How loud is the bov?

 

damn I'm scared, a 2.4 auto out there is faster than me.

even if it was bad weather I wouldn't be upset with those times.

hopefully I've got some similar times for me soon to come.

 

Good job!
What did your trans temps get up too??
Wop

 

I can't speak for Doug or his setup but a similar setup we built while running a B&M trans cooler never exceeded temps that were reached when it was stock.

 

i was thinking about getting a turbo, but i am set on an sv650 for my first bike..

depends on the tires....most people have a false idea of why we actually have a burn-out box at the strip. For some tires it is to warm them up, but for every car it will slightly smooth the surface after street driving (which is something you want because you want as much rubber touching as possible) and it is also to make sure your tranny and engine are at operating temps. Just don't do a long ass burn out on most street tires. Just chirp them real quick and get one or two revolutions in there and then stage. It may seem embarassing and some idiots may think, "ha he doesn't even know how to burn out" but it will most likely benefit you and will not hurt you.

 

Cool
I just noticed he did a number of laps in rapid succession AND has a trans temp gage so I was wondering about his temps...
Wop

 

the temps at the track were steady at about 180 degrees give or take a few, most i have seen it go is about 200 after a long spirited drive. Im not so sure about the tire burnout thing being useless. hahns test car got the best times after it did a burnout so that has to mean something.

The BOV is loud enough for a car beside me on the highway to hear it. not as quiet as you would think.

 

Are you running Hahn's full kit or just his tuning/fuel system? I thought his kit didn't have a traditional BOV?

Nice times by the way, congrats.

 

Very true. There is a misconception that you are not supposed to spin your street tires before hitting the line. I'm not saying to smoke em up, but more so clean them off for full tread impact.

 

im running the full hAHN kit and the BOV is a recirc style not atmospheric but it still makes the same sound, just not as loud as atmospheric would.

 

the NGK plugs you're running...good match for the turbo application?

 

Im not so sure I like them yet. Car starts very rough with them on a cols start. On a warm start theres no issue. Only thing is my installer said they cant be gapped due to being iridium so they may not be gapped right the way they are. I might go back to a stock style plug with a 0.30 gap. I have to research a bit to see if i can use the bosch platinum plugs since they supposeddly work well on the n/a 2.4's.

 

Just out of curiousity, a few questions -

How has your fuel mileage and all been effected, i.e., "I was average 29 mpg combined - now I'm averaging 27 mpg.."

At what RPM are you getting full boost, and where are you shifting at (I realize you're an auto..) to maintain full boost?

Interior - did you find a boost guage that went well with the 2.4's guages? But it in a pod on the A Pillar?

You are running street tires - still the stock all-weather 205/17's or did you change? I'm strongly considering 215 or 225 summer tires on 18's when I go turbo.. traction, et al.

By the way - I'd love to see an in-car cruise video sometime as well.. as I'm sure everyone else would, too.

 

nice #s

 

nope, my tires are fine. i just replaced the stock ones with a new set of pirelli p zero's (same as stock)
i like the stock tires.. i have no trouble launching.. no hop, no spinning. i just drive around the water pit and do no burn out at all. the pirellis that come stock on the ss s/c do not like to be heated up. time for you to stop making stupid posts

street tires are made from a harder compound than drag/racing tires. to ensure that they last longer.
the softer compound of the d.r.'s and slicks, works better when they get hot.

(heat breaks down all tires. ever see them refridgerated at the formula one races? <--- hint: they are.)

 

That isn't to mention he's an auto and he's turbocharged, and thus has to spool.. so it's not like he has to worry about wheel spin that much anyhow.

Burning out is just a good way to waste tires on a 13-14 second car.

my fuel consumption has stayed the same as of right now, most likely because im having too much fun with it, if i could stay off the throttle then it might go up.

wait, what happened to the custom fitted Garrett kit?

also I wouldn't search for platinum plugs, what works fine on an N/A car is not going to be the same for you. Plus any platinum plug you find is more than likely going to have a hotter spark and obviously you don't want that.

I would search for copper plugs that are a heat range or two colder than your stock plugs.

 

That's because there are no automaic LSJ's. If there were we'd see times like that.

How much boost does the kit put out?

 

or cause he has more hp and tq. I believe its at 8psi.

 

Thanks for the links - I felt slightly out of the loop since I'd been on and off for about 3 months, but as mentioned - I'm very glad everything worked out very well for you.

 

Different engine, VVT, Higher compression, More displacement.

 

I'm confused

You said if the ss/sc was auto it would run those times. I said no he just has more hp and tq then a stock ss/sc. And you reply with that.......
