Looks like a greddy type-s but with a different body. It should work fine.

look doubtful i wouldnt put it on a dsm plus the pipe is awkward!!

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

The pipe is strange but that is becasue it came from a Silvia and ther BOV's are close to the SMIC. but the BOV itself looks to be built just like a Greddy. I would put it on my car.

It isn't going on a DSM. It is going on a Escort GT....slightly modified. I didn't want to have to weld a pipe. This route, I can just hook up the IC pipes and be done.

The ARC are supposed to be one of the best BOVs in Japan...

ARC BOV's and wastegates are used widely in Japan and Australia. Very well built unit, and very good reputation.

Turbocharged Escort GT !. Got any pics?

 

[Prophet]

Mine isn't turbo charged yet. This is my winter/spring project. The turbo is in the mail as we speak. I am doing a full rebuild of my 1.8L motor and also will be boring it out. I will post pics when it is done. On the exterior it will look stock, but as most of you know, what counts is under the hood!

Bringign a dead topic back to life...Anyone else have any luck w/ ARC? It came on my TTA when I bought it and I took it off and now I was looking to put the GSX but iw as wondering if anyone had done it before...I noticed on it that the puck doesn't fit into the hole in the flange...Is it alright or does the hole need to be opened up? I have no experience w/ aftermarket BOV's, Do they need to be adjusted and if so how?

Thanks, Bobby.
