Did I Just Get Ripped Off On This Greddy Bov? Will This Work??

[gieri002]

I won this auction earlier today but I just noticed that it doesn't have the hard/soft screw and bolt at the top, will this still work and how hard will this be to replace?

THIS IS THE AUCTION:

Your link is not working....

 

[gieri002]

Sorry here's some pics

You should be able to replace it with some other set screw. I will look I might have one off a damaged BOV i could give you

 

[Boosted gsx]

I had a greddy type s that the top screw was stripped out of so I JB welded it in. You will have a major vacuum leak if you dont plug it....

 

[gieri002]

If you did I would definitely pay for it, I'm freaking out that this thing won't work.... I also ordered a road race engineering UICP with a Greddy flange, so i'm going to have to make it work somehow!

 

[gieri002]

Crap thats what I was afraid of, do you have any pics of what exactly you JB welded?

 

[Boosted gsx]

yea let me try to find them

 

[gieri002]

Here's a pic of the inside of a Greddy BOV I found on some Honda forum, It sort of looks like it will still be sealed. What exactly should I be looking for that I would need to seal?

 

[gieri002]

Sweet I would really appreciate it, I won't be able to sleep until I know...

 

[gieri002]

Anybody know where I can find a diagram of the parts that make up a Greddy BOV?

 

[Boosted gsx]

Sorry bro I guess i already deleted it but its the hole in the very top of it. I would get a screw about that size and jb weld it in. You should be good it will just be on the softest setting.

Do you know if the threads on the top hole are still intact? If so just go to a hardware store and replace it with a bolt. And if not just tap the hole and place a bolt in it so you can adjust the bov.

And its not like you got ripped off. The Ebay ad clearly shows that the top adjustment bolt was missing.

 

[gieri002]

Ya thats true and I payed about $40 for it.....

 

[gieri002]

Im not sure, to tell you the truth I don't really know what the inside of the bov looks like anyone have any pics?

 

[gieri002]

Will it hurt my car to run it on a the softest setting?

 

[Boosted gsx]

its on the very outside of the case on top

Sweet thanks bro, I think ill just take the bov to the home depot the day I get it and see what I can do!

 

[Boosted gsx]

Yea no problem good luck with it...they are good bov when their working

 

[gieri002]

Ya that's what I hear, I hope it holds up after I ghetto rig it though!

 

[Boosted gsx]

for 40 bucks you really cant complain. Mine worked good after so I think youll be alright

Original poster: You don't have to make multiple posts. You can click edit and add more to a previous post instead of 3 posts in a row.

On topic: Once you find a bolt to fit it, I would suggest rapping the bolt with teflon tape so it doesn't leak boost. And from my experience these bov's work pretty good until you start running higher boost levels.

 

[gieri002]

Wow, I didn't even notice I could edit my posts. Sorry I'm pretty new to this but does the bolt just push down on the top assembly? So it wouldn't matter what size the bolt is as long as I can get it to thread in correct?

As far as boost, It won't be seeing above 20psi for awhile...
