if so, do you experience any noise from downpipe?

 

why does it have to be 99+ Prelude, why can't it be a 97+

 

good question, sorry 97+

 

oh, ok, in that case, i have one, and i don't have any problems with rattle.... although i don't actually have the DP that came with the kit... i had a custom 2.5" pipe made with a flex in it b/c i was worried about it breaking since it doesn't have anything in it to flex

 

what turbo kit do you have?

 

what kind were you asking about?

 

lol, I got it...couple other questions. The drain plug, did you mount it the way instructed or did you run the oil return line on the other side. Any pics?

 

i actually used a moroso oil pan, and used a braided line for the oil return... this is from a thread i made a while back about the return line. no pic of the pan at the time though

 

cool, basically reason is. My friend and I installed greddy kit on his 99 base model, and when he drives it, and bov goes off, we hear this loud sound like something is scrapping. We thought its turbo but it only happens when car is driving, it doesn't happen when we hit gas and car is standing still.

 

what kind of BOV?

 

greddy type S

But I am not sure if its bov or turbo or dp or what! cause the sound is metal like grinding almost and coming from bottom.

 

hrmm... you got me, i haven't had any problems with mine doing anything like that.... i don't even know what it could be, other than maybe a problem with the BOV

 

thanks, for the bov, did you use T-fitting to connect the actuator and throttlebody to bov?

 

i just used one t fitting for the vaccum line going to the BOV... i teed off the cruise control

 

cruise control?

 

yeah, the cruise control uses a vaccuum signal, you tee off of it for the vaccuum signal for the BOV

 

don't you tee the actuator-bov-throttlebody too?

 

i have no idea what you arew talking about..... all i did was run a vaccum line to the nipple closest to the top of the the BOV itself, the nipple down below i didn't even mess with

 

but you ran the top nipple to what? You ran it to actuator(goldish piece on turbo) right? And then you teed that to throttlebody right?

 

NO...... the BOV has an independent vaccuum line.... the "goldish peice" on the turbo is the wastegate which controls your boost.... that is probably your whole probelm right there

you need on vacuum line running to the wastegate
and one running to the BOV

 

isn't that same as running one line off throttlebody and then teeing it with both bov and wastegate?

 

first off... why are you putting a Tee on the throttle body?

and, i have been told it is not a good idea to use the same vacuum signal for the wastegat and BOV

 

first off... why are you putting a Tee on the throttle body?

and, i have been told it is not a good idea to use the same vacuum signal for the wastegate and BOV

and unless your buddy is running a boost guage, he should hve enough vacuum lines coming off the manifold without using a T at all

 

ah so just run wastegate and bov on seperate vacume lines off throttlebody? Thanks man!

 

Btw, the greddy Turbo Kit supports up to 99 Prelude.
