Removing secondary relief bov Twin Turbo?


swanson-07

Recommended Posts

It is possible to close over (plug) the secondary relief valve? If got a GFB response on 50/50 but its quiet (cant hear it at all!) and was wondering if removing that would make it louder

Also what size silicone line do i need for vac lines ect. Want to change original lines for silicone ones

Errr 4 or 6mm? F\'d if I know

Does change the characteristics of the whole twin turbo system thing if they are much bigger or smaller than normal

Plus theres little restrictor pills hidden in half of them which are allegedly vital, not that it mattered to me since I had half of mine removed, blocked or bastardised anyway. You cant go too far wrong if you spend a little time understanding what each one does and how it all works, if you dont then honestly youre better off leaving it untouched

Your GFB Response 50/50 is quiet because it\'s set to full recirc, adjust it to VTA for more noise. Any 4mm silicone will do for the vac lines. Do them 1 by 1 to avoid mix ups and as Marky said check each line you remove for restrictor pills.

Secondary relief valve too, second turbo\'s in the boot. Guessed was meant for Leggy thread.

fixed :P

but yea will only get a louder BOV noise buy 100%venting atmo (not recomened techincally but fun for a week or two then I reckon you\'ll go back to 50.50

Even on 100% vent it sounds like a wimpy fart :(

Try removing the OEM restrictor pill in the BOV vac line if you haven\'t yet. Makes aftermarket BOV\'s more responsive/louder

Edit: Bigger vac hose diameter might help too? I run an HKS sequential/5mm hose/no pill/loud

Editit: Hose 10 mod will have big effect too

Yea, im running 14psi - both turbos

Execpt im fitting a new turbo intake this week as my secondary has a split causing Limp mode (just on secondary) - BOV sound was quiet still before the split

Split was caused by taking it off to do the knock sensor as its is in the most nasty place and couldn\'t get to it. wouldnt go back on nicely as its done a good 165K

Its a $380 GFB from a sponsor from here il keep it on as its a bit just to chuck away. It just doesn\'t even sounds like a bov on vent. Ive tried a cheap trumpet same thing no noise. Ive defo got boot goes amazingly ect. You can hear a tiny recurk on 100% recurc. For running 14psi and I\'ve herd other b4\'s and they\'re pretty loud. I just don\'t understand i get what sounds like a wimpy fart that you can bearly hear? Maybe its blocked.

plumbed in right? pretty sure you have the same one I have and I have no issues with it making noises

tried adjusting the screw on the top/spring pressure etc

Step 1 Aquire GFB hybrid BOV and wear it like bling!

locate OEM BOV

remove

how to make loud noises!

place bung in "return" and let the trumpets do their work (this setup lasted a day)

th_2008_1219008.jpg

had to have above setup due to fact BOV was supplied with 34mm? connectors and Brendon at GFB was surprised in the fact his assumption was all WRX\'s were that size, sit and wait for 20mm adapters arrive...

you can see small allen-key below which I found after trying to unscrew it for 15 mins!

rangi mod - Like I said need pipe and spare hose clamp, 1st attempt I cut the existing pipe in half but that left the BOV a bit high and it rubbed on inside of the bonnet

rangi mod #2 - lost my bung and have since tidied up my infamous "plastic-bag" mod (effectively plumbs back 100%) and looks prettier

you will also need a longer vacuum hose to reach way back where I have mine.. (that blue line)

then of course B$\'s are different (you haven\'t said what car you have yet)

Mint, damn you joker, i want one.

Sadly it\'s quite a different install for the B4, they have the bolt-on-the-intercooler ones remember. But the idea is still the same, "take off old one, put on new one"

Can i just remove BOTH of these? the one to the BOV and to the secondary intake hose(if thats that it is)?

Try adjusting first as Joker said.

You could remove the one (left in pic) in the BOV line for now, that will make your BOV louder.

But I wouldn\'t do anything more than that until you get the split intake fixed, or you could just cause more problems. Don\'t mod it till it\'s running right...

Flogging a broken horse...etc etc

Yea sorry i have a B4 rev C. With a bolt on GFB with every hose that the original hose had in the right places. All i did was fit the vac on. And recirc hose back on to bov. Bolt to intercooler?

Same hoses, used new hose clamps, used new gasket ect.

Block that hose on the right, the one which goes back into the intake pipe

Thats the "hose 10" mod

That... thats about all you can do

For super mega volume get a different bov, the gfb ones work good but arent super dom toretto loud compared to the knock off "rfl" ones for example

As for why it is quieter, your b4 has a turbo half the size of the wrx, just less air is coming out (less flow, inertia, whatever) - with a front mount and no bov mine still chattered like a gtst for 5 sec or so, its more there just is f-all air backed up with a tiny turbo and top mount

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
