just finished installing my vortech bypass valve.....

[Saleen4971]

is the best! ever since i put on my FMIC with an HKS SSQV immitation valve, i had bucking/surging issues, put on the maxflow and BOOM!!!! all gone!!



that and i put on my bbk/roush 75mm tb!



PICS!!


dyno & gear fix tomorrow!!!





new TB with silicoen union that i had to stretch over!!!

maxflow valve and flanged pipe ($$$)

valve installed

teh motor

yeah yeah yeah bad lighting, blah blah blah my camera is real picky

 

[Dragstr05]

Wish my bay had a big shiny circle thingy. Looks good

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Those pictures would have looked so awesome with proper lighting

 

[Saleen4971]

yeah, unfortunately one painting lamp doesnt provide adequate light

 

[ooraceredgt]

that looks nice! how much did that cost and whats the difference between this and stock and was it hard to install? I notice that your intake is 2 piece, does that come with the kit?

 

[Saleen4971]

as compared to the vortechs stock bosch valve? for the money, i tbetter be lightyears ahead!!!

when i put on the FMIC i installed a different bypass valve, since the stock one uses hoses and barbed fittings.

by two piece to you mean the lower/upper plenums? thats how every 4.6 is designed. plastic lower, metal upper elbow, then the TB

 

[sgarlic]

What does it sound like? Does it go "tss-tss-tssssss" like the HKS ones? Or is it more like "kuh-cheeeeee" now?

 

[HoustonGT]

Sweet, that what i want to do when i get my Vortech setup this spring. Is it loud or pretty quiet?

 

[ooraceredgt]

no not the intake plenums, the air intake tube. its two piece right? did you have to fabricate it yourself or was it already like that?

 

[Saleen4971]

ohh teh SC inlet pipe is an anderson ford power pipe. it has that elbow, then the metal pipe, that goes right to the MAF in the fender


makes NO Noise at all

 

[AmBo]

No noise is teh gay. I enjoying hearing the bypass go "shhhhhhhh..."

I hope it perks up once I get my FMIC next spring.

 

[Saleen4971]

the only issue with that vlave is that the discharge is SO big, and the inlet into the power piep is small

on a side note, i was GOING to race this weekend, but since i had to drop $700 at a shop today to find out that at 380rwhp i almsot pegged the MAF, and ran out of fuel. which i pretty much already knew........

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i have the mini race bpv on mine and it is REALLY loud! it makes the "kuh-cheeeeee" sound everytime i let off the gas. i cant imagine anything sounding better!

 

[RedDaemon]

fixt.

what MAF and fuel system are you running?

 

[Saleen4971]

twin cobra pumps, 30# injectors, and 80mm lightning MAF

next step is wiring upgrade, 60#-ers and an SCT 2400 or 2800 MAF. nothign exceeds liek excess!!!
