blow off valve is not working at all. im worried about damaging my turbo. car is running an open down pipe and thats it no exhaust right now. is this why??? no backpressure?? I took rpms up to about 7k and let off. nothing. any ideas.

 

has nothing to do with your backpressure or exhaust, but has everything to do with manifold pressure. do you have the vac line hooked up? check if there is any tears in the line? that's where i'd start

 

you might have a leak in your vac line

did you actually drive the car and put load on the motor or just sat and revved to 7k?

Just what I was going to ask. When I had a greddy kti with greddy typoe S BOV, I tired that and no sound. HOWEVER, on my RB20 swapped 240sx, you could hear it in neutral. Take a drive and test it then.

im pretty sure there is no leak in the hoses. i will pull it off and double check the brass T and hoses. is it ok to hook it where it is on the manifold?????(its that T sitting right on the last coupler on the throttle body) or should I use a different source????? I ordered a Golden Eagle vacuum rail, so i will be moving everything to the firewall eventually.

 

Where is the vac. line hooked into? It should be on your intake manifold after the throttle body. Could it be the fact that your exhaust is too loud to be able to hear the BOV?

 

your vac line dont look right

on my car my BOV has a hose that goes all the way to the bottom left corner on the manifold and have a t bracket there and have 3 tube come out of it 1 go to back of manifold 1 go to boost gauge and 1 go to forgot haha gotta look

Yeah, you should move it. The source needs to be after the throttle body/plate, so that when it closes, it stops the positive pressure in the intake manifold and creates a vacuum, which in turn opens the BOV.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

 

putting it inline with the map is probley the worst place to put it, try putting it where the pcv valve gets its vac from

 

my bov is teed to the brake booster

 

OK now, while in neutral 5 to 6k rev's yeild small Blow offs. put my hand in front of the BOV and can feel the air come out as soon as the throttle is released. I'm guessing while driving it will be alot more.

mine is going there to. just got this in the mail. gonna mount it to the firewall and run BOV, gauges, FMU, and wastegate to it.

 

You probably cant hear it, due to loud exhaust noise. It may be working, yet your exhaust ( open downpipe ) is toooo loud. Little whistle at 5k rpm is pretty quiet.

 

Can i see a pic on how to t it to the brake booster?

thats a source of boost... tee it off your fuel pressure regulator/brake booster or anything AFTER!!! the throttle body

 

sorry to jack ur thread, but i have my HSK BOV's vacuum line teed off the map sensor vacuum line, is it really that bad? Its kinda quiet and flutters, which has been debated to be correct or not.

 

dont tee it off the map sensor!.... tee it off after the throttle body itll work better

 

okay thanx, i dunno why but i was under the impression that the map sensor was after the throttle plate, guess i just didn't look hard enough.
