Well I finally got my first Rx7. it is a 87 Turbo II with a 89 J spec Turbo II motor. I don't know much about these cars. How can I make my Blow off valve sound louder, bucause I can berely hear mine.

 

Buy a different one?

I hear there's a company out there that makes great fake ones if that's what you're into.

Just messin' man, congrats on your purchase. Welcome to the board.

 

cool dude

what kind of blow off valve is it?

 

Im guessing stock

 

My stock one is pretty loud. In fact people that have no clue about turbos or car matters always ask, "What's that really loud PPSSSSHHHH noise that the car makes when you shift?"

 

yeah, i've got the stock one and its pretty nice sounding...

hopefully i can one day hear it again

 

Well right now it's all stock, and it does sound pretty nice I mean the blow off valve when I shift. I just purchased Tokiko 5 way Adjustable suspension, a short shifter, a new clutch and rotors and brakes. does anybody know a good website about Body kits, i am thinking of bying one.

 

www.takakaira.com has some body kits, but you might want to wait, cause the from fc3s.org is gettin a guy to make a nice kit for alot cheaper than those japanese kits, you can see it buy reading that post that has a sticky, its a the top of all the threads.

welcome, so you're in the WA, im down in Vancouver, Wa, i don't know where kirkland is.

 

mmmmmmmm - psssssttttt - mmmmmmmmmm - pssssstttt - wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - psssssstttt

or

WAAAAAAA - sqeeeeeele - wooosshhhh - pssssssttttt - bwirp briwp - WAAAAAAAA - pssstttt (at this point the v-tech is in my rear view mirror)

 

i did the open air vent mod with check valve. it is pretty loud, get looks all the time.

 

Do wrc cars have BOVs? Because i dont hear the pshhh nise , only a lot of chirping, so wouldnt they gain performance/reliability by having BOVs?

 

i think WRC cars may be external wastegates instead?

 

Open air vent that thing, I did mine, and its badass.

 

Hey Tony, you mean this one?

tada, Lemme know, im bored and want to try it...

Erik, my car ran fine about 2 hours away from blacksburg...normal ever since.

 

Yeah, thats what im talking about. That read looks confusing, and a pain in the ***. If your going to do this, you might as well do the TID mod. I did both of mine at the same time, and spent about 35 dollars in parts. I didnt use them all though, and returned some and it ended up about 25. I borrowed a digital camera from my gf, and I can take some pics and do a write up if youre interested. I hope you have a Lowes by your house, cause I couldnt find some of the crap at Home Depot. 1 response is enough for me to do a write up, heck maybe it'll get in the archive.

 

Right on, heh funny you mention that. I pass by Lowes everyday. Its at a corner that connects a heavy road with a secondary (that I live off of). Not only that, but its where I found my TII. Freaky eh?

On a more mentionable note, I guess you already had a FCD before you did the TID? Any kind of AFC? Just curious, finally have enough money to start spending

 

Please do! I need some ideas for my TII transplant this winter.

The TII front clip I bought is on the way fro Sydney, AU right now. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for it too.

 

Yes I do have a FCD, but no AFC.

Ill be working on the car tonight, so ill snap some pics, describe the stuff I bought, and how I put it all together. Ill stick it under a new thread called "How I made my TID." Im off to school.

 

how could I make my Blow off valve sound loder w/o bying a new aftermarket one?????

Since I've had the car for about two weeks now, i don't know how to get a good launch someone please explain. I am running 245/50 16' in the back and 225/50 16 in front with good grip if that would make any difference.

 

Dude, check out the link in my above post

 

bust some holes in the muffs, it will sound sa-weet ! much better than a tinny tiny BOV ...

 

Holes in the muff...LMAO. First car that revved on my was a tercel with that affliction. I almost died.




Laughing

 

hey...i would be interested in the writeup if you don't mind doing it...i would greatly appreciate it! thanks

Dan

 

Dan (and anyone else interested), first you will need to have access to a drill and some bits.

when the mufflers are not hot (car parked for a few hours) go outside, lay on the ground with drill in hand.. oh yeah safety first, can't forget goggles for protection

here is the hard part -------------> choosing the drill bit size just right (it takes some practice but after drilling many muffs you'll get the hang of it, so start small, you can always make the hole bigger) and picking a position to drill the hole(s).... clean up metal shavings and you are done, voila.

go for a ride and enjoy

your resident smartass

 

lol thanks MaxRx7
I guess i asked for that one huh?
i should have been more specific i meant i wanted the write up for the TID and blow off vavle writeup lol
well thanks anyways for how to drill holes in the muffler...if i ever get a civic or a crx i know what my first ultra power mod will be!



later guys
