Got a greddy type-rs bov problem

[fastestdsm]

I recently I changed my stock uicp with turbo xs typeh and adapter to greddy pipe with type rs bov including that 90 degree angle that mounts to stock intercooler. After I installed everything I tested the car by revved the car and the bov worked well and loud, I have it vented.
So I follow the procedure and proceed to drive around town testing out the bov. Well, it doesnt seem to work at all, my boost gauge seems same pressure as it was before which is around 14 psi. No pressure drop so I know its not leaking. All I get is compressor surge whenever I shift or let off gas under boost. Havent tried adjusting yet, but would that really make the difference? I just hope the bov aint deead.
Also, I do see some kind of different fitting for the vaccum like a 90 degree vaccum nipple that rotates but doesnt get tight, the previous owner said thats normal and was installed so that it can work universally with different cars.

When you say compressor surge between shifts, do you mean its not blowing off with one straight burst? Probably 3 bursts & each one getting smaller? If so the spring tension is to high, back the adjusting bolt out abit.

 

[fastestdsm]

yeah i did, and it doesnt surge anymore but the bov isnt loud at all, if I run a blowthrough setup would it be louder?
Im currently venting into the atmosphere without a maft translator or gm maf

dont vent without running a proper blowthru setup

I found with my Type RS, It's alot louder if you recirculate it back into the intake, which is also alot better for the car. If your venting, I heard you can actually stall out some times. But I have mine going back into the intake. Take a look at my pictures when you get a chance to.

Im surprised its louder recirculated. Id like to pick up an aftermarket bov but thats probably the last thing on my long list of parts.

1. Why are you venting without proper supporting mods?
2. Why did you rev enough to build boost with no load?
3. Do you hate your car?
4. Why does it matter how loud it is?
5. A BOV will not increase the amount of boost you're running
6. Are you a ricer?

You dont need to build boost to pop the bov.

1)Because I couldnt re-route without the kit and it is temporary and I originally used a turboxs typeh kit which couldnt be recirc and it was working fine, it was when I changed to this bov that this incident happend.

2)Because I wanted to test if the bov is opening properly or opening at all.

3)Yes I hate mitsubishi, I regret getting this car, I shouldve stayed with my boosted vic which had alot more better reliability even though it was boosted. Something in my mind decided me to move onto a more complex car with more potential, but every part keeps breaking so I dont know how I will ever have enough money for matinence and performance.

4)It doesnt matter how loud it is, just that I was getting the surge sound instead of the pshh sound.

5)I know a bov will not increase the pressure, however, it is dropping 2psi for some reason I dont know why, maybe its leaking? or maybe its too soft?

6) No, I am not a ricer.

Im going to attempt to install the whole intercooler tomorrow and try to work my way to recirc the bov using the existing stock tube.
I wanted the types so I can re-route without buying a kit, but I bought this one for 50 bucks which was a steal comparing to what they sell brand new.

and how is that? would I still be able to hear the surge if I recirc the bov?

 

[Scott_S]

What I'm saying is that if you rev it in netural you dont need to build boost to "pop" the bov. The fluttering you are hearing is because either A. you dont have a good vac source or B. its set to hard. Loosen it a quarter turn at a time and drive it and build some boost and let off and listen, if it flutters repeat if not your set

I did do it the whole day and have found the ideal point, however, it is no where near where my turboxs sounded. Im using the vaccum source off the manifold. Like I said, its loud when I build boost on idle but when in wot, the bov doesnt sound nearly as loud, I dont care if its loud or quiet, it should be loud if Im venting, that is why Im thinking I have a problem.

The stuf had like 2-4 threads showing when I bought it, supposedly the previous owner was running 25+ psi so he needed it to be that hard.

And maybe its because the greddy works different than the turboxs, I didnt have to do anything with the typeh, I just bolted and then went, no fluttering and loud bov sounds. When I swapped to type rs it isnt nearly as loud as everyone states. Maybe it is because it is different set-ups meant to be ran different, I dont know... However, I will try to re-route it and see if that helps

make sure you have all the hoses to the bov tugth try using some teflon tape on the adjuster bolt on top or around the outside top bolts good luck!

I have a greddy type rs, I had it vented for a month, sounded pretty loud to me, something has to be wrong. My car stalled while I was driving when I had it vented, powersteering locked up and I drove straight thru to incoming traffic, hoping I could turn the car back on..

It probably is loud but your used to your turboXs bov?

Do you really need the sound? I recirculated mine, and my car feels alot faster than it did vented.

yeah maybe I was used to the turboxs but this one aint loud at all. DId you recirculate using the kit or without the kit?

