Got a 9006 for my 2011 Nissan Juke, and it's epic. As simple as it looks in the video and in the Might Car Mods videos, it's actually simpler when using it on the car. I just had to back my spring off slightly to address the audible compressor surge (flutter), but it's only heard under mild driving conditions between 2000 and 3000 RPM. And that's with the Injen CAI probably helping pipe the sound to the outside. :-) I love it!

Hey there, the spring that is supplied standard on the Mach 2 is softer than what we supply on the atmosphere-venting valves like the Respons, which is deliberate because on a fully recirculated valve it is not as critical that the piston completely closes before the engine reaches idle, so it's possible what you're seeing is normal. If you're concerned about it, I'd suggest contacting us via our website www.gfb.com.au tech support and we can get some more info from you and advise further.

Hello, Setting up the pre-load for that vehicle is a little less critical than some others. It does not use a MAF sensor so the minimum spring pre-load will be less sensitive. For optimum throttle response you can increase pre-load until you start to get some flutter on lift-off, then just back it off until the flutter stops. There are more details instructions in the manual that comes with the product.

@@Roadsurfer2k11 Hi mate, I've just had a look over those videos. Everything looks fine. These cars are really easy to set up the pre-load on as they have both a solenoid, and no MAF sensor. This basically means the valve will open whenever the ECU tells it to, and the pre-load isn't as critical as the valve won't open at idle. The piston opening and closing again isn't caused by compressor surge or "flutter" as it's often called. This is just because the solenoid is still triggering the valve to open, but the pressure isn't quite high enough to fully overcome spring pre-load. You can play around with when it does this by either increasing pre-load so it's less likely to re-open, or decrease it so it's less likely to close early. More pre-load does result in better throttle response right up until the point that you start to experience compressor surge, so if you increase it to the point that you're hearing surge I'd suggest winding it back slightly. If you need any more help feel free to contact us at support@gfb.com.au

I'm thinking about buying the T9010 for the Veloster N/i30N, and I have some concerns about setting the spring preload. I understand the the ECU controls BOV operation via the boost control solenoid, so it's not a purely mechanical boost purging system. I am also aware that because of the ECU control of the BOV, the piston should be staying shut at idle. But does spring preload affect operation for the N cars? Is there an optimal setting? Are there any negatives if I leave it at the softest and hardest setting?
@gfbvideos2 жыл бұрын
The spring pre-load set up on the Veloster N/i30N will be essentially the same as in this video. The only difference will be that the valve will likely always be closed at idle regardless of the pre-load due to the solenoid switching. The rest of the video will still be relevant

Instead, the valve has the provision to adjust the spring pre-load (as shown in this video).

Maybe a leak? The spring piston? Or the spring preload? I really love the sound of gfb dv+ Pd1.

Hi, the spring preload adjustment is a critical adjustment with a MAF sensor, but not if you have only a MAP sensor. You would still want it to be closed at idle though so you're not sucking in any un-filtered air. In cases where you do have a MAF sensor that requires a particular amount of air to be recirculated - you would just need to adjust the venting bias accordingly.

On your car the opening and closing of the BOV is largely dictated electronically by the ECU rather than just the spring pre-load alone as it is in this video. The spring adjustment on your car determines what the valve does in between the time that the ECU tells it too open and close, which explains why you will notice less of a difference than is shown here, and also why it snaps shut after about 2 seconds - this is the ECU turning off the solenoid.

@@MrTFlx Yes, increasing the spring pre-load will make it blow off less at low RPM when there isn't ac much boost to help push the piston open when the ECU applies vacuum to the top of the valve. There's absolutely no harm in experimenting with the spring pre-load, so I'd say give it a try. If you apply direct vacuum from the DV+ to the intake manifold, it is likely the ECU will log a fault code, and you would probably need to cut the spring shorter. This is because the vacuum pump the ECU uses to actuate the diverter valve pulls a MUCH stronger vacuum than the engine, and the spring we supply is designed for the pump vacuum.

This just means the idle vacuum is lifting the piston off the seat and you will probably need to increase pre-load more. When the engine is off there will be no vacuum pulling the piston open, so it will be pushed against the seat and not spin.

