Lol I didn’t even see her there. Apparently her babies started crying after that. Oops oh well.
And yes! That hobbs switch is the way to do it. I was talking to a friend of mine last weekend about those. He said he could wire it up for me so when it sees a few psi or any boost it will open the cutout. He said we can also run the intercooler sprayer to it as well instead of on a wot switch. That way the cutout and the sprayer activate at the same time. I might also put a normal on off switch on the cutout just so I can open it whenever I want, if I feel like rolling into a meet or show with it open
Nothing else has been done to it yet. I just got back from vacation. Spent 10 days down at South Padre Island, but now I’m broke and have no idea when I’m going to get the next step done on the car. I’ve got school starting in a few weeks and I gotta pay some shit off before I can throw any more money into it. Hopefully it wont take too long to get the next step taken care of.
Ugh I want to so bad =[ Too broke right now. I was bitching about the e85 prices the other day went up to 2.99, but thankfully it’s back down to 2.70 lol That’s how broke I am.
I’ve got a bit of bov flutter that’s been driving me nuts. I’ve adjusted mine damn near as loose as it will go, but apparently the Greddy’s have this problem when running on such small boost amounts. I’ve been reading up on it and people seem to solve the problem by removing the smaller of the two springs that are inside of it. I’m gonna try this when I get a chance and see if it clears up the flutter
So like I previously said I’ve been having some flutter coming from the blow off valve. I’m sure it’s been there all along, but now I’m noticing it. It basically sounds like compressor surge like the bov isn’t opening enough or staying open long enough. I did some research on the Greddy RZ bov and found that many people have had flutter issues with it on low boost. They all did what was called “the spring mod” to resolve the issue. Inside the bov there are two springs. They simply took out the smaller of the two and the flutter issue went away.
On my particular setup I had the bov adjusted all the way soft as much as it could go and it still sounded like compressor surge. So today I did said spring mod by removing the smaller spring. Well now I have to have the bov adjusted all the way to the hardest setting just to keep the bov from being open at idle…and I still hear the same flutter/compressor surge noise.
I’m not sure if I’m just dumb and can’t figure the damn thing out or if that’s just how these blow off valves act at low boost (below 6 psi). Maybe I need different springs for it, I have no idea.
The car is at -20hg vacuum sitting at idle and sees -23/25hg when I’m cruising and let off. I know Tial makes specific springs for their bov to match vacuum levels. Does Greddy?
I left the single spring in mine and adjusted it back (softer) until the valve was open maybe 1/4th of an inch. When it’s set like that I can rev it slightly and it closes completely once the vacuum decreases. I then decided to go drive it around and it’s perfect now. It closes and holds boost perfectly, makes a noise clean blow off sound without any flutters or noises like before. As long as it’s ok to have it slightly open at idle which it should be since the car is speed density then I’m cool with leaving it as is =]
My friend and I went on a little cruise yesterday. Well it was supposed to be a big cruise, but he forgot it was next Thursday not this past Thursday lol oops…
No real update, but figured post anyway. I’m trying to get a hold of my fabricator so I can get a dumptube made. I’ll post photos when it’s made. (Fingers crossed this weekend)
It hasn’t been on the dyno yet so I don’t know. I’ve tuned it myself so I could drive it around and get into some boost, but I still have it at 6lbs at 5k rev limit. Haven’t trusted myself to tune it any further than that
[QUOTE=512_SIR II;2319518]Nvm about my bov flutter. I managed to fix it.

Car looks awesome. That pic reminds me of my driveway when my kid brother is over, he has a silver Legacy (not a GT=lame) as well.
I bought a 90 degree pipe, a straight pipe, and a flange (pipe is 16 gauge, flange is 3/8th)
Then had a friend weld it up for me. I ended up not needed the straight pipe
Then put it on the car and it fits perfectly
I turned the boost cut up to 8lbs and let the gate do it’s job. It’s opening up and holding 6lbs perfectly =] I still need to get some more of the titanium wrap for the dump and then it will officially be done. Plan now is wait till next weekend, turn the vtec on, and start tuning that portion of the map
[QUOTE=ithinksubaruisawesome;674860]I didn’t have any idea there was a 92’ Integra Coupé
insert signature here, plz dude… come on do it, please, the boss going to kill me, pls…[/QUOTE]
Yeep. I didn’t know either when I was looking for my first integra 6 years ago. Ended up with a 4dr one and then got this coupe a few years later
Thanks I appreciate it
This is the best video clip I could get of the diy intercooler sprayer I made. It’s run off the stock windshield washer reservoir, both pumps on it, and in connected to 4 windshield sprayers that are screwed into the bumper. It sprays a mix of 91% rubbing alcohol, and ice water. It doesn’t look very effective in this video, and I don’t really know what the difference is in intake temps, but just checking the old fashion way of putting my hand on the intercooler…it works really well. It stays nice and cold after doing a few pulls and I’m sure while driving the air blows that water around a bit to even our coverage.
dude im loving it. i watched your video on how it sound and i think you still had a little compressor surge still?(idk) but it sound so sick. now it just sounds clean but mean. props dude. also what material did you use for around the vents and ac controls and stuff? is it like the dry carbon type stuff or did you make it? looks rad man.
Thanks. I don’t hear any compressor surge anymore. There might still be a little, but I don’t hear it myself. The carbon fiber around the vents is from an old carbon fiber hood. I cut the hood up, sanded it down and recleared it.
Car is down at the moment. The alternator took a shit on me last weekend. I got another one already and should be able to put the car back together before this weekend.
Not much has happened to the car, been so busy with other stuff. I did get the dumptube wrapped recently
Also got to get the first run in on the turbo setup. I had a redemption run against my friends Buick Regal GS (supercharged 9psi) that kicked my ass about 2 years ago. I’d been wanting to run him again for the longest time and the plan was to wait until I was on 13lbs, but I couldn’t wait any longer so I ran him on 6lbs instead
