Haha good call. Thanks for posting the review. I saw you didn't want to lower, but what about some better dampers (Bilstein, Koni replacements) if/when they're released? Used to have an E46 with bilsteins and factory sport suspension. I miss that car, perfect confident ride
Hey man, not trying to blow up your spot, but based on the pictures you posted with the links in the last holes, you would be on the softest setting. Otherwise, good to hear that you like the bar and it's working well for you.
Different baffle designs and/or coalescing media, volume, features (drain port, dipstick, etc.). Thousand ways to get almost the same result, but a lot is preference. As long as it has good baffles, it's an improvement over a plain hose.
Glad @Chase_GHT said it. Generic pcv hose (by the ft), can, and metal strip could be done for around $40 to $50 all-in, retail. With wholesale quantities, these guys have to be making over $100/unit easy.
If you don't care about mfr country, look on AliExpress and you can find a better...
Don't waste your time. Look at the flow arrows on his turbo pic. This dude is just here to troll. None of what he's saying makes any sense, and now this marvel of modern forced induction... the reverse flow turbo.
Are you installing a standalone wmi tank or feeding from the washer fluid reservoir? I don't have a Mav yet, but I think the bed cubby would be a convenient/safe spot for a tank if it fit well. Otherwise, it'd be cool to see if a lower profile tank could nest in the under seat storage. Looking...
@Canyon Racer are you forwarding your install notes/review to H&R or any other vendors? Seems like you knocked out the R&D for the perfect AWD lowered look.
Any word from Eibach on spring rates? Obviously the Mav is not as capable as body on frame trucks when it comes to load/tow, but I'd hope they adjust the rear rates to maintain payload. Would hate to ride on the bump stops if anything heavy goes in the bed.
Yeah man, I get you. At the end of the day though, this isn't a platform where a significant number of people would want to do diy intake work, and of those that do, not everyone would feel the need for an enclosed box.
Plus, some people are just in it for the fun of modding and sharing ideas...
Catch can will possibly reduce/slow the rate of deposit formation, but they will not stop it from happening. Deposits form as a result of contaminated liquid oil (not vapors) that settles on intake tract surfaces and is then heat cycled without being washed away (port injectors) or heated to...
Lightning fast reply! Thanks. Yeah I'm sure the vanes would be extremely minimal considering the entire volume is pressurized. Mostly looks good on paper. I enjoy your practical cost approach.
Looking forward to updated Dyno with the cooler charge.
@JVolpe Maybe I missed it, but where are the tank and compressor(s) mounted? Any pics of this?
I'd be curious to see if a compressor could fit in the bed side cubby
The exhaust just acts as a turbine nozzle. High pressure/heat gas in the turbine inlet gets converted to mechanical energy as it drives the wheel and then expands through the exit. You need a change in pressure for flow, so the idea is to minimize exhaust exhaust restriction to extract the most...
Next up maxing out the injectors with the new turbo, once it's on?
Any possibility of a an aux (port) injector setup? Thinking manifold spacer with port injector bungs. Would provide the extra fuel and fully prevent carbon buildup.
