Amby, bro, i am not here to hear my "right" answer. Don't get me wrong, i respect your response and i know you know your lancers, but i just want to hear dozens of comments on how they have done or could not do it. Having more responses can push me to the answer that "i can but with a lot of work" or "i can't". Trust me, i am not going to spend hundreds just to get a little "ppssshh". Thats why i started this thread, to see if i can find a safe and cheap way to do this. Just don't call anyone a ricer for liking a certain aspect of their turbo. I like the huge performance gain way more than a little "psshh"

 

Here ya go, for people saying I'm talking out of my ***, apparently these guys are too since they're saying exactly what I'm saying.

Oh and google VTA BOV and MAF and see what other people say.

 

As I said before, I consider it rice because it would involve either spending a lot of money to do it right or potentially harming the performance of the car just for a sound. How is that not rice, because you have a turbo? If an evo owners comes in here with a loud BOV, huge wing, brightly painted interior, huge rims and an ungodly body kit people have no problem calling him a ricer so why not do the same to a turboed lancer? It is my opinion that unless you have an insanely fast car and need to VTA, it's a ricey mod. I'm sorry but while your lancer is certainly faster than the average lancer, it's not a rocket and it's not a street beast. It's pushing a tiny amount of boost and there is no reason to VTA other than for "the sound". If you want the sound, do what cincy said and get a 50/50 BOV and be happy with it but I and others will consider it rice. There is a WRX owner (17/18 years old) who put an HKS SSQV on their WRX and we all say it is ricey so it has nothing to do with what you drive.

 

^ Wait, when did i say you were talking out of your ***?

 

You didn't but others did. It wasn't directed at you, don't worry, we're still cool even if we do disagree about things.

 

manny what happened to your type s?

 

It was a piece of -s, I got compressor surge because it wasn't pushing enough boost to open up the valve. I tried to do the single spring mod, but the damn screws were not co-operating. So i said whatever and just went back to my stock bov.

 

Lol and that's why you don't buy a different bov.

 

+1 Amby,

Been there, done that. I had alot of problem relate to VTA bov, richer mixture between shift, sometimes stalling when dumping clucth in 4 and 5 th gear. Then again had to raise the idle screw, but dont go to high or you ll get a code error "RPM higher than expected". + the erretic idle in neutral.

All of those trouble were intermitent. See how much trouble it is from tuning every week you take the car. Sure in the end it worked. But I think now that a well running car win against the "Wooshhh" we all wanted too ear.

Plus, Recirc help the turbo take back some spin after shift, thus more boost .

 

Exactly, I'll take a quiet and fast car over a loud and slow car anyday.

 

wow... i'm really starting to think that i need to recirc... maybe the "+ the erretic idle in neutral" will go away then??

I hope you weren't thinking I was saying you were talking out of your ****... i was just saying that you can run vta with a maf even though it is not ideal...

 

I was referring more to cincy's comments. I would really suggest recirculating. If you want a different BOV I've heard the JDM MR DV works well, is a direct swap for the one that comes with the RRM kit and sounds better.

 

what would you do with this??

 

Do with what, the BOV? I'd sell the BOV and buy one that recirculates.

 

Amby is 100% right on about this. I don't know why there is such an argument. As for the rice comment, I'd have to agree with that as well. In the English language we tend to consolidate general definitions and broader meanings... rice, as pointed out by Amby, is the general modification of a car that is purely for ascetics rather than performance and is often done the detriment of performance.
