upgrading to 16g need help

[yo2001]

I got the older Dual solinoid Blitz. It's real simple. set the max boost warning then keep turning the boost up until you hit the target boost

How loud is the HKS SSQV recirculated with hard piping? How about the Greddy Type S recirculated with hard piping?

I was reading a thread about best BOVs on dsmtalk.com and a lot of ppl said bad things about the type s, which i was planning on buying. They said it doesnt hold pressure as good as the hks bov.

Is it a bad idea to have the hks or greddy vented to the atmosphere? I have a Turbo XS Type H and thats vented to the atmosphere and the only time my car acted funny was when i drove it for a couple of hours, parked it for like an hour, then started it again and it was idling really bad, seemed as if it was going to turn off or something. I had to rev it a lil bit to bring the rpm back up at idle.

Didnt someone already tell you to use the search option? This crap has been talked about many times over. Another thing is, if your going to ask what BOV is louder, I would advise not to ask in the Engine Performance, I would advise the newbie forum for this in the future.
The Type H is the worst of their lineup, the people I know that have them all have problems. I have the RFL so I can be a ricer and make loud noises . It is vented to the atmousphere, and I have no satlling problems.

My bad man didnt mean to piss you off. I know a lot of ppl ask questions about bovs and which ones are loud and all but im trying to get a bov not only for the sound but performance as well. To be honest, b****es always turn around when they hear me driving by, and it scares the f*** outta ppl who take 3 minutes to cross the street .

Ive been doing searches on dsmtalk.com and ppl say that if you wanna vent you should get a blow thru setup from dejontool.com. I dont know if its worth spending all that money just to have a loud BOV and if itll actually help the performance of the vehicle.

You are honestly getting quite annoying for this reason:

NOT USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION

Its okay to ask the thread topic question but when you rattle off eight or nine questions all previously answered a million times then it makes people not want to answer your other, less treaded questions. Search, search and search with different spellings and THEN ask a question. I do this and 90% of the time I never need to post a question.

 

[fAt_sUnNy]

Ok before asking this question I searched on these forums and found one guy that had failed emissions and posted his readings. Mine dont seem to match up to his and i cant piece anything together so imma ask why i failed the emissions test. This is what the reading read:

Hydrocarbons (GPM)

Standards - 0.80

Readings - 2.03

Result - FAIL

Carbon-Monoxide (GPM)

Standards - 15.0

Readings - 21.1

Result - FAIL

For the CO2 and NOx the standards and readings read N/A except for CO2 where it was 358.5 for the reading.

I have a feeling its cos of the BOV being vented. My friend is willing to let me borrow his stock 2g bov to retake the test. Any suggestions?

I'm no emissions expert, but I don't see how a vented BOV would affect emissions any at all. My guess is it's something else. How's your cat?

 

[fAt_sUnNy]

I dont know as far as i know its the stock one. You think its too old and needs to be replaced?

 

[doug]

Maybe, but that's just a guess. I think you're gonna have to take it to a shop and have them look at it. But again, I'm no emissions guru.

 

[fAt_sUnNy]

I just want to get your guys' opinion before i make this move. This guy is selling me a Evo 3 Big 16G turbo ported by RRE, 2g install kit, evo 3 mani everything brand new for $650 shipped to my door. Should i go for it?

Note - The turbo has the upgraded internal wastegate 38mm flapper door.

 

[yo2001]

sounds like a deal to me. I would search on 34mm flapper upgrade on this site. I don't have it.

 

[fAt_sUnNy]

The guy selling it said the upgrade helps eliminate possible boost creep if the turbo is set to low boost and that its a good modification none the less. Yea I think imma buy it tonight. Oh damnit im so excited!

 

[yo2001]

run more than 20 psi all th etime, you should not have a boost creep problem. :laugh:

Good luck man

 

[1993eclipseGS]

Did you see pictures of everything? I would ask for pics first. Other then that, It sounds like a great deal.

 

[doug]

I've seen posts where guys said that a flapper that big prevents running high boost because it starts opening prematurely. It may be Internet hearsay, I don't know, but it makes sense. If you're planning on running less than 20PSI or so, it probably doesn't matter.

 

[coltboostin]

You do not need a 34mm flapper to eliminate boost creep. A properly ported wastgate inlet and turbine housing will solve that problem. Also, their are many people with 34mm gated turbos that still creep.

That's a very low price if everything's new. Be careful.
