I found this 96 GSX with 73,000 original miles for 2,900. It needs some work but i'ts not that bad. I already replaced the valve cover sice the one it had had a crak in it, replaced the oil cooler gasket, and the valve cover gasket. Checked all the fuids and they all seem to be good. I have a couple of questions? first I took the car for a ride and I could not hear the BOV at all. It has an RFL and I know that those make a hell of alot of noise. (had one in my spyder at one time) could it be that the BOV is junk?? I can hear the turbo spool up though. also the car makes a weird RRRRRRRRRRRRRR noise when at around 3,000 rpms. It sounds like it's coming from the timing belt area and I cannot get it to redline. Could it be that it's off time. I will open the timing belt area tomorrow and see what it looks like down there. Thanks for the help in advanced..

wow dude very nice find. I wish i could find a gsx with miles like that LOL. About the bov not making any sound, you should be able to hear a RFL. Are there any boost leaks, and is the bov adjusted correctly.
 
I took the blow off valve off and I tried opening the valve by pushing on it but I had no luck . It seems like it's stuck. I did not have time to do a boost leak test today but I will do that tomorrow as well. I have a greddy BOV that im going to try on there tomorrow and we'll see if that works.:confused:
 
today I did some more work to it. the timing belt was not off, the blowoff valve was junk and I replaced it with a 1g. Tomorrow I will be doing a boost leak test since I can hear a SHHHHHHHHH sound before my turbo spools up. Hopefully this is the proble to my lack of powre. wish me luck:pray:
