1G BOV on a 2G

[nfljohnl]

Whats up everyone,
I'm having a small problem. I recently bought a 99 2g which has a fmic and a 16g with all new intercooler piping with j pipe. The imitation greddy bov that was on there was terrible so I decided to get a 1g. The upper intercooler pipe on my car does seem like it will fit the 1g bov so I dont think I need an adapter. However, I don't know where the lines go from the 1G valve. There is the big nipple on the top and then there are the two holes on the underside. I am a newb so go easy on me I know it sounds stupid, but do i just bolt it on and use rtv and a gasket? I have searched and searched and have not found a good picture to show this. Again a picture is worth 1,000 words. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you def need a gasket and no doesnt need to be t-d off just connect to intake mani and your done

Ok so seeing this thread has me wondering. My supply line to my aftermarket bov is t'd. I'm fairly new to dsm so didn't see any problem with it seeing as I thought it was the proper set up. What do I need to do to fix it. I'll upload a pic of my engine bay so maybe someone can tell where the lines are going and how to correct it. Any help would be appreciated.[DOUBLEPOST=1413120960][/DOUBLEPOST]

You tell us where that line is going. As far as I know, there's nothing that needs a vacuum source near the fusebox area. Run a straight hose from the BOV to the intake manifold. Your setup is not ideal but it's not going to kill anything instantly either.

It's storming here pretty bad but as soon as it lets up I'll check. I've noticed the turbo doesn't seem like my boosted hondas , maybe that's why. Also I got a 1g bov and put it on and it did fine until the boost started building then it cut out so I ended up having to put that crappy aftermarket one back on. Idk what the deal is with that.[DOUBLEPOST=1413122842][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok , just looked. The line t's and goes to my bov and the other line goes to my boost controller.

If you go to the auto parts store they have gasket paper material .You can make your own gasket.

So how can I have my bov and boost controller hooked up so I'm not t'd off?

 

[synthetek]

Thee boost controller should be hooked up to the compressor housing or an intercooler pipe near the compressor outlet. It shouldn't be t'd off the BOV.

 

[BlueMonster]

My controller is manual and has two ports on it. The one from the t is going to it and the other one goes from the controller to the turbo.

 

[synthetek]

One should go to the compressor cover or intercooler pipe, the other goes to the wastegate actuator.

 

[BlueMonster]

I've noticed when I shift the bov sounds like it's fluttering. Could that be the cause?

 

[synthetek]

That could be because the BOV isn't adjusted correctly , but you should hook all the lines up the way there supposed to be 1st.

 

[BlueMonster]

I did notice there's a small cap on an outlet on my ic piping. I'll take it off and run the hoses and ditch the t. I've read a lot on the adjusting of the bov. If I've read right you're supposed to go all the way in and back out a half turn. Is that right?

 

[synthetek]

If its fluttering its probably too tight loosen it a little , about 1/2 turn then see if it gets better , if not try to loosen it more but if its too loose it will leak.

 

[BlueMonster]

Ok , I switched the hoses around but the only port on my ic piping is right before the intake filter. Does that matter?

 

[synthetek]

The boost controller cant go on the intake , it has to go on the compressor housing of the turbo or on the piping that comes out of the turbo before the intercooler. The waste gate actuator opens from positive pressure (boost) the intake doesn't see any boost.

 

[BlueMonster]

I have one going to the wastegate but my boost controller has 2 ports on it. One's going to the wastegate and the other was coming from that t

 

[synthetek]

The one that was going to the t needs to be connected to a boost source, the compressor cover or intercooler pipe near the compressor outlet. The boost controller goes between the boost source and the water gate actuator.

[DOUBLEPOST=1413148541][/DOUBLEPOST]That's how I have it now. I do have one from the boost controller to the wastegate but where I have that the one that was t'd is the only place on the piping I have to put anything.

 

[jimsgsx]

You think I can get the gasket at any normal auto parts store? Or maybe even mitsubishi dealer?

Find a local welding shop. I switched from greddy to 1g also. They made me one for 30 bucks. Cheap and easy for them to do it.

 

[synthetek]

The BOV is correct but the wastegate is not, you cannot hook it to the intake the intake is not a boost source.
