My new Hatch!!! Tons of pics
- Thread starter mylovehx
- Start date
Update:
After taking the hatch for its usuall once a week drive so nothing settles and gets all gay... I have gotten the BOV to work everytime under full boost and I appoligize for no video. But where I went full boost some ricer in an old ass accord followed me home and rev'd up his engine
Still trying to get a hold of Mr Green for the tune down in salt lake, more updates to come on that.

I haven't tested the full boost range so far it's just been a full dump at 7lbs, the rest of the time it flutters. I have my lines direct to the intake manifold.Glad to see the build is coming along good manI sure miss my turbo.
Does the bov only work under full boost?
It's probably in the thread somewhere but how do you have your vacuum lines set up?
Well I decided to give yall a video of the latest BOV functioning. I think it's pretty close or maybe fully functioning? Not too sure since this is my first time dealing with boost.

The first pull always works flawlessly, then after it flutters first and then does a full dump. You probably need the volume up to hear the last two blows. Thoughts?
Some photos to keep people happy

Havent watched the video yet, but car looks good!
Just listened. Sounds much better.
Do some research on wastegate flutter...

People have been saying that and I would agree. I did some research like you said and I found in a subie forum to adjust the WG arm shorter.
"Here's the theory behind it if anyone's interested:
When we all put on turbobacks with much less restriction than the stock exhaust, we also removed that backpressure helping the WG to stay closed under lowe boost. By shortening the actuator arm, you're putting a pre-load on the spring and using the preload to hold the WG shut longer. Be careful not to overtighten as this may cause spiking"
So I shall give that a try
Thats the info i was hoping u would find! Good searching!
not T'ing off hoses right? just straight to the manifold for the wg and the bov?
I'm not sure how the tial bov's are but is there a hard and soft setting? Can you take it apart and see what kind of springs are loaded? When I used my dad's bov on my car (the type s) because he had a more powerful motor he was able to use both the springs inside the bov, but because i had to really go at it to even hear the bov go off, i took apart the bov, took out one of the springs and it worked perfectly after that. I also gave my bov and wg their own vacuum source so the air was not shared with a vacuum manifold, fpr, etc

Thanks for giving me the heads up!
The tial bov's have springs set to a lb rating that works with the vacuum of the car. I changed it to the correct spring. As I mentioned earlier they both have lines that go straight to the intake manifold. No "t"ing any where
Perhaps. I have been debating it for the past two weeks lol. Sometimes I want 16s just to fill out the wells, but most for some reason just look too big. I thought 15s would go well with my quick spooling tiny turbine. I wish people didn't want so damn much for em
16's on a 6th gen. 15's on a 5th gen. Bbs rs 16" ftw on a red hatch!
I know the sizing thing, but I just can't get over how big bbs rs look in 16's on 6th gens
I think I finally figured out why the 16 bbs rs look big. I have a hunch that it's the offset that makes it look so big. All have really seen are mostly low offset rs's. Thoughts?
In other news I should have my WG arm adjusted in the afternoon when I wake up and I still haven't gotten a reply from Mr. Green
