EDIT: HOLY DAMN 2002!!!!!!!!

I was driving and my car started to bog and my oil pressure light flickered, then it died. This is after i tightened the bov screw a tad. Someone told me that if its too tight, I will run rich....but I dont knoe how true that is. I loosened it and it seemed ok. Please help me out with waht is goin on.

sense, you do not make.

 

your oil pressure light and BOV screw are not gonna have much in common. Oil pressure light is not good

 

Umm i would definitely check your oil level and then put some more oil in if it's low. Then check for oil leaks. If your oil light is coming on you have serious problems...

 

Sounds bad.

 

Dude...you remembered to put oil in the engine after installing the turbo right?

 

I checked the oil after and it was perfectly fine. The light only flickered for a second when I was bogging. Is it possible to run rich with the bov too tight? I loosened it and then it ran fine....kinda.

I checked EVERYTHING...all the hoses, clamps, piping, and it still feels like I am runing like 3 psi. The tial gate is juss supposed to have a .45 bar spring in it....and..damn I dunno. Imma have it tuned in mountain view when I get a chance.

What happens if I tap the wastegate to the brake booster?

 

The BOV prevents damage to the turbo's thrust bearings when the throttle is suddenly slammed shut during full boost conditions, such as during an upshift. When the throttle is suddenly closed under full boost, a high pressure shockwave is reflected back to the compressor wheel, which shoves int violently into the trust bearing.

This is what I think happened:

Either you turned the screw too tight. the BOV didn't release the pressure, pressure reflected against the compressor wheel while it was still producing boost, engine started to bog in combination with low oil level gave warning light..

Or the engine dropped below 500rpm during bog and oil warning light went on..

Nothing to do with the BOV screw..

 

Possibilities:

fuel pump running backwards

you tapped your brake booster line AFTER the check valve

you're running mad high fuel pressure


Don't stress about the oil light coming on when it was bogging, it just got the oil pump turning too slow when it was about to stall. Slow oil pump = no oil pressure.

 

thanx for the replys, now I feel much better. I got the fuel pump running in the right direction, and the polarity is correct.

 

how is it possible for the fuel pump to be backwards?

In much the same way it is possible for you to walk backwards.

the sarcastic remark was given due to the _________ question. Whats the opposite of reverse? Its an easy solution.

 

i couldn't resist...sorry if i make you upset...

this question sounds like it should be part of the dialouge in 2fast 2furious!

 

lol my original question? Take note the date it was posted. Since then Ive been through 2 cars, 2 turbo setup, 3 motor swaps, and a lot more stuff. Upset no, I dont get upset over the internet, plus I agree