@gfbvideos3 жыл бұрын
Hi Evan, The trumpet and re-circulation fittings do have a specific side. This is because the trumpet port is actually positioned a few millimeters higher than the re-circulation port. The re-circulation port will open first, and at low piston lift which helps to prevent stalling and other issues.

Unfortunately on my Focus ST, i am not able to easily see the piston movement and/ or adjust the spring preload due to the location of the BPV... I did do some quick testing on the softest spring preload and then the hardest. From what i remember, neither gave me issues when idling but on the softest preload, it just vented a little too easily, so i just set it to the hardest spring preload, have been using it for more than 2 years. My question is, would it cause any issues (in the short and long term) setting the spring preload at the hardest?
@gfbvideos3 жыл бұрын
Hi James, As a general "rule of thumb" piece of advice, we suggest to set the spring pre-load as hard as you can without causing compressor surge. This will give you optimum throttle response. As long as you're not experiencing compressor surge, there is no issue with having the spring pre-load set to it's hardest setting. If you ARE experiencing compressor surge I'd suggest backing off the pre-load a little. Compressor surge can potentially increase wear on the turbo over time

@@liquidator13 No problems! Compressor surge is most often indicated by a fluttering noise when you lift off the throttle. There is a very long and technical explanation, but for our purposes it can be understood as what happens when the valve closes too soon and doesn't allow enough air out. The excess pressure then escapes back through the turbo which creates the fluttering sound

Hi Denis, The venting bias adjustment mainly comes down to personal preference, and how loud you want the valve to be. It is also useful on vehicles that have issues with atmospheric venting. If you're having problems with the car backfiring or error codes, you can just add some more re-circulation.

but what about for the recirculating bov variant?
@gfbvideos4 жыл бұрын
Hi Utsesemi, A re-circulating valve has a little wider range of possible spring pre-load. Because the air is re-circulated and not vented to the atmosphere, the valve does not have to be held closed at idle. This means the spring can be set softer than if it was an atmospheric venting valve, and it wont negatively affect the car. You will still gain throttle response when feathering the throttle, or on manual gearchanges if the spring is stiffened. If you're going for maximum throttle response, setting the spring pre-load just before you start to get compressor surge would be my suggestion. You can find more detailed information in the instruction manual, that comes with the product, or on our website.

@gfbvideos2 жыл бұрын
@@tonyb3350 With a BOV on full recirc, it should have zero effect on the idle regardless of the spring pre-load. This is because all of the air is kept in the system, but additionally, the T9111 is typically used on the Hyundai Gamma 1.6, which has no MAF sensor. This means even if the valve were venting to atmosphere, or the piston were open or closed at idle, the ECU on these cars doesn't care and the fuelling is completely unaffected. There's certainly no harm experimenting with the spring pre-load, but if you're continuing to have issues I'd suggest contacting us via our tech support channel on the website so we can go into more detail.

@@gfbvideos last night I switched to stock valve and my idle is perfect. After I inspected the GFB valve, and it had just the slightest bit of rattle to it. It was the flange the breather hose connects to. It wasn't real loose, but I got like a 1/8 turn out of it to snug it down. Maybe it was loose enough to allow a leak? I'd like to switch back at some point and see if that was the issue. Acceleration definitely feels better with gfb valve. Im guessing it holds boost better... But, ultimately I need the car to idle right. Can some teflon tape or maybe some blue loctite be used on that flange to ensure it doesn't back out any?

How can I get my genesis coupe to flutter when I let off with this bov?
@kumo99934 жыл бұрын
Flutter means that the BOV isn't venting to atmosphere like it should. You can block off either the port where it's supposed to be vented, or before it even gets to the bov by replacing the gasket with a solid gasket (no hole). Some people use a coke can cut to shape and it works but probably not the best. Alternatively you can tighten the spring as far in as it'll go and that will make it harder for the valve to open, which works perfectly if you're not running high amounts of boost.

If the spring is set too soft it can cause boost leakage, if it's correctly set you wont lose any boost but you can't increase the amount of boost at the peak with it. To increase boost you need a boost controller but that's something completely different and you can blow up your engine if you dont know what you're doing using it.

Yeah that is correct. Once you start to get compressor surge, you aren't going to be able to retain any more boost pressure in the intercooler by continuing to increase pre-load. The pressure will instead escape out through the turbo instead of the valve. so this is the most you can improve the responsiveness.
