Hey any one with a tuned single spring typeS that can tell me how many threads are left out side of the vavlve???

ive been trying to tune mine and im having a impossible time with it.....if any one can please count the amout of threads sticking out from the nut id greatly appriciate it.......

I have only the soft spring with the threads in about half way. However, there is about a .5 turn in the spring sweet spot for the BOV. If you're .5 turn one way or the other, the car will either stall, or compressor surge, or stumble on slight throttle lifts, or idle at 1500rpm, or shoot raw fuel on gear shifts.

Best to do 1 to 2 turn adjustments to get rid compressor surge and stumble at throttle lift, then fine tune with .5 turns for the other problems. When you get close, thats when it'll start shooting raw fuel after a few hard WOT runs. You'll know when this happens since the back of your car will seem like it caught on fire when you shift at redline.

 

but how many thread are sticking out of the nut......

 

WTF?

 

I'll have to go home and count the threads tonight for you...

I have aftermarket IC pipes, so I'm not sure if that'll make a difference. I'm guessing I may be able to get you close, but you'll still have to fine tune for your car, your valve, and your boost levels.

 

thanx

 

it's screwed in more than I thought. 4 threads remain ontop of the nut.

Of course, your setup may need something different.

 

wow im runing 9 threads out of the nut...but 4 that seems a little too tight doesnt it???..........can anyone else post the thread count on there type s

 

umm.. that is why I initially posted the methodology on how to "tune" it to your car. Reread my posts and you'll see multiple references to how you should tune it to your car, instead of go with someone else's setup that may not be remotely similar to yours and half way around the world.
