USDM GT86 with AVO Turbo!

[nataku]

I have reorganized the beginning of the thread in an attempt to make things somewhat easier to find.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a clip from my latest Autocross endeavor. Unfortunately I was only able to get my first run recorded. I was also retarded and couldn't figure out how to use my tow hook adapter so the cameras is in the usual spot. If you listen closely you can hear the BOV when I let off, also you can definitely tell how raspy the exhaust is now lol. Enjoy!

Just went to an autocross today. Tested out my new PTuning GoPro tow hook mount. Turbo makes a ton of noise with my custom open intake + 100% vent BOV lol. Enjoy.

More technical woes as the GoPro died pretty early on. Still trying to decide on the best positioning for sound and view, probably going to incorporate an engine mic + in-cabin view for the next experiment.

Sounds good! I'm surprised there isn't any wind nolse .Did you use an external mic?

Here's what an engine bay mic sounds like mounted just behind the drivers side headlight on the fender.

lol you smacked the shit out of that cone!! The GoPro sounds really good in that location... not much wind noise like someone else said. Was that using the mic there or did you have another one??

No external mic yet. That is the GoPro on the tow hook and that's it. I couldn't believe how loud the BOV is from that position, I was hoping to hear some jet noises from the turbo but the intake hiss is overpowering. Still I like it.

I saw your video on the AVO owner's topic I think. Sounds awesome too. How did you manage to vent to atmosphere without massive backfiring? Did you have the MAF relocated like I did?

I'm running a speed density tune with a MAP sensor, but it still backfires from time to time. The MAF sensor isn't used anymore

Yeah mine will still backfire under the right conditions. Basically build a lot of boost then let off and clutch-in without giving it time to vent.

I have a speed-density tune as well so maybe it's a MAP now. I'm moderately mechanically retarded so I could be wrong lol.

I did NOT intend it as a take down on your car, it sounds different from any turbo I have heard and I think its actually kinda cool sounding.

Finally got a video of the exhaust from the back end of the car. Hope you guys enjoy. It's a little quiet for some reason so turn up the speakers, she SCREAMS!

I installed Louvers. Yup.



Here's my DIY / review thread.

Detail day pictures with @kanundrum.

We started by removing the louvers and noticed the "louver-shaped" dirt on the read window.



Soaped up the car and saw the same pattern again lol.





Put some carbon deposit cleaner on the wheels. Purple essentially means brake dust.







After rinsing it off, running it over with some quick detail, and some clay bar this was the final result!









Car is so shiny now. Big thanks again, and love the quality of that Galaxy tablet camera.
