GaleForce's build

GaleForce

Sorry

I put them in for my wife. She is barely in the Z, but when she is, she uses the heats and melts (a good thing). I have to look after her since she supports everything I do with this car.

I wish I had some photos to share . Everything is in limbo which, is ok because we still have a crap load of snow here. Double

My project list,

• Install seats, harnesses, harness bar. Seats will be ~5 weeks.
• Find a factory strut bar. (Wiggins might be able to help me out with this)
• Get strutbar and harness bar painted.
• Install fuel pump relay/wiring upgrade.
• Call TiAL ask about a fix for BOV's sticking open during idle. This is apparently a common issue as found by doing a simple Google search and seeing many hits with the same issue.
• Swap out red crankcase filters with more descrete black ones.
• Modify/rebuild the craptastic Password JDM rad cooling plate.
• Fabricate some sort of rear difuser for the Amuse bumper.
• Fabricate something to give me a front tow hook. Possibly fab a crash bar with threads for tow hook. If/when I do this I will make 4 or 5 for anyone that has a BP kit that may want one. I'm not looking for crash protection as much as a place for my tow strap (when at shows) and licence plate for daily driving.

Anything I'm forgetting?

I might be interested in a crash bar depending on what you come up with. I'd have to do some research to see if what you come up with will fit a G.

Keep us posted on the TiAL BOV fix. If it's that common then it's likely something we will all need to know.

It's not as bad as it looks. I'll do the fuel pump wiring when I'm wiring up the heated seats and have the stock seats out. Harness bar will be installed at the same time. Probably 2 days there.

Breather filters are a 5 minute job, BOV springs are a 5 minute job (assuming I need to replace the springs with a stiffer version).

The rear diffuser and the tow hook bar can be "anytime". It would be a nice addition to help set my rear bumper apart from the other Amuse bumpers.

I just remembered, I think I found a solution for oil warm up when cold. I need to verify my findings before I source the parts and pull the trigger.

The big hold back is getting a factory strut bar. If I had that I could get my parts painted now.

I got you on strut bar, I just need to be home to get it all together.

It's funny say something about the pwjdm cooling plate I have CFE fixing mine now.

Regarding the tow hook. Have you considered the Takata tow strap? It definitely requires some fabricating, but I'm getting mine altered now. I'll post on my thread when I get it. Hopefully the next couple of weeks.

I know you haven't forgot about me and the strut bar. Though it would be better if you sold me your TS bar.

I like your Takata tow strap idea



I just need something to mount it to since I don't have the tow hook/crashbar any more. I thought the intercooler was more important

Not much of an update.

Still waiting on seats, and strut bar. I tried to contact TiAL, they only offer an email address for contact, no phone number that I could find. So I emailed them my issue with the BOV's sticking open at idle. I received one reply, they asked what my boost gauge shows when that happens. I responded back and haven't heard anything else. It's not like I have a rare problem, google 'TiAL BOV sticking during idle' and tons of hits come up. I don't know how these companies stay in business with such lousy customer service.

From what I've read you just need to put in a stiffer spring. It is opening because the vacuum is stronger than the spring at idle.

Thank you.

The problem is getting in contact with someone so I can purchase a pair of springs.

Did the bov come with more than 1 and is it possible to stack them like in a wg?

It's strange how so many people have this problem and they haven't done anything to mitigate it.

No spring options in my Tial BOV box and I'm positive Gale and I received the same box

Do you know the spring psi? They are available up to 12.
