The point is to not have a leaking BOV.

I haven't really looked at the engine bay too closely. The car is about 6000miles away from me. I had it for one day before flying away. Silly me for not knowing it is plastic.

But, the reason for leaving the stock IC pipe (the BOV I bought has a 1G pipe on it), is that the stock airbox must remain (for the most part). ANY modification I make must be able to be very quickly and easily converted back to stock.

The car is being shipped to Europe as soon as I can get back the USA. The car must be stock to get license plates but since the GSX was never sold in Europe, I can get away with a little bit (i.e. they won't notice a stock looking BOV but they would notice an airbox being gone).

If I can get a a little time before the car is shipped, I will through on a different turbo (that looks stock) and do some minor mods for boost increase. I want another 50-60hp. I hope to be able to break 155mph. The car is geared for a little over 160, just doesn't have the power. I just want to be able to keep up with the faster traffic on the highway (how embarrasing would it be to have a big e-class benz with a 70 year old driver pass a car with a big wing on the back running flat out??).

Not to be an ass (but my pappy always told me..."if your good at something, stick with it")...

Granted the 2G has a speedometer that goes to 170, that does not mean that it will go anywhere near that speed in factory trim. Since you will be traveling on the Autobahn you should have the distance to eventually get up to the 140ishMPH range, running the OEM turbo (T25). Even with an additional 50-60WHP you will be hard pressed to get into the 150s for any sustainable time as the engine will be in the 6KishRPM range and then cooling WILL become an issue.

Accelerating to a top speed quickly for a short amount of time requires a totally different mindset than going top speed for a long time. Then if you want to do both...you better have deep pockets.

This car just will not do it within your parameters. But good luck with that!

I want to be able to handle susstained speeds around 200kmh (125mph). That is all the faster that one can reasonably drive at any given time. Many times speeds aroung 160-180kmh.

However, there are Sunday morning with no traffic as good weather (hard days to find) where there are clear roads. Then I want to go down the highway.

Is the colling system just not up to ask of keeping the temps down running near 6K rpm? Most cars I have driven in Europe (got a Saab 9-3 this morning as a rental car) can pretty much run ful open.

I think that a bigger turbo will help keep temps down but maybe I need a thicker core radiator and a higher flowing water pump?


Oh, I must also say that trips to the Nuerburgring aren't out of the question. That will be hard on the car as it really screws up brakes. People pushing cars hard on stock brakes really get brakes hot.

The only reason I would buy this kit is if I got a 1G bov for free; the price of this kit and a 1G bov would be better put into a higher quality bov. That's just my two cents, the stock 2g bov works fine until you start pushing more boost, It leaks at around 14psi.

but yeah, this would be the simplest method.

Furthermore, you can find these adapters on ebay for $15. I have one on my stock piping as well with a 1g Forge BOV. Still waiting on that ETS FMIC kit before replacing everything but holding boost past 20 psi is nice.

would this piece make my greddy RS work with the stock intercooler piping on my 2g?

Yes.

 

[daren_p]

I think the more important question is why would you want to bolt an aftermarket BOV onto the crappy/restrictive factory pipeing

 

[Project90Talon]

Go for the hard piping, then worry about getting a better BOV.

 

[donswan]

Why don't you just go to a junk yard and find a UICP from a 1G. It's hard pipping and it already has that flange on there.

I found a good deal on a 1g bov and pipe. I have fmic and hard piping up to the rubber hose that connects to the throttle elbow so my bov sits on the hard pipe. My question is the 1g pipe made of? my plan was to just cut and weld the flange from the 1g pipe to my piping if it just didn't bolt up and I wanted to make sure the 1g pipe was metal.

 

[LandoAWD]

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but the stock BOV mounting pipe on a 1g was metal, as are most (if not all) FMIC pipes. They could be made from stainless or aluminum, however.

I have aftermarket metal piping on my 2g and wanted to know if the stock 1g bov pipe was metal, that way I could just cut and weld the stock flange from the 1g pipe onto my 2g aftermarket metal pipe(that is if the 1g bov won't already bolt up to my pipe).
