BOV location

[Blitzeclips]

Hey guys before I get my BOV welded to my I/C piping I just wanted to make sure of where the ideal location would be for it.

I'm assuming it shouldn't realy matter, but I plan on mounting it about 1/2 way point of the cold piipes connecting to my TB. Almost right underneath where my battery sits. Does it mattter where the BOV goes as long as its on the cold pipes? I just wanted to be in the clear ffor everything...

You've got it, it needs to be inbetween the throttle body and the intercooler. Most people put it alittle before the pipe gets to the battery, just for clearance issues.

 

[BrokenTsi]

closest to TB is the most ideal spot.

You don't quite want it too close to the tb, but yeah around the battery area is good

half way down the TB pipe.

Holy hell Sui, when did you get the 450HP? I thought you were at 398 for a while there...

What feul setup? I tried your user page but its not working..

 

[BigRand]

I thought you sold your e-clipse. and bought an STI>

Also some of us really miss that www.gsturbo.com website you had going.

 

[siueclipse]

killed the website.

from what i hear the new owner of the car has pushed it to where it is now. i never got it tuned by hahn racecraft, so who knows how much power was hiding in there.

 

[XMasta19]

...well then why does your profile say 437whp/411ft-lbs

EDIT:

heres a question similiar to this. on the hahn intercooler pipe it already has a spot for the BOV, but does it matter which way you weld the flange on?

 

[DSMcrazy3]

Doesn't matter what direction the flange is welded on.

thanx for the info crazy

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you mount your BOV upside down on the pipe will it make any difference? I want it to be less flashy.. for visual smog purposes here in CA..

 

[Alan11]

It doesn't matter, if you have the BOV recirculated then make sure you put the recirculating tube. That's all it matters if not then ups side down it is.

Should make no difference. The air is still going to vent reguardless of the placement of the BOV on the pipe.

I haven't seen a thread like this yet (maybe there is, never cared to look) but I'll contribute to this one

My BOV is on the outlet of intercooler, passenger side. I have it VTA so it's pretty awesome to see stuff scatter on the road when it goes off Pretty sleek too.

In Montana i imagine you could mount a machine gun to your hood and still pass inspection if there is one .. Here in Cali its all about the "sleeper" with all the smog BS we got to deal with.. i hate it

 

[NHerron]

I ed

Pretty much it's true, we don't even HAVE inspection here. You should see some of the POS cars around here...

Typical Montana:
What, our tailpipe is rotted so bad it's nonexistant? Ah just sawzall that thing off! Windshield cracked to hell? We'll replace it when the next bird shatters it while doing 70 down the highway...etc

Don't worry, I take pride in my car. I mean...I even have a catalytic converter

 

[KrazyRob]

Haha thats awesome.. taking pride in ## ride is what its all about... and nice! Stay green with that cat converter hahaha
