93 rx7 overheats when stock bov are replaed with greddy type s
 

lol sorry about the color from previous post but my question was i removed my stock blow off valve and added a greddy type s , when i hit boost my temp gauge gets really hot also does not have the high pitch whistle sound when it blows off need some answers please....:mad: :confused:

You sure you didn't hook up your upper radiator hose to the blow-off valve?

Well... The valve is adjustable for sound I believe..

And the overheating.. I'm VERY confused.. You sure you didn't overheat the car trying to hear the BOV?

HAHAHAHA...HAHAHAHA
thats great man!

Wierd problem there though man, and what temp gauge...the stock one? If it is the stock one then...Stop Boosting! That gauge is not linear and if it is mooving then your really overheating, if it is aftermarket....the water temp will go up when your under boost, just a question of how much. Give us some more details.....

yes it is wierd i put the greddy type s in place of stock bov then when i hit boost the stock temp goes up above half then when i reinstall stock it drives fine im thinking my car is running to lean poss.

hmm only thing that the BOV could be doing/not doing is opening when it supposed to. Do you actually hear the GReddy letting air out?

Super basic,

Did you connect the vacuum line from the upper intake manifold to the blow off valve?

Depending on how the Type S works, if misconnected, it could be closed all of the time - which would be bad, but not nearly as bad as being open all of the time. Being open would cause you to generate excessive turbo speeds to achieve the same level of manifold pressure - which is where overheated coolant, oil, cooked turbo bearings, etc. come in.

Watch out because like Clayne said you could be damaging alot of thing, especially if it is the stock temp gauge that says your hot...because that means you are really really hot. Get an aftermarket temp gauge to watch that temp because your car has to be crazy hot for the temp on the stock gauge to go up at all above half!

i have seen temps as high as 240 and not have the stock gauge move... install a 50 dollar watertemp gauge to save your 3-5k engine!
