Nice,thx for sharing. Fellow 08 rdx owner. 154k bought few mo ago. Just had the valves lashed exhaust was 3 to 4 thousands tight glad I did it. Having a gas smell in my oil so looking into the injectors. I noticed a black plastic orifice kinda lvl with valve cover ledge by that big round thing below pcv tube where it comes out valve cover, is there something I'm missing there???
we installed this BOV on my brothers 08 and it just flutters, it won’t open at all and we have no idea why. only thing turbosmart says on their guide is about low idling and stalling but his car does nothing bad like that it just won’t go PSSSSHHHH or open at all, i’ve tried the adjustment twisting and everything and it just won’t open, any idea what could be causing this?
I went with the gfb it's cost more but work great had it for 4 years now still working and the adjustment work to how loud u want it but I notice the gas cap comes on so I just close the adjustment but u can still hear it even without it's open
So why? The factory part had a fantastic silicone gasket and engineers designed it for that car. Amy H.P gains or you just like the sound of a deflating mattress.
Does anyone know the top speed for the 2012 4cyl turbo rdx? I just got one, but the tires are sketch. Thank you for the vids. I need to do the following to 2012 rdx fwd 4cyl turbo. For preventative maintenance and maybe peace of mind. There are no service record for this car. (Cheap car deal or possible lemon.) Car runs great I think. Plenty of pep. Lots of pep actually. Very fast little grocery getter that you can park anywhere without worrying about body damage. Transmission oil (filter?) Alignment Spark plugs (?) Coil packs (?) Air filter Injector clean (seafoam, Lucas, other pour in tank brands)
my 2012 RDX is white like yours! I drove a bit too hard and now i'm hearing a bad sound when they turbo starts spooling up... like a fan blade rubbing against something while it's spinning. I'm trying to figure out what's happening and i came across your video. the neighborhood you drove through looks like maryland, where i live! thanks for sharing the video and once i figure out my turbo problem i must just have to install a blowoff valve! cheers
@@CKnight88 I added more oil, it was pretty low, and the noise went away. I’m guessing the turbine wasn’t getting enough lubrication?? I haven’t heard it since and the turbo seems to be working normally
I used 3 shims, and yes, I started from the softest position, as far as turns goes, I didn’t count how many turns, I was turning it to keep the idling steady and normal.
You turn the adjuster pass the softest setting until it comes off, and you will see a spring, you put the shim either under the spring or over the spring, then you put the adjuster back on.
Dude i recently got my license and my car is my parents old 2010 RDX and im looking for mods and this ones lit. Definitely gonna try and get this. You got anymore mods to make the car sound sick?
Tbh sounds just like k&n intake when throttle is released just so quieter , does it flutter ? I feel like I can hear mine flutter at a low rpm without the bov just k&n intake

How much are these valves and are they available in Canada?
Did you figure out what the noise was?
@@CKnight88 I added more oil, it was pretty low, and the noise went away. I’m guessing the turbine wasn’t getting enough lubrication?? I haven’t heard it since and the turbo seems to be working normally
Can I have a link to the PVC Hose. ???
I bought it from Lowe’s
Do you need a tune up after installing the BOV? And is there any issues so far with your motor or turbo because you used a aftermarket BOV ?
I didn’t need a tune, I have no issue with it so far, other than a small amount of turbo flutter
Sounds like u got a couple lights
I can promise you there were no lights
@@SokhomGarage dud you ever have compressor surge?
Nope, no surge or flutter noise
@@SokhomGarage where did you get the new vacuum hose? And size?
Did it throw any codes?
No codes, car runs normal
How’s your setup so far? Any Engine light? Planning to put the same setup on my RDX 2010
Works fine, no lights
Would u please make a video putting the washer and making adjustments to soft/hard?
Is the sound loud where other people can hear it or just you?
You definitely hear it in the car, not sure if it’s loud on the outside.
I just bought one
How reliable is your rdx
Pretty reliable
@@SokhomGarage what’s miles on yours
Currently has over 260k miles
@@SokhomGarage damn did it ever gave u problems ?
No, I maintenance all my cars myself. Own this car for over 10yrs.
Did you have to use any shims with your Rdx?
I did, shims cam with the BOV
How many did you have to use?
And from the most softest position, how many times do you think you turned it until it was just right
I used 3 shims, and yes, I started from the softest position, as far as turns goes, I didn’t count how many turns, I was turning it to keep the idling steady and normal.
@@SokhomGarage how do you install the shims?
You turn the adjuster pass the softest setting until it comes off, and you will see a spring, you put the shim either under the spring or over the spring, then you put the adjuster back on.

I plan on doing more upgrades such as bigger turbo, front mount inter cooler, big brake swaps , and more along the future.
How much adjustments were required and would it be different for all 2011 RDX?
put a bigger turbo
Tbh sounds just like k&n intake when throttle is released just so quieter , does it flutter ? I feel like I can hear mine flutter at a low rpm without the bov just k&n intake
It flutter when first installed, but after adjustment, it’s fine
