we have found almost EVERY evo X valve to leak, and when i say almost all, I mean 8 out of 10 of them we've recently tested.

All bench test ok to 25psi then open up! We swap them for a good valve on the dyno (aps twin vent for example) and pick up 3-5 psi, and typically atleast 20whp (up to 40)...

The leaking valves cause an overspeed issue (aka turbo working too hard to provide desired boost because of the leak)... so if you are running 28psi the turbo may be producing 34psi at the turbo outlet because of the leak before the tbody... effectively pushing the turbo beyond its designed pressure range.

food for thought

Interesting. And when will this CBRD valve be available?

 

More info on the CBRD Valve please!

 

Ryan,

we were holding off to test the new synchronic valve which did hold boost nicely.

I will still move forward with our own valve which was in the final stages of machining... and I will send you one to run on your car as soon as possible.

Thanks again for your support.

cheers

good job with the RA, its amazing how lowering it and some flush wheel make the world of a difference on how it looks.. they are growing on me for sure

 

Congrats on the article and I think you have just inspired me to put on some wheel spacers!

 

Sounds good Chad, I appreciate CBRD's support
That's exactly it, it's crazy how nice it ended up with so little. These cars are sweet haha. Thanks guys!

 

Ask and you shall receive haha -

that's a sweet set up ams is the sh*t sp you change it with a small battery have you change your BPV? coz the ones in RA is plastic which is prone for leaking specially when you put intake

 

I have a new BPV on order, but for now I'm running a crushed Evo X.

 

Yummy I want the upper pipe so bad!

 

Any news on your spring/spacer combo kit Ryan?

 

+1 also did u have to get longer studs with a 25mm spacer on stock rims?

 

With such a big spacer, I would say extended lugs are necessary.

 

dont think he needed to extend the studs since the spacers come with their own studs..
