Does anyone know which way to adjust the Type R bov to make it release pressure earlier? It seems to be frozen shut! All I get is chopping noises out of my air box. I have tried adjusting it both in and out about 8 full turns from where it was, but neither seems to make it open. It used to work before I had my intake re-done last year, and I think the mechanic has adjusted it the wrong way.

Thanks for the reply!

Well this afternoon I got bored so I took the whole thing off to work it out myself. It's not ceased, but yeah I discovered that out is "looser". I also found that you can even remove the whole adjuster for the "loosest" setting but I put it back in and wound it in a couple of turns. Haven't test driven it yet. The spring is quite strong and I'm only running 14psi of boost so maybe I need to ditch it and get something smaller.

Asking about the vacuum lines isn't off topic, because I want to get it working so thanks for asking :P Well for a start I only have one vacuum line to it (only one place to run one), and it runs to the back of the plenum. Should it go somewhere else instead?

Mine does look almost exactly like that, but it only has the top fitting in your pic. I tested the car the other night and it now goes off, but only just, and only when really pushing it (like over 6000rpm or so). I think I need to ditch it and get something smaller. Anyone have any ideas of what I can put in its place? Preferably quiet! Plumbed back if possible, but it's in an unusual spot (can't see from engine bay) so I'd need to work out how to re-route it back to the intake. I don't mind if it vents to air as long as it's not too loud.

Or if anyone has any ideas on how to make it release with less pressure (replace the spring?) please let me know.

Had another look yesterday, and I found that it's missing the barb fitting from the second vacuum hole. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? I'm going to see if the other one is the same size, if so it should be easier to find one the same. Where does the second vacuum line go?

i connected the bottom fitting to the cooler plumbing just after the turbo outlet.

its just an educated guess but i'm thinking when the throttle shuts the high pressure in the cooler plumbing pushes on the valve to assist the vacuum from the plenum to overcome the spring pressure. mabye this is why your BOV doesnt like to open... :)

but i could also be totally wrong.. heheh

That's how I thought it worked too. Seeing as though there's just a hole there now instead of another vacuum hose to assist with opening the valve, I suppose it will just suck air straight in instead of releasing the pressure on the valve and make it more difficult to open.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
