Does anyone knows of any adapter using the stock piping for now? buying the ss auto chrome intercooler but out of stock and want to hear that bov under my hood
 
I don't think you'd be able to get that Greddy RS to fit under your hood on stock pipe. I have dejon tool UICP and it still rubs :notgood:
 
Here's how I have a type S installed. It came with a universal mount tube (2.5" tube with a flange).

  • I cut the stock UICP right before where the 2g BOV mount was. It's cut right after where it come out from under the fuse box.
  • I then cut the flex section of the stock UICP and put the universal pipe in. You'll have to measure and mess around to find out exactly where to cut it.
  • I then just clamped it all back up.
  • To recirculate it, I used the stock recirc tube with a piece of 1.25" silicone tube I had laying around.

You might notice that the BOV is slightly tilted. That's the only way I got it to fit b/c of the hood.

links or key work to find this adapter? I wonder if home depot has anything I can
use to rigged that BOV to the stock piping like knoch did, btw that looks great!
 
Nice, do you have any pics of that set up? I wonder if down the line that
could be welded to a hard pipe, whats the additional plug for?
 
Maad mike sup! get me one the next time you up their, this week if possible i want to hear that bov already
 
You can mount Greddy BOVs to a 1G CBV flange by only drilling two holes. I'm not 100% sure that the 1G and 2G flanges are the same, but maybe you could still modify the flange to run the Greddy without buying any adapters. I am not familiar with the 2G CBV as my car had the 1G installed when I bought it.

More info can be found on page 66 of the ebay FMIC thread.

To answer your question above, no you can't run a blow through setup without a MAFT, -that is unless you have a standalone.
 
I'm running a blow through with out a MAFT, I made sure the Intake circulation tube is shut down with a
plug, I am running a Greedy Type RS BOV but wondering what is the worse case scenario if I keep
running this set up, I don't really notice anything different from having it blow though and vented!!
Oh boy is the sound sweeeeet!! I love it, this set up has even increase my PSI by a few numbers!?
T25 under 15 PSI pressure, running it until it gives...
 
i have dejon tool UICP wiht my greddy and it fits great.... im puttin on my FMIC so im going to sell that pipe soon too...
 
Venting without a maft isn't recommended but if you really want the sound just cap off the return tube and tighten the spring on the bov. I wouldn't do it but I know it will get the job done for you.

WTF

Are you some F&F fanboy who thinks BOVs are supposed to sound cool? Put the re-circ tube back on for now and learn the right way to vent, if you must.

Blow-through means that pressurized air is going through your airflow sensor. If you're using the stock Karman sensor, you can't have a blow through setup. The stock sensor doesn't read pressure, only vortex frequency. The stock sensor can only be used for a draw-through setup, where air is metered before it is pressurized, and pressurized air must be released back into the vacuum found just after the airflow sensor.

By venting your CBV/BOV you are releasing metered air. The ECU thinks that air is still going to make it into the engine and adds the fuel to mix with the air that is no longer there. Now your engine has a bunch more fuel than it needs and runs rich for a handful of seconds after the BOV dumps. I'll bet your engine feels like it's pretty whacked when you are high in the rpms and shift, doesn't it? -That's because when the ECU is in open loop mode it uses a pig-rich AFR already, and when that BOV goes off, and you bang the next gear you might even be hitting rich-knock. I absolutely guarantee you that without any boost leaks (venting included) your car will run much stronger.

Got any 7 foot flames jumping out your exhaust when you shift at high rpms? You might want to reconsider venting until you have the proper equipment installed to do so. But then again, it's your car and you'll do whatever you want, just be prepared to be laughed at if anyone knowledgeable sees your engine bay while the recirc inlet is like that.
 
+1 to that man. Go buy a K&N air filter, You will hear the woosh sound even on stock bov. You will also be adding more hp because of a less restrictive flow. You've got a turbo eclipse don't rice it for the sake of DSMTUNERS.COM!!!

WTF!!

I have a K&N filter and my ride isn't rice out, yeah I know about the venting and stick
to the book ordeal...
