hope this helps

I know the red pipe and silver is ugly but the kits only been in for about two weeks.

nothing ugly about it. It looks 100 times better than a stock motor, lol.

Of course it would look better matching. hehe.

that BOV is rated at 10 psi and over.

are u boosting 10 psi daily or less?

if u are boosting less, does the valve open up without surging the turbo?

turboengnr · 05-12-2005

if your running less than 10 psi, you should cut a few coils off the spring.

How does it feel to be boosted, mesee?

it feels very good to be boosted. especially since i'm one of the very few autos.
I haven't cut any coils off of it because I haven't heard of anyone doing it when I was at 4 psi it let out fine and i'm running 8 psi now. but how many would you suggest to take off???

mxcivic · 05-13-2005

thanks a lot for the pics, but is it wrong if the bov is located next to the o2 sensor of the intake ?

turboengnr · 05-13-2005

i took off about 1/2".

I heard that bov on Joel's car at 4.5 psi and it was loud as hell.

Cutting the coils sometimes causes them to leak.

yeah I have heard of them leaking so I don't think I will cut any off thanks civic01vtech

a little off topic but civic01vtech are you going to the 4th annual mid-atlantic meet in VA Beach?

prolly not, too far of a drive with the baby and i need to work.

i cut the coils on mine, then heat treated part of the spring to make it progressive rate, then added a second, smaller but stiffer spring. Mine never leaked. Not even on 18 psi. Yet it would go off at any sign of vaccum, whether you were in boost or not.
