dsm bov question
 
i have 2 dsm bovs and i was debating on which on to use based of the sound and them leaking. one of them is the metal on off the 1g and the other is off of the 2g. so let me know your thoughts . oh im only going to be pushing like 7psi at the most on a dohc zc

1g for sure...
The 2g is a leaking POS. Either wouldn't be too bad for 7psi though.

that motor will take 10psi. 10psi, nothing less. low boost is for high comp n/a motors and poor tuning

You gotta turn it upto 10psi. 10psi is the minimum around here on stock blocks, especialy a zc.

youll run 7 for a week at most and realize that its weak. then youll turn it to 10+

just get a basemap from xenocron. turn that ---- to 10 psi
i had a stock zc @10psi. running a xenocron basemap. ran great for 6 months then i sold it. the new owner has it around 14 psi. he's gonna blow that ---- up, but he's had it like that for the last 2 weeks.

Re: dsm bov question
 
so were you just running the base and thats it and did you send him your ecu or used one of the maps from his forum. i was lookin at the one that had a d16z6 street tuned with a wideband what do yall think about that map?

Re: dsm bov question
 
i bought this from him

http://www.-------------/catalog/chip...cus-p-277.html
and added in the custom basemap, then i realized that the ecu i bought already was chipped and all i needed was the basemap. so i have all the other ---- laying around in a little baggy waiting for another ecu to get chipped.

just like any of the files on his website and any custom basemap you buy, it's just a basemap. you need to get it tuned to your car. unless you are a cheap ass like me, then you just rock a basemap.

10 psi or higher...
you are gonna blow your ---- up. :D
i lasted a month at 10 psi then went to 12psi. 12 just felt so much better, almost like my motor wanted to be at 12psi.
the new owner asked me the other day why it's sputtering at full boost, like it's running out of gas. i told him it's not meant to be at 14-15 psi and that the fuel pump is stock.
