Looked a this pic, are they ok??

[mitsuclipsegsx]

First the bov, i put on new fmic and new intake doesnt fit to good, think its ok, and oil return line, looks kinda cripped,

 

[mitsuclipsegsx]

couple more

Fix that return line. It will cause serious smoking out your tailpipe.

EDIT: Just saw the new pics, it doesnt look as bad as the first pic but I would still address it.

 

[ROOKIE1]

You would want less restriction in both . Looks like you may have made it worse .

try this for your bov tube easy fix http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163819&highlight=i+invented+a+new

 

[mitsuclipsegsx]

thanks for the quick replays, yea the oi return line is bad, gotta fix that now.

i don't have a digital camera, so i can't take pix of my before and after set up (regarding the bov return tubing). however, after i did my smic install, the location of the intake and the bov were drastically different, so i needed to purcahse different piping. the piping basically fit, but not perfectly. i had to bend it (and therefore "collapse" the tubing) so it would line up correctly.

i got two more clamps that would fit around the return tube and tighten them so that the "crease" was more circular shaped. by the looks of it, you may need to use 3 or 4 clamps if you use this method.

EDIT: also, by the looks of the return tube it does not seem that it is symmetrical (meaning the piping may line up differently if you flit the piping). try that (u probably already have and the fitment was even worse).

If you want to, you can always run to your local hardware store and buy one of those 90* brass plumbers fittings (you like how I always suggest them , huh? ). Then you can just cut pieces off of the rubber hose you have there and rig your return system to have no kinks. As far as your oil return goes, where did you get your fittings from? If it's from SBR, Mike Huml mentioned in a thread months ago that he had his kit "corrected". The easiest way to get that line straight and unkinked is to use 2 45* fittings. I'm assuming you have 2 straight fittings. Either way, with the hose being that tough, I can't see how you're going to get it to not be kinked. Hell, even with my straight + 45* fitting it's slightly kinked.

Here's what I did. Where the tube bends, I just add an extra metal clamp and tighten it a bit. Keeps it from bending.

Get the maf translater and vent to atmophure sounds really good...

 

[daren_p]

Because of my short route fmic setup my bov wasn't even close to the stock setup. I took 2 factory return tubes and cut them to use the angles I needed, then got a chrome jpipe they use for plumbing & cut it to the length I needed. You can sorta see what I'm talking about in the engine pic in my gallery. That was from last fall when I quickly rigged it up before storage, looks much better now but haven't got a pic yet.

 

[mitsuclipsegsx]

crazy idea, but think this will work?

 

[transplant2g]

No, that won't. You should be able to use heater hose fine, but it looks like the AN fitting is simply pointed towards the side causing the crease. I am using a braided line with AN fittings and it works well. Granted the braided line is overkill.

As far as the BOV, try removing the hose and putting a filter in the intake pipe. That's all me and my buddies have done and the cars run fine. (some results may vary)

Good Luck

why wont it work?

 

[blcknspo0ln]

You should do more research, but there have been instances of hybrid turbos blowing because the return line was too long. I don't know why, but call AGP and they will tell you (since they were the vendor that pointed out this problem).

 

[mitsuclipsegsx]

agp is closed, so i hooked it up, didnt run it yet, so this would be bad, how, only thing i can think of is not enough pressure to go all the way through?

 

[Xplicit93AWD]

I would use it but cut the hose shorter so it's not such a long route to get to the bottom.

 

[mitsuclipsegsx]

think their is enough pressure to get the oil all the way

 

[Xplicit93AWD]

Well I just happen to like things to kept like if mitsu wanted it like that so the length of that hose i would make it as close as possible to the stock you can without kinking the line. IMO

 

[TRBOBLU]

I would try not to loop it like that. The only thing that makes the oil go back into the pan is gravity. Thats why the return it like 6 times the size of the feed because gravity is feeding the return line not pressure. The only thing that scares me is that I saw a factory return line that was not quite 1/4 of the way clogged with grime. That little bit of restriction caused oil to blow past the turbo seals because it couldnt drain properly. Just something to consider.

 

[mitsuclipsegsx]

ok, got a quick question, if i pull the oil return line off,from the turbo, should oil come out?

 

[bluetlr2001]

You should lose some oil when you remove the line normally. But it want just pour out like pullingn the drain plug. plus it depends on how long the car has sat not being run, bc all the oil will have drained down after awhile
