^^i didnt think s/c hav a BOV..i know they have a BPV..btw can someone explain to me how an aftermarket BPV would help?

klepto

woops....LOL....thats what I meant...fingers a trigger happy when talking about the TRD SC and mods that can be done to enhance it safely, lol...

The stock bpv that comes wit hthe TRD s/c is a piece of crap. The spring inside is very weak. a bpv is supposed to leak boost. that is what they are desgined to do. The question is how much boost leak. An upgraded bpv like the one I have has a stiffer spring allowing less boost to leak. This gives the car better throttle response, because it holds boost longer. After upgrading my bpv, boost felt present at 3k rpm instead of 4k rpm

thanks scionce...btw i still havent got the chance to install the draxas s-pipe yet

klepto

down pipes takes 15 minutes tops....deff worth it...down pipe is the most restrictive part of the car.

You can run a BOV on a S/C'd car. The only thing is that it doesn't really do much for the car. All it does is relieve the pressure off the S/C between shifts just like with a turbo. It's just not that bad with a S/C so it's not really needed unless you're running really high boost.

i wonder whats the most safely boost the trd sc can handle...isnt it at like 8-9 psi right now...

No one really knows for sure. A lot of guys who have changed their pulleys have some.......issues....and that's all i can say about that. Changing the BPV.......is what it is.

sooooooo.....is your avatar a Terrence and Phillip version of Paul Wall?

trdsparks

LMAO!!

I never really thought about it like that. But I guess you could say that. I thought it was funny. I mean how often do you see a smiley with a du-rag & a Paul Wall grill. lol

very dissapointed in his post, im getting blue ***** over here! tell us the differerence? is the power like a really powerful intake or is it like "oh yea!"? do you feel torque steer because of the power? when does the supercharger become noticeable? does the shifting feel different? quicker? how does it feel between shifting, and going into the next gear? does it keep pulling like it wants to, or does it go through the motions more like it has to? thanks

you must also realize that the guy might not even know some of what you what from him.

also he is being overwehlmed here with everything going on and i can almost garantee that this website isn't on his high priority list.

if i were to be the first auto sc'ed on SL i would be on here all day just to respond to everyones comments, but thats just me.

gjpjr84

hell, i would have gone driving for like an hour or 2 that first day and then been here answering what questions i can as well.

you just have to realize that not everyone has the same priorities

tC9o9

true...

i mean the first day i had the s/c i would beat the hell out of it, i would prolly go thoough one take of gas haha, i would race anything i saw, and just launch it at every lite. i would then take it to deserted areas and make videos of how quick it is, and then make sound clips with the custom exhuast and everything.. damn it would be tite. now im really lookin forward to gettin it this summer
