working blow off valve FTW
 

well after some time no of driving around wondering why the car feels liek the brakes come on during the 1-2 shift i finally figured out why.
teh dam spring in my bov was way to stiff.so after cutting 3 anda 1/4 inches off the spring the car is so much better on teh shifts.(no more boost spiking or lag).
the only bad thing is now if i get off it before it shifts outa first and come to a stop,the motor loads up with so much fuel it stalls :( . then again i could just buy the right recirculating valve to fix it but then i wouldnt have that bov sound on shifts and getting off the gas.)

car running > BOV whooshy noises

im swaping to speed density soon enough.so ill deal with the stalling for now.its better then buying a 200$ recirculating bov that ill only use for a week or so

whoooooooosh noises rule! I remember when I finally got a working turbo on my old 4Runner. You should have heard that thing after it shifted. It was actually a peppy little truck with the turbo 4 cyl. But it got lousy gas mileage when you were into the boost too much. Nothing like 4WD burnouts in the snow! whoooooooosh

i love the bov sound.whats even better then that is i love seeing ppl do dbl takes when they hear it comming from a camaro.last time i stoped and went to get gas i had a guy come running over and as if it was turbocharged.cause he heard the bov.it does get much attention i must say.cant wait till the car gets painted and ****.car even got alot of attention down at the e-town cruise night.just about everyoen who saw the car did dbl/and triple takes.

but yeah gas milage sux if u dont keep it out of boost.which im having a hard time doing.since the turbo is so well sized to the engine it spools by 2,300-2,400,and if im on the highway and goto pass somone and the trans downshifts there is zero lag it will go right into boost

I personally like the supercharger noise on a camaro than a Turbo. When i think of turbos i see in my mind the Mitsubishi - Honda - Toyota cars. The only turbos i like to see in camaros are the Monsters they use on pro drag.

the supercharger is a nice sound but i can keep the turbo nice and quiet untill i want it to be heard.supercharges always have that whine to them even @ idle its kinda a giveaway

im kinda partial to both of them, but then again the whine of a blower could get annoying at times i think

turbo whine isnt much better,i have a loud ex on the car and when the turbo spools up it drowns out the sound of my ex.atleats u only hear it when u go into boost.my 87 has a gear drive on it,was cool for about the first month,but after aout 20 mins of driving u get real tierd of the whine fast

we talking about a female ex or a piping ex?

I don't think your turbo whine would drown out my female whine :knock:

:funny:


And to all the people who think "turbos are for imports," you're kidding me right?? Or have you just been living under a rock for 20-25 years?

I've had both turbo and supercharged vehicles and they are a blast. Both make some noise but who cares. Twin turbo EFI smallblocks are the ultimate though. FTW!

yeah seriously...come on, that turbo 301 was the best motor ever!

haha, no but it was a step in the right direction at least.

boost no matter how its made(supercharger/turbo) is ftw
lol
