Well yea nothing wrong with the logic. You may not realise that your idle control valve does exactly this.. opens at idle. Similarly on some cars (supra that I know of) the idle control valve has its own filter.

Re youtube: I can't fathom why that BOV would be open on a car that is making positive pressure though, that is just boost leak. Unless it was purely for demonstration.. but a pretty retarded demonstration if he then shows the boost leak continues under load :S.

if you actually remove the plumback pipe from the std rb25 bov, it is actually open at idle just like this setup.

if you infact watch this other video, it works.

the whole point of it being open is to allow more free flowing air into the engine before boost. if you think about it as he shows you, the turbo adds an air flow "restriction" when the car is off boost thus downgrading your throttle response.

NOTE: it would only work if you have a plumback setup for the air being released from the bov to pass back through the AFM, or either plumback or non-plumback for MAP sensor ecu's.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It鈥檒l be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
