Thanx a lot mspHtown,printed the instructions and im good to go for tomorrow!

[mspHtown]

np. hopefully all of your pipes are the correct length. along with a few other ppl, i had to get an extra long coupler because one of my pipes was a couple inches too short. other than that, everything else was good. good luck!

which pipe was too short?hopefully i wont have to mcgiver it

[Brian MP5T]

If it is too short, I can suggest getting a piece welded on it instead of the long coupler.

It will not expand.

Hopefully they sent me the correct size,ill find out tomorrow.if you look at my for sale thread theires a pic of my hiboost kit

[Brian MP5T]

I have some aluminium stock sitting around in a couple of sizes..

[msp2fast]

I did put the front and rear motormounts 2day,it was a biatch,and now the car vibrates like crazy,but it feels a lot more stable

[Brian MP5T]

It will mellow out after they get heated a couple of times. That is totally normal.

I hope they do cuz theire 95 dura ,and the stock ones were shit

Add to that some cartboy shifter pucks and you will have a new car..

yea that sounds good,lets see how much time i have after i install the fmic,jdm cam,s pipe and pulley

[Brian MP5T]

30 Second install

i definitely need to do that but i havent gotten around to it. I couldnt wait for a piece to get welded, i needed the car. I also would agree with the Kartboy shifter bushings, those things make a huge difference in shifting!

[msp2fast]

allright the fmic is on ill have some pics tomorrow,but the car stalls like crazy,im venting with a greddy RS,How would i go about running the dual setup?The BOV sounds F***ing nice,but i need some help with the stalling issue!

[Brian MP5T]

Move the "Mass Air" to the pressure side and get rid of that fucking By-Pass valve.

Here's a pic of what the set up looks right now.Where's the bpv?

[sic77]

the bpv should be coming off of your turbo>ic pipe then going into your cai.

Fmic eliminates it,unless i put some type of fitting on the ic pipe,right now the U bend on the cai is pluged since the other side of the bpv cant be hooked up to the ic pipe.will moving the maf to the ic pipe prevent stalling?

[MP3Architect]

yup! i had huge stalling issues with my hiboost and greddy s before relocating...some reading for you..

I guess im relocating the MAF! thanx for the info

[msp2fast]

IS my bov sitting to high up on the pipe a mean is almost touching the battery!

[Mutmatt]

you can have it there you just need to recirc the valve

[Brian MP5T]

The stalling is from the BOV. Moving the Mass Air will fx it.

The mass air meters the air coming in the intake.

When the valve opens, a rush of air gets metered but the air isn't actually going into the engine.

THe ECU thinks you have just MASHED the gas to the floor and want to accelerate so it dumps a ton of gas into the intake, but there is no air to burn it and you stall out.

By moving the Mass Air, you will only meter the air entering the Throttle.

What should i do about the U bend in the cai?

[mspHtown]

i dont know if you have enough room to relocate the MAF sensor because the BOV is so close to the throttle body. mine is just like yours and i didnt have enough room so i just ran the dual setup. either way, the stalling is eliminated and the bov souds great!

what would i have to do,weld a niple on to the ic pipe?Do you have a pic of your set up?

i just installed my wideband today and looking at the MAF sensor, it would def be a tight fit. it may be possible but i just decided to go with the dual setup. i definitely cannot relocate the MAF sensor now because i have extra injectors for the mpi. these pictures are old so the extra injectors are not shown. hope they help! just tell me if you need anything else.

thanx for the pics.i think we could relocate the maf if we cut the lower L pipe that goes to the S pipe,but looking at the dual setup,it looks like its easier to do.Did u weld that niple there yourself or did you go to a shop?

i had a shop weld it on for like 75 bucks or something. i dont remember the exact price but he did an awesome job to not damage the hardpipe while welding the nipple on.

How loud is the greddy now with the dual set up did it quiet it down some?

[mspHtown]

i dont have a comparison to the bov by itself because i ran the dual setup from the start. however, even with the bov and the bpv, it is still decently loud. it makes people turn their heads and look for the pshhh. there used to be a video on the forum. i think it was by "tallrd". il try and find it for you.

[mspHtown]

also, tap the bov and the bpv into the brake booster line.

I thought mine was a couple of inches short were the 2 pipes connect below the front grille. But, after playing around with the piping a few times I got it fit fit fine. The only thing is, the piping touches things in a couple of places and I have 95 durometer AWR Motor mounts, so it rattles a little sometimes.

[msp2fast]

thanx again,right now i have the vacum line that hooks up to the stock bpv hooked to the RSBOV,Its LOUUUD!!i like it a lot,i wouldnt want it to get any quieter but with my unichip spiking to 15psi i dont think it will.I know that amount of psi is harmfull to the motor but even with the boost controller off it spikes to 10psi,this happened when i bolted on the new exhaust,i think a built block will be my next mod!

[Blake]

i run a blow through setup on mine
works great no stalling

mines touches the master cylinder and the bov is damn near touching the battery,i also have 95 dura mounts in my car and it vibrates like crazy

[msp2fast]

yes i did


i dont have enough room between the bov and the throtle body,look at the pic on the second page or look at mspHtown's pics he has the same problem

[Mutmatt]

play with the cold pipe (the longest one) that WILL wear down the master cylander if it is hitting it... not a good situation there.

Relocate the BOV and put the MAF where it is.

[lisevolution]

My BOV was in the exact same place on my hi-boost kit and I relcated the MAF... you just have to measure everything. The MAF is not that long and everything will fit, just measure everything twice before you cut!

Do you have some pics!

[msp2fast]

Here are some pics of my car with the Hiboost FMIC and a couple shots of my RX8!

[mspHtown]

looks good! what did you decide to do about the MAF? you should take the front plate off, makes it look more aggressive.

i would take it off but cops are anal in this state!Ive been driving it around the way it is,i learned to drive around the stalling issue but im going to measure the pipes and cut to relocate the maf.

[mspHtown]

they are usually strict here but i just put the plate in the trunk with a couple of screws. "just broke officer"

[PlatinumMSP]

stop complaining and relocate the maf past the bov on the cold pipe, have a shop cut the pipe for you, it will fit. Look at mine.

regardless of if his will fit or not, you obviously did not read the thread. for starters, your bov is mounted lower on the cold pipe. and secondly, who is complaining?

[PlatinumMSP]

yes i did read the thread, i think that it'll be close, he would have to measure it but it looks like it will barly fit, secondly i think he was complaining when his car was stalling, as most of us who've ever owned a hiboost kit do when our kits cause our msp to stall, i'm just trying to help

Nah,im not complaining,i knew in advance that this is an issue i would run into,its just that i know that my bov is too far up the pipe so its going to be a close call,its the same with mspHtown's set up,and the only way it will fit somewhat decently would be to cut the 90 degree uppipe that hooks up to the cold pipe which im willing to do thats all,Thanx for the pics too,thats what myne should look like when i do that,you should do that 2 mspHtown im positive that it will work!:)

too late to move the MAF for me. i have extra injectors welded to the cold pipe right before the throttle body for the mpi tuner.

Sorry been away from the boards for a little bit... I'll try to take some pics of my setup tomorrow since I'm off from work...
