monkonmonk Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 fahr, I don't know why DTC is disabled. I will turn it on and take another LV. Give me 3 min. iNVAR, for time sake, could I just switch back to stock TMIC? Also, as for the BPV it is all stock, including the rubber o-ring gasket.

iNVAR Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 So you have no other gasket on your BPV other than that rubber o-ring? That could be a problem. You don't a gasket shaped like this on there? http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/lgt-style-bov-bpv-gasket-template-131741.html Stop by your local auto store and buy a sheet of gasket material and cut one out.

Nope, no gasket. I don't recall there ever being one. I will do that, but I have never had one on there. Was there one originally from the factory? When I got my TMIC I had to clean a bunch of RTV off of it but I figured that was due to some aftermarket BOV. Here is the LV with DTC enabled.

iNVAR Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There should be a gasket on there. It should've come with the AVO TMIC. If I recall correctly, mine came with a gasket when I purchased it brand new. Put a gasket on there, and like I said, RTV the lower bolt hole... or put teflon tape onto the bolt. Remember, it strips easily though so be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Done and done. I will start on that immediately. Thanks. Is that gasket in addition to the rubber o-ring or do I remove the o-ring when I install the gasket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Um, it's not normal to use a gasket plus an o-ring. It's usually one or the other eh.

iNVAR Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 And RTV or teflon tape. I'd prefer RTV. Not sure if teflon would hurt if some got into intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have the RTV and three separate gasket materials. Cork-Rubber Rubber-Fiber Tan Fiber Preference? Also, while I wait for the RTV to dry can I use the stock TMIC to check the leaky BPV gasket idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Material probably won't make a difference. Rubber I guess would be fine. The RTV is supposed to be put onto the bolt and threaded into the hole while still wet. So that it dries inside and makes the seal. Even if it doesn't have a change to fully cure or it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Made the gasket and letting things dry, I will try to drive a bit tonight after a reset and take another LV when I get back. Can a BPV go bad by using it on a Stg 2 tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I don't believe they 'go bad'. Some are just tougher than others.

monkonmonk Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Are we making any progress? I am getting a sinking feeling the answer is no. The car felt much better, but clearly something is wrong as the IAM is going the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkonmonk Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 No, you are right. I was referencing that from the reset of 0.750 it is still not going to 1.000 but the other way. Basically, I am getting the feeling I need to suck it up, get a new laptop and log for you guys to really tell me what is going on, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Yes, we need a log. This isn't telling us anything at all except something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 So, I did not make headway today on the laptop, but I did try to log via the OP 2.0. Not sure exactly what I am doing. How do I open it? The file is an 18kb file with one or two pulls (not sure if it amends the file or not) with a '.out' as the extension. Whole file name is logcfg.out I cannot post it to the website...Grrrr. also, I tried to use the RR Defogger as the switch, i hope it worked. Details on this would be appreciated since I am having to use the desktop for now. Also, I did take a learning view, but it looks like I didn't drive far enough for that to have a meaning. Thanks again. I really do appreciate all the help and feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well, IAM is heading up which is good. Not seeing knock at low IAM doesn't mean too much as timing is still held low by IAM being <1.00... 'logout' is just a text file which is used for debugging the logging process, it's not a log as such. Logs will be created as .csv files on the card. If you have a logout file being created and no .csv file there is something wrong with the configuration file which tells the OP2 how and what to log. 1. Make sure you have your logcfg.txt file in the root of the SD card. 2. Make sure it has the correct filename extension, '.txt'. 3. Try using the tool on this page to create a new config file. You can try creating a file from the text pasted below if you can't figure that tool out. I made it to log on the slower K-Line protocol as I don't know if your ECU was patched to log on the faster CANbus protocol or not.

monkonmonk Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 There was nothing on the sd card, but my text file and this .out file. What do you mean by root of the card? There are no folders and it was formatted via FAT32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Good. Not in a folder = in the root level. Copy the code above into the logcfg.txt file in it's entirety, that and nothing else. Make sure the file is not named 'logcfg.txt.txt' by mistake. Make sure the SD card is not locked or write-protected when you pop it back into the OP2. You can tell if the trigger (in this case the defogger button) is causing the OP2 to create a log by the red and green LEDs in the case flashing quickly. This page will give you more information on standalone logging than you could possibly need.

monkonmonk Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I checked to see if it worked and I must have copied and pasted wrong. Yours worked and created a csv file so I will log some pulls tomorrow and report data back. Thanks, Fahr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Alright, two logs for your viewing pleasure. These are both 2nd gear pulls as speed limits on the way to work don't allow for 3rd. Also, this is a LV after these drives. I did not reset it before making this run and taking these logs as compared to the previously posted LV. Let me know what you think.log0001.csvlog0002.csv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkonmonk Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Two more real quick... The first one is in Sport # (log#3) and the other is in 'I' Intelligent (log#5)in case it makes a difference. Also, I did one just cruising (log#4). I thought it might be something that is only happening at the higher rpms. No LV after the jaunt back to work, just logs.