I agree with him, why do all the "ricers" think sound really matters? It doesnt, who cares about sound, well, I can see why, indimidation or the sound, but some of us are fond of the sleeper and stealth method. People go out and buy like a $2,000 body kit, and then spend 3 more grand on a paint job, just for looks? I would seriously think about how you will drive, as well as the mods to your car. Alot of mods work in support of one another, so why trip out about a sound a bov makes? Yeah, it's cool, but still, do it right if you are going to do it. And every car is different, especially with the setups each person has, so find what is right for you, and only then will you find your own style and method. I have the Type RS too, and if does sound louder on idle than it does on WOT, because of my exhaust, my engine, and all my other mods, you won't hear it hardly at all. The only one I have experienced that is Really F*%$# Loud is that, the RFL BOV. That one is the only one that you can hear at idle or WOT. Don't hate on DSM's either, be good to them and they will be good to you....

Ivee been too good to my dsm actually, yet no love back, parts keep breaking down left to right.

I ordered the recirc kit that greddy makes im hoping that will solve some issues I am having.

Extreme PSI has it for sale or something, real cheap too. Well, I have had mine vented and recirced, and to be honest, I felt no difference. So, now I just vent mine, but see, it works for me, but my setup is different, so that is where it separates. I hope it works for you too, trust me, the street racing community respects our DSM's, they know where we stand when it comes to style and performance. Take it easy....

are u running a blow thru setup?

 

[No_Skillz]

You're probably breaking down all the time because you bought it used, and it's been abused it's entire life. Don't worry, treat her well and she will eventually return the love.

The Greddy BOV is nowhere near as loud as the turboXS because turboXS is oriented for sound. As long as you're not fluttering you are fine, but do recirc that thing as soon as you get a chance.

Next time when you're testing the BOV, go for a 2nd gear pull. That way, you will build lots of boost early on and it's not nearly as harmful for your engine.

If you are running the stock t25 turbo, your pressure will fall off a few psi near the top range of your revs because that turbo is weaksauce. However, a boost leak test never hurts, and should be done with the same religious fervor as an oil change.

im running a 16g..
I been wanting to do a boost leak test, Im thinking its leaking off the j-pipe, throttle body and intake manifold which will be a bi*** to take out. Im planning on doing the tb and im at the same time when I get a 1g tb so I can take out the manifold too for ease of porting.
but right now, I put on a camber kit and couldnt get it aligned due to stupid lower control arm being ####ed, I found out too late otherwise I wouldve done it all together, now Im waiting for the part to come with really bad camber, enough to screech the tires when turning. So my dsm is down again, I barely bought this about 2-3 months ago and ###### only got 1 week of driving it.

Yeah, a boost leak test is the best thing you can do for your car, any car that is force inducted for that matter. I had a major boost leak on one of my IC pipes, the coupler had a small tear, and that caused me to hit fuel cut at 4 1/2 grand, no matter what I did. I would fix all of that asap too bro, and no I am not running a blow thru setup, its a waste in my opinion. I know exactly how you feel, I bought my TSi in OCT when I got back from Iraq, and it's been in the shop 7 out of the 9 months I have had it. SO you are telling me? My buddy has a Cobra stang and he's been waiting to "eat" the Talon, and he always give me S*&% for it, but just wait. Yeah, it is a pain, but once it is done and running, man, that thing will scream like an Eagle, and catch and burn all these ricers with it's Talon, trust me. I hope everything works out for you bro, and trust me, once it is done, you will not be let down...

You bought the wrong blow off valve if you wanted it for venting really loud. The Greddy is actually a quiet blow off valve overall compared to some. You should of bought a TURBO XS RFL or a TURBOSMART MEGA SONIC. Now with these valves, you would be needing a GM MAF-T with a 3.0 GM MAF (minimum size). Then you would have to hook up the MAF after the blow off valve and before the throttlebody.

DSM's are actually reliable if you treat them right. My original DSM went to 200,000 Miles before the engine quit. Don't drive these cars like they owe you money, I guarantee you will get many trouble free miles out of them.

DSM's are not complicated at all, they are pretty simple. It just sucks when you buy a second hand car with a history you don't know about. I have had my 95 talon for 6 years now and it never gave me any problems. It only gave me problems when I drive the car like there is no tomorrow .

It matters to me when in NOT at the strip or track, driving down the beach with my top down. You make the choice? Hot babes OR a car that is track ready? I love DSM but its just a chunk of well put together metal man. All these hardasses say its bad, but inside we all want to feel cool.

It goes to that to an extent. A car is an extension of something that we all want to be, bad asses.... But a car is also a beautiful piece of engineering beyond itself, a man made tool, we took slabs and plates of metal and made it into this, DSM's, VTEC's, Dodge's, GM's, anythings. We all take pride in what we do, so there, another dead horse
