All Forge Bpv Owners

[laloosh]

As you know my car has been stuttering with the forge bpv on. i put the stocker back on and my problems all went away.

IF YOU VALVE ROTATES AROUND THE FLANGE, IT IS LEAKING!!!!
i called forge and he confirmed that it should not be rotating at all.

this is an easy fix. Take the valve off, turn it upside down, you will c a snap ring with two depressions in it. insert needle nose pliers into the depressions and rotate the ring clockwise as hard as you can untill the flange no longer budges.


BTW i called 3 poeple with this vavle....all of theirs were leaking, chances are yours is 2.


you welcome(headbang)

Thats funny, should have known this already laloosh. It shouldnt spin at all...

 

[laloosh]

u know i did find it a lil odd....but never though anything off it lol.

 

[knowledge007]

Nice kill by the way on that Mach...You got to love it.

 

[laloosh]

yea it was funny, the list of excuses was even better though.

laloosh, so that means all your issues are solved with your mbc and bcd that you were talking about? I know you were experimenting to find out what the problem was, so this was it? Or is it still weather related do you think?

nope it was the leaking forge bpv. i race my car about 5 time last night in 34 degree weather with the stock bpv and not one single issues.

Is it something that could just shake loose or was it a (no offence intended) just a poor install?

 

[laloosh]

mine came liek that, i just didnt know it would cause a problem. its noting to do with the install, its the valve itself.

How do I test this theory? When I replaced the spring, the only part that unscrewed and or rotated was the top portion.

 

[laloosh]

see if you could turn the whole valve on the flange. add some effort ans don't be afraid to break it. mine was real loose

 

[ill_eagle94]

I'm assuming the easiest way to do this is with it bolted onto the car?

 

[scooter3]

What do you consider loose? I tried to move mine and it only moved like a cm and stopped.

 

[blaggah]

So the problems you were having after installing your TBE were from this, or do you still attribute those to the gas you used?

 

[laloosh]

bpv related 100 percent

i had to muscle mine for it to move, so i dont think i had a leak. i did remove the valve and tighten it up just for good measure. i only got like 1/16" of a turn and it was as tight as i could get it. everyone should check this out for sure.

 

[laloosh]

makes no difference...my car stubbled with the forge on last night. I think im going to call for a new valve...i just might have a leaky one. Witht he stock valve the car runs great.

 

[tru-boost]

did you open it up and make sure all the o-rings are still in place ? there is one on the flange... one around the top of the threads where the lid screws on, and if you pull the piston out, i believe there are 2 rings on the piston. maybe one fell out or is torn ??

 

[laloosh]

i dunno, i never had the whole thing apart, but im getting sick of it. Patrcik at forge was very helpful and said he would replace it no problem. So im gonna give them a call alter on and get my new valve.

 

[ill_eagle94]

It won't take care of the issue. If it leaked, you would not hit fuel cut, you would just feel a dip in power. Besides, I thought you had a boost gauge?
