Surprise!!!
















Now I'm much to tired to type much so enjoy the car ****.

 

If I were you I would not block off both sides of the PCV. The reason I say that because all it is going to do is cause blow buy through the cylinders. I would suggest getting a catch can or two instead.

 

I only have the back blocked off. As for blow by, it generally travels out of the combustion chamber into the crank case. Not the other way. Blocking off both sides would be a terrible idea, not sure what would happen but it couldn't be good. With these forged pistons there is so much more blow buy upon start up its almost comical. There is no way I would run it into my engine without a catch can.After its warmed up I didn't notice any.

 

Got you I must have looked at your other picture wrong where it looked like you had both sides blocked off. If you had blocked of both sides it would eventually start finding places to work its way out of.

 

Yeah, that would be bad. I vent out the front. Ill post a couple I phone videos soon. It sounds like a baby diesel.

I also had to go out and purchased a used Netbook to run the Dimsport tool. Main computer is a mac.

 

Very interesting!

 

And you thought your cold start noise was bad....


But that is totally normal for forged pistons. It goes away once the car is warmed up all the way.


Valve Cover Pressure (VCP) Test.

I went out and bought an extra oil cap ($10), tapped it for boost, and did some preliminary testing.



Ignore the bad noise. My exhaust needs to be adjusted, it rubs on the sub frame every once and a while.

After driving around for a bit I never experienced positive pressure. Once I started driving around 55Mph I could notice a slight vacuum of maybe half a pound. I stayed out of the boost. Once my engine is broke in I will do it again, and throw a little boost at it. Then I'll put it back to stack and test it that way as well.

Oh and I got a muffler I am going to test out. 3'' straight trough 6x14 round. I just stuck it on the end for a quick demo and it make it much deeper.

 

Dude ditch the HKS BOV. It is going to cause you problems. Just stick with teh divertor valve under the turbo.

 

I bet your just glad to have it back on the road again .

 

The BOV hasn't caused me any issues. It has been on for almost 2 years, a little less then half of that was untuned.

 

What made you want the BOV? IF the DV can perform all the tasks why put the HKS unit on?

 

Because they sound awesome! :D i want one so bad, but I have heard that they do cause problems on our cars :/

 

Help keep stress off the stock DV from the added boost, ad it's faster.

 

Great thread Mnipwr, keep up the good work!

 

do you have a diverter valve block off kit or do you run the SSQV simultaneously with the stock one?

 

I run it simultaneously.

Installed my muffler today. HATE IT.

 

What does it drone or is it just really loud?

 

The drone is less then the music. It just lost all the raspy throatiness. It's all like low and muffler sounding. I haven't had a muffler on this car for basically 3 years.

 

I can put up a video after this weekend. Ill get my gopro back.

 

Keep it on the low down so the po po don't write you a ticket for race car.

 

I havent had any issues with that.

 

Key word in that statement should be yet. I have never been stopped either but, it is only a matter of time.

 

Running a straight pipe really isn't that loud when you are just cursing. It's when you get on it that it gets insane.

 

Here is a sound clip of my exhaust. Just revving in the driveway.

 

Damn, dude, you must be one hell of a curser!!!

However, an intelligent man.
