From my personal experience of several turbo motors...on standard turbos running not massive boost, removing a bov does fuck all to harm the turbo...simple as that. Manufacturers I believe fit recirc valves to stock cars as the chatter and bov sound aren't 'desirable' to the mass public. But let's not fight about this issue, as it'll always create an argument...I just want the surefire way to that sound..that exact sound...answers on a postcard please ;) And that car in the vid just posted sounds naff lol...my wife's glanza does that...I want rally slag noise

Cheers It's so satisfying stripping an interior...and it makes doing shit jobs like replacing/removing the heater matrix etc a bit less shit.

The AP Power FC new is about 600 quid from Japan...the FCon, I haven't got a price yet as I love the FC lol. Shame really as I can pick up PowerFC's for the MR2 for 300 quid delivered E-Manage Ultimate is still piggyback though? E-Manage are very good I have to say.

Well from what I can gather, they aren't mappable by anyone in the UK...unless I'm mistaken? If the Blitz is anything like the Blitz Access from the MR2, it's just a basic stage 1 tune up ecu that raises a few things etc...if I'm planning on a full rebuild, larger injectors, higher boost etc it's going to nee monitoring and fine tuning. If one of the ECU's you mentioned can do this I'll look at them!

Not that I'm planning on doing the engine yet but I'm gathering info on it...The plan is to run 550cc injectors, uprated fuel pump and I need some way of controlling this. I have a Power FC on my MR2 and think it's very very good..but finding an FC for the EP82 that's used (new ones cost a fair whack) is impossible. What options are there then, the fcon v pro? I need an ECU that's mappable in the UK. Also, I've got a price from my guy in Japan for an AP Engineering Power FC...just the FC. Yet in some of the JDM tuner mags, the FC is advertised with 550cc injectors and an air flow meter for

Haha...the interior is the first thing to get ditched no room for fluffy seats with a 7 point cage

This EP is my concentrated burst of stupidity...so I want lots of noise

Just moved over to a new server / domain name...finally got night-spirit.co.uk back

cheers

What deg should the car run at standard? is it 10deg like other Toyotas...just making sure. Also what pins do you cross on the diagnostic plug to force the ecu to run at idle?

Today I took my wifes glanza along to 3S Services over near Hook (m3 corridor), the owner James had agreed to help me do a cambelt change, allowing me to use his workshop and his knowledge (which I needed). It's the first time I've done a cambelt and although James is best known for doing all kinds of top notch work on other Toyota's hadn't done a cambelt on the EP either. The price for James to do the work for you, would be £120 labour plus parts...which I think is a bargain from someone who seriously knows there stuff and does such a thorough job here's his website http://www.3sse

haha case closed...I like it. I'm not denying it's turbo stall, but with a bov you don't usually get that much air bouncing back unless the bov is adjustable and set tight...and I still wanna know what make bov is on that car As for turbo stall wrecking a turbo, I'm not so sure on small turbos with low boost. Fair enough there's more lag but actual turbo damage?

http://www.night-spirit.co.uk/blog/ I've created a blog for the ep project car I'm working on...any comments appreciated

sex wee indeed..it's running 427ps

You guys beat me to it! Yup...it's either a normal style bov that isn't getting all the air out as the boost is upped so some is getting back....or the spring in the bov if it's adjustable like the ssqv or greddy type r is wound all the in meaning it only opens on full boost, so you get more stall. either way...I'm wanting that. lol On that touge video....lmao There's no way on this earth that I'd diss Tsuchiya san even if I was in a rocket car and he was in a tesco's shopping trolley...he owns driving.

There's two sounds on that video, the very high pitched whistle..which can only be a bov??...and the flutter noise. I can't think that the flutter sound is the air chopping over the turbo blades (turbo stall) as there is a BOV fitted to make the high pitched whistle? The air chopping over the turbo blades is when no BOV is fitted usually and the air to the inlet bounces back off the closed throttle plate through the system and back to the turbo, stalling the turbo by the counterflow of air. I want taht sound on my little track weapon!!! Always wanted that and even running a T67-25G with exte

Just been watching the infini tuned GT on YouTube and wondered which brand of BOV was running on the car? This EP I have has the SSQV but I think I'd want that one instead...I'm guessing it's a SARD as they're reputed to be the loudest? Also the chatter/flutter...doesn't sound like my MR2 which is caused by the wastegate...do you think it's the wastegate? (can't be turbo stall as the BOV is there).

Incase you wanted to know the HRF car spec is roughly as follows: HKS GT2835R turbo V300 intercooler V300 Power FC with afm boost at 1.8 bar Blitz SBC HKS cams 256 in and out 1.2mm HKS headgasket 1,5ltr with stroker kit V300 head bolts and studs HKS valve springs, retainers, followers SR20 custom inlet manifold ported head 560cc injectors That's all I can decifer.

Yup...Had a check on the plate tonight..it's 6L something (I forgot )

hehe..to be fair I think the R34 driver is pretty crap but still, hat goes off to the EP. Yup, Blitz FMIC, TD05 turbo, Power FC with air flow meter and 570cc injectors, 258 or 280 duration cams? they do a bloody good job on that head

That's odd..it's all there Anyone with an EP has to see it, that video alone made me decide to keep the 82 I bought to strip down and sell on...and I'm going to build a track day terrorist with a bit of luck. I'm setting up a blog of the build/progress, when it's up and running I'll let you guys know as I'll be doing all of the work myself..even the engine rebuild (he says with confidence)

You can all thank me later I'll add a few more when I get chance!!

Yup HRF..that's the chaps...I have it here in Hyper-Rev, top speed of 297.3 or something kph. 400+ ps

The dark green ep82 colour for an import, just need to check the code is right before I order some paint!

It is awesome As it's a dvd what's the best tool for ripping it to web video? That video alone made me want to keep the EP lol. The tuners (forget the name) are the ones with the infamous gold EP running over 400hp that lapped Tsukuba in 1:01 (if my memory serves me right).
