Hi My car is a very early twin turbo so the VOD is (AFAIK) much more obvious than later cars. In 1/2 gear the VOD is not very noticable because you accelerate...
... <cough> plackky Blow Off Valve </cough> Seriously, one of the reasons the later Legacy twins have less VOD is because they put on a larger/better blow off...

Hiya guys, Anyone have the experience of the Greddy e-manage ECU manger? I saw from the internet, it could use a Lap-top to set the Airflow'fuel ratio etc with...
Paul I think we're describing 2 things as VOD 1) slight hesitation as you accelerate through 4-4.5K rpm 2) much larger loss of boost if you change up at around...
Paul, If we are both talking about the same thing, your VOD seems lower than mine - is this something left over from the auotmatic? Seems unlikely as you've...
Any of the UK lads up on an item for Keith? Techtom's unit monitors it too, but seems overkill. The lamda sensor will tell you if the engine is running lean or...

Keith (via Anton) the techtom unit (mdm100 s2) will show lambda sensor activity - but you won't learn much from this - it will read 'rich' or 'lean' on both...
This has been a source of confusion on the Liberty-B4 email list (Aus-based list), as people can't agree as to what the VoD is. I for one firmly believe it's...
Justin, They are both the valley of death. The valley of death is referenced as the drop in power/boost while the secondary turbo is brought into play. This is...
True - the inventor of the term will likely chime in, but the gap in the turbos up the rev range AND the chasm you can fall into if you shift into it are...

So you invented it eh !! Damn you Paul......<tic> You know, on the track last Friday, the VOD proved a real pain in the butt on about 2 corners where light ...

James, I'm just about to import my RSK B4 from Cyprus, can you give me any advice on insurance, and any other useful hints Thanks Steve ... From: james embrey...
Hey Pauls, Just wondering about how you guys that are racing your legacys find accelerating out of corners works best. I remember someone saying something...
or try Osbourne insurance - cheaper but with a larger excess - but no Tracker required - phone number in japanese import mags as far as I can remeber. Alex...
Flip flop I always run my car on super unleaded and normally a tin of pro boost as well. The pro boost is worth it if your on a good country road. For motorway...

Paul, Great suggestion. I think the logo should be simply the B4 though as it is more universal. Remember it is a Liberty here for most of us in Aus. As to the...

So, finally, everything is installed. The installation went well, all the Whiteline pieces are well matched to the B4. The only problem was with the front ARB...

Good question Steve. I found that planting the right foot about a second before I needed full juice works best. So normally, you might start accelerating about...

Hi I've been experimenting with my VOD (Sounds unpleasant ;-) ) and on my car (94 GT auto converted to manual with Scoobysport exhaust) 1900 rpm - 2800 rpm...
TCU ? Paul ?? Are you still using the standard boost controller on the primary ? Also, you may be getting some BOV leakage. Normal seems to be between 3500 and...
