I started up my car today, and surprisingly it fired up on the first try (aem ems with 450cc's, with the maxrev turbo kit.) but I had a problem bringing my idle down. I tried everything I could with teh aem, but nothing brought it below 2200. I thought maybe I had a leak between my injectors, 'cause when I wore away some of the rubber bushing, I thought I put a gap netween the injector & grommet, but that checked out, everything was sealed up there. I then thought that maybe it was the bov, cause it does lack a diaphragm, and guess what, that's the prob. I took off the vac. line and plugged it, and the revs were somewhat normal (ecu still needs to be tuned) at idle.

I don't understand how that bov could go to the market like that. Does anyone out there have this valve working? I can't see anyone having a good maxrev valve, if its built like this. I can't wait til I get my HKS bov.

 

I've never heard of probs with it. Your description of the problem is hard to understand, but I think I get the idea. Did you adjust the tension?

 

Andy,

The BOV sits infront of the TB.....how does it affect Idle??

 

Hrm... not really following exactly what's wrong.. mine works perfectly

 

haha thats why I sold mines

 

minem works and I was bitching about it but it just aint loud I want something that sounds massive not this little **** and I told them at maxrev that I want a new one but there has been no word on that yet the kit is great besides the bov and diy is kind of annoying

The bov is actuated by a vacuum line off the intake manifold. I guess the bov wasn't sealing the vacuum line properly and he was getting a leak there.

 

That would make sense......
I remember the time i forgot to connect my PCV to the IM......yup, you get major idle problems!

 

ya, that's the problem. The bov doesen't seal the mani from the atmosphere. I can connect a tube from the bov and easily suck in air with my mouth through the bov.
Idle isn't really a problem, it just revs higher then normal. Its actually steadier with the leak then it is with the ems alone!

 

use it as a paper weight and get somethign else already
