weetbixkid Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Silly Question but can you fit a BOV to an Automatic Gearboxed Turbocharged Engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yes. Generally standard petrol turbos in both auto and manual will have a bov. Edit - beaten by the man with an au profile pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have a diverter valve that recirculates as if you fit a bov that vents to atmosphere it will cause running problems as you are dumping air that the ecu has measured 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cant have an external dumping valve cause the car already has messured the air and will run poorly if he does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you here a fluttering noise when lifting off on boost it will need replacing. Genuine ones are not expensive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it'll be fine. On a manual it'd make a little pop on gear change, sometimes a small flame out the tail pipe. Looks and sounds good.

mjrstar Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Could plumb back a bov post air flow meter? That what I have on my air flow metered turbo. That way no idle issues if there is a slight leak across the seat under vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetbixkid Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Ok thanks guys, I have had a chat to him, he cant drive manual due to an issue with his left foot so is stuck on Automatic gearboxes only. He really wants the turbo sound so have passed on your feedback to him. He is also going to fit an S2000 airfilter which is a drop in replacement for the AUG engine and is meant to give a nice 1-2hp gain. Where would the best place to buy one? I have put a circle around the type he needs, needs to be an OEM paper one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Tell him to block off the BOV, then he can Phil Collins Su-Su-Sututututu around 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Lol. Unless your mate is going to the effort of putting a cold air box around that filter, he's going to lose power. It may sound a bit throatier, but no performance gains to be had in that application. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.craw4d Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) I've just used autosol metal polish in a couple of places I probably shouldn't have with great results (so far, may yet end up in the disaster thread). -Clear yellowed plastic, looks like new now. Will see how it lasts. Unpolished headlight. This one looked clean and clear before I cleaned up the other side. Side polished with autosol. -Powder coated motorbike wheels, have done a small patch and looks really good. It has removed crap that carb cleaner and petrol wouldn't.

peteretep Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hey guys I have 2 fuel gauges running off a single sensor, and one fuel is showing empty(I think I can fix this with a resistor?), while the other starts full and quickly shows my tank draining, is there an easy fix if I wanted both to work? Diode or something a rather? Maybe a resistor? and where does someone buy a resistor or diode from these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Something tells me that you can't really run two gauges from one level sensor as the gauges are usually ammeters instead of volt meters? You could possibly try wiring the gauges in series? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
