You set it by loosing it all the way and than revving it slightly and keep tighting it the bov spring by one turn till the needle doesnt drop below idle rpm? Or am I wrong
-
I have a turbo smart bov dual port and I’ve never really set my bov spring pressure. my cars only running 250kw to the wheels and was seeing if I could get some advice on setting the spring.
-
I have the engine vin number but don’t know what site to use I can’t tell if it has been painted or not The car is on facebook market place if you want to look it’s the blue ford falcon with 78,000kms
-
He said it hasn’t been swapped or converted, I have the vin number but don’t know how to check it
-
Whoops I already asked the seller if it has been engine swapped or turbo converted. I wish I could upload the engine bay photo but this site doesn’t allow 5mb or more
-
Oh okay because the cars making 550 hp to the engine and I saw the rocket cover is grey does that mean he’s swapped it? And is it more risky buying a turbo converted fg
-
I’m looking to buy this fg turbo and noticed that it had a grey rocket cover which unusual to me because usually they are only on the n/a models. I was wondering if they also came with the turbos or if it has been turbo converted
-
Oh okay cool thank you also for your comments
-
@Puffwagonwhat price do you thinking should be charged for valve springs replacement
-
Okay I’ll watch it now, I’ll try find another mechanic who can remove them and replace new ones in without removing the head m.
-
Oh okay I get it now, is this process safe?
-
Okay thank you for the help, I guess I’ll get some more quotes and no go through with my mechanic And how do you remove the valve springs and install new ones without removing the head?
-
He’s saying it’s so expensive because he needs to take off the head What would be a reasonable price about 600-700 for labour and 400 for the valve springs?
-
Oh okay, I just asked my mechanic about changing my valve springs and he said it will cost 2000-2500 for the install. But I’ve read every else people say 600-700 for labour and about 400 for the springs. If anyone could help with advice would be helpful And thanks for the advice from before
-
Yeah my car is still overboosting hitting 10psi, on a stock tune, is that due to the mods I’ve done and is that bad?
-
Yep think I finally found the problem, it was the valve springs was diagnosed by a good mechanic
-
Also the car doesn’t get boost cut when the engine is cold but it cuts out all the time when it’s warm, do you think this is somebting to do with to much air to fuel ratio due to my mods
-
Would valve springs cause boost creep as well
-
It plays up everytime I floor it, it doesn’t even reach red line before cutting out
-
Yeah I just don’t know how to try already tried good mechanics and they’re stuck
-
Already put plugs and new coils in place a watsrgate and all the hoses but it’s still cutting out. Do you think it could be a electrical issue?
-
A daul port bov? Yeah I have one myself. But just running it blocked atm
-
Yeah I can barely see it thanks though
