Well my Vortech kit was finally finished on Friday and I couldn't be happier with the results. The install went smoothly and the only problem we ran into was that when we first started up the car we realized the cylinders were misfiring. We hooked up to the OBII and we then realized that when we re-installed the spark plugs we put the coil packs in the wrong order. After that the car ran awesome. It pulls now in every gear. The only thing I am not sure about though is that I think th BOV is releasing to much air. I have it set to about 6 threads showing which is what people are recomending but when I drive around at regular speeds with the throttle not to open the valve is still open releasing air. Even when I go to WOT it takes a second or two for it to close. Is this normal? I would like to know so I can have everything perfect before I dyno tune it tomorrow.

 

This sounds about like mine! Have you noticed how much boost ou are generating? I am only getting about 6 psi.

 

The BOV will be open all the time . And under heavy or WOT it closes . SOunds like it is working fine

 

I wasn't sure about it but I figured it should it close only after throttle is applied but I figured it would close almost instantly rather than after a few seconds. Here some pics after the install.

 

Vacuum has to drop first . Higher vacuum keeps it open

 

Does it matter which way the BOV is installed. The instructions say to install it so that it vents toward the motor, but the shop that installed my kit had to install it so that it vents toward the right front wheel. I have heard some say that could be a problem with my system and I have heard otherwise as well.

 

Congrats on your s/c, your car is clean as hell, I like the kit and rims, very nice

 

Thanks for the compliments. We'll what numbers I get tomorrow morning. I'll post them as soon as I can.

 

SA52 where did you do your install?

 

Wow, nice car!

Some people buy some ugly *** body kit, or leave unpainted cf, etc. but your car really shows "tasteful" looking mods. Now it's got the speed to back up the looks!

 

I did the install at a friends mechanic shop in South Broward.

 

Very nice looking car...did you get it dynoed ? Tuned ?

 

oh so Sick!
