Got it today. Took a about an hour to install and get the fron bumper back on. Quick install. I also have the
HKS SSQV BOV installed in place of the 1G BOV that comes with it. Here are a few pictures.




Also, I need to tune the HKS BOV. It flutters quite a bit on easy throttle. Any suggestions?

 

YEs, GET RID OF THAT BOV< get a 1G Bov, and vent it back to the intake, your car will never run right, I had that same BOV, held boost, but never release it right, and with you Venting into the atmosphere, it'll run even worse. The problem is that it is not allowing the boost to escape unles you are at wot and then release, get rid of that BOV and stick with the 1G unit.

 

Very nice, is that Buschurs battery kit or did you make that yourself? If you did it yourself may I ask where you got the parts?

 

I'm going to experiment with both BOVs to see whats up.. Thanks for the info of your own experience with the HKS. Very helpful.

The battery, it's a Hawker/Odessey. I cut the factory battery tray to fit the smaller battery. Then I took heavy dutty zip ties and secured the battery onto the tray with small slits in the tray. It seems a little sketchy but that battery is not going anywhere. One zip tie will hold 40 pounds and theres 2 of them holding it. The battery only weighs 16, but gifure quick stops, battery is much hevier. I did all the tests I could to throw that battery out, it's stuck.

 

Did you notice any performance improvements? Definately looks good in the engine bay

 

I had a freind of mine do some datalogging and S-AFC adjusting a few days ago and now it pullllllllllllz like mad.

I only drove it down the street and back after I installed teh UICP. But I did notice 60mph comes around real quick. Pulls harder for sure. But I want to get it out on the highway and open it up a bit.

Anyone know how to tune the HKS BOV?

 

oohh yesss zip ties...i think my entire car is being held together by them now....gotta love them

 

question! when using Buschur Racing UICP, do you have to use smaller battery?? thanks!

btw, it looks awesome!

 

Yeah, the only way it will fit is with the smaller battery.

Thanks for the props ya'll.

 

how much did you get your small battery for?

 

With the auto terminals it was $110.00 shipping included.

Here's where I ordered it from:

stvbreal, hey thanks for the quick response! How much did the whole kit cost you? including the battery kit..

thanks!

 

The whole kit:

Buschurs UICP = $360.00 shipped
Mini battery w/ terminals = $110.00 shipped
Zip ties = $5.00 Sears

Total = $475.00 - roughly, I may be off by 5 or 10 bucks, maybe.

I actually saved $115.00 by opting to get the mini battery myself and mount it rather than getting Buschurs setup. I'm not sayng
Buschurs is not worth it, but I can use that extra money on other things.

 

Hey Steve,

Thanks! also one last question! Does the 1st gen BOV come w/ the UICP??

Thanks!

 

Yes it does come it. I just installed mine!
