of this crap that you bought you could have gotten a DIY wideband with a dead nuts accurate 02 sensor and gauge and it could tell you your exact a/f ratio not just a guess of your inaccurate o2 sensor.

Guess what I still can

I wont even mention your turbo selection

good try to get yours out of 14b territory before you talk about mine. Guess what, if my ete32 does not work out, I will buy a different turbo no big deal. again what's you're point?

If you try and do it your own way you will have a car that is a parts hanger that will cost a small fortune and never run like it should.

The only unproven mod on my car is the turbo. Does that constitute my whole setup is *doing it my way* get a clue.

Why do you feel that you know better than so many others? People like to tell me that its cool to try something that no one else has right up until they have a poor running high dollar POS.

IM sure someone had to try a 20g, green and other turbos to become proven, but i guess we like to forget that stuff. don't think for you second that my car will run like **** my friend. whatever the cost, it will be fast, and i will learn for myself as i go along. go faster than basic mustang gt times, then come back and talk to me about you're *60* trim turbo:laugh:

In what way?

Its right in the electronic and fuel section. I told you that you could get a better value with a standalone and you ignored me.

If you are ripping them out of you mustang I am assuming that you will have to replace them when you want to sell the car right? I am just saying I wouldn’t even bother transferring gauges that aren’t worth anything.

Riiiggght there are a bunch or 14bs trapping in the 116 range on 18 psi of boost much less 120+ on pump gas.

Have you ever noticed that when someone tries to disagree with you, you have to insult them? I would look into that.

Exactly spend money like water until you have a fast car. If someone gives you advice that could eliminate some steps that is a good thing right?

A brand new Mustang GT driven by the man Evan Smith cant only muster a low to mid 14 and this is the same guy that got a stock ls1 Camaro into the 12s 3 years ago. So what basic mustang is running a 12.5@116 and trust me that was a really poor sputtering pass which really isn’t all the bad btw. Its much easier to point the finger and make fun of people when you car hasn’t moved for however long. I had my car up and running in 3 months. How about your mustang 4.6 liters and a supercharger where are the big times and numbers?

When the tracks open s back up and I run a low 12/high 11 in the 120 range on pump that will be right up there with some of the best times that people have run on pump gas. I don’t know if my hacked 1g mas an a safc will be able to handle too much more but we shall see. I’m not an internet superstar like some others. I never claimed to be. You will see guys like Dre pushing the stock 2g 7bolt a 100 hp further than anyone thought possible and he drives it to work every day. Now that’s not me at all Im not that good I don’t have the knowledge or the resources. Im just a 22 yr old kid trying to stretch his paycheck as far as possible. But who here would not want a car that gets 20 lbs by 4300 in 3rd and makes 400 hp+ to the wheels on pump gas? How can you try and make fun of that?

This is of course totally ignoring my above post. Do all the words make your head hurt?

I made my best pass the first day Maple Grove was open in May and I have had my trans out most of June and some of May. Its just words now but it will happen dude don’t you worry. We are all still waiting for your best time out of your DSM….

Funny shiz! :laugh:

Looks like you're the ass rdrkt. JDMAWD posted this topic with this:

My question is how my washers do I need for 20 psi the instructions don't say? anyone have this bov and if so how do you like it.

How is your input needed rdrkt?? You had nothing to say relating to what he asked. THANK YOU.

(I used a stock 1G bov on my old '92 Laser setup(Big 16G--pump gas--304hp/323tq)>>it leaked horribly. Even crushed>still leaked. Easy solution = replace the problem. Cheap solution-->RIG IT to work.

Back on topic:

I have a friend with a WRX using the XS RFL--> It's working great on his car!! Sounds SWEET to! I personally have yet to see one on a DSM though.

Good luck with it!

Laters

ProjectGSX, You said you could get the hookup on turboxs products...I have been searching for the best price I can get the rfl bov for a 98 eclipse gst. Hit me up with the total at [email protected]

 

[980VR41k]

Just to let everyone know, Summit (www.summitracing.com) is selling the RFL for $132.95 (TXS-BOV-H-RFL). The Type S = $129.95 (TXS-BOV-S), Type H = $169.95 (TXS-BOV-H), Type H Racing 34mm = $179.95 (TXS-RBV-H32). Just a heads up, I thought their prices on these BOV weren't too bad, in comparison to other's prices.

Jason

 

[SilvaSpyda]

Thats a good price but is that price for an eclipse....I went to the site and it is not user friendly:/

 

[980VR41k]

I know what you mean about trying to find stuff on their sight, you almost need their catalog. Just use the search feature and type in the model numbers that I posted in parentheses. The adapter plates for the 1Gs are 69.95 (TXS-H-ECLIPSEG1) and 69.95 for the 2Gs (TXS-H-ECLIPSEG2). I just noticed that at Rollhard a few of their BOVs are cheaper, but not the RFL http://www.rollhard.com/turboxs.htm .

[92rslaser]

I am running the RBV race valve and haven't ahd nay problems with it yet. I run all 6 washers and don't get any surging at all. I also run 20psi plus psi everywhere I go. This is on a Red turbo and all supportng mods.

 

[carboy08]
