It sounds like your BOV is fluttering.

If by fluttering, you mean working exactly as a BOV is intended to work, then yes, it's fluttering ;) The spring and shims are exactly righ in my set-up. On a throttle wack like in the video, it just lets back surge out, but you don't want to dump the system.

Hmmm. I see.

Well .. Car is on the ground, starts, idles, moves (back and forth 2 feet ;) ) and does most things a car is supposed to do. It needs washed badly, going to try and sneak a wash and wax in this week. We are set-up to do the internals of the rear end Friday night (new gears, Detroit locker, axles, etc) ... Should be ready to drive Saturday morning :D :D :D

Just in time for opening day @ PRP!!

[yeahloh95]

and this is on the new computer?

[Martin0660]

Just in time for opening day @ PRP!!

In time yes ... but I will only be there as a spectator for the opener.

and this is on the new computer?

No, I need to shake down all these other changes before I swap to the new EMS. I don't want to be dealing with boost control and other things while trying to tune that. I need a couple good days street driving, maybe a TnT, then the Ford computer goes away :D

That thing does sound like a tractor when it idles but its got a wicked sound when you rev it!

She thinks my tractor's sexy Sounding good is not one of the best known traits of the 2.3 ;)

It is also time to replace my belts. This two year interval thing is a little old. Decided to try the G-Force Pro series this time. Real nice belts so far ...



By the way, the belts came from Summit today and are date stamped May 2010.

Sticking with the G-Force theme got one of their pro helmets ... and I decided to try a full face helmet. Also got a mirror smoke visor for it so I don't have to wear my sunglasses ...





Eh, it's only money so I bought a new helmet bag for it all too ...



Off to install the belts tonight ... getting REALLY close.

[Martin0660]

And the belts are installed :D

[THE BIG KOALA]

is there alot of adjustment in those?

[Martin0660]

is there alot of adjustment in those?

Sure ... There is a lot of extra belt, then you adjust it to fit you, then you have the adjusters after it's all fastened up.
