Reversing BOV???

[GSTdOff]

I read somewhere that reversing the stock 2g BOV can allow the car to run more PSI w/o the BOV leaking. Anyone know if its true and if so, how exactly is it done??

right.....buy a 1g bov for 30 bucks off ebay and call it a day

yeah dont even mess with the 2gen bov, just get a 1st gen if your looking for cheap or quick way to hold more boost.

i have done this on my eclipse...... it does work and it sounds pretty cool to boot (thats the ricer in me speaking) but yeah i just bought my 1g off ebay this morning it is the cheapest best way to go.

actually, doing this would make the 2G bov function just like the HKS bov. So... it may just hold more boost. Just take it out, and turn 90 degress, and plug back in again.

I just turned my BOV 90 degrees coutnerclockwise and the cars idle would surge. Is this because the recirculation hose wasnt on? I couldn't fit it to recirculate back into the intake like stock. Do you guys who do this mod have the same problem?? Do you guys leave the recirculation hose off and vent it to the atmosphere or do you buy a flex-a-hose to re route it?? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

reversing it mean taking it off and reinstalling it with the outlet in the ic pipe and the inlet going to the intake pipe. Not turning it 90 deg.

Oh i see!! Thank you so much for this info it is greatly appreciated!!

im gonna keep my 2g bov around
i might slap my old t25 on a friends jetski sometime and it would be perfect

 

[GSTdOff]

Ok I tried switching the outlet and inlet like 92awddsm said, but the BOV outlet wouldn't fit into the intercooler pipe and the inlet wouldn't fit into the intake. Can someone take a picture of a reversed BOV or give me some direction here?

I've done it ages ago it works fine and gives no other problems! i have run it as high as 25 psi boost and they dont leak why spend $40 if you dont have to!

 

[GSTdOff]

Ok, someone has to have instructions/knowledge on how to do this. HELP!!

do a search under "angry chicken" or something like that, I know it involves upset chickens. . . that is the common name of this modification. I saw it in action at the Hood River run by NWDSM. It sure sounded lame, but i guess he said it held more boost. . . using his (enter lamo brand boost guage here) gauge he determined it did indeed hold more boost.

but i would bet that the ammount of time you have already spent trying to make this work, you could have mowed enough lawns to buy a friken 1g bov and just be better off. . . just an observation.

Oh, and dont forget to mention El Hamacho the winingest #### fighter in all of mexican history. when you respond to this thread.

i guess they didnt like it when i typed ####, so we shall use caulk instead. thank you.

 

[hondamunchergsx]

i love

the "angry pigeon" mod, is actually a mod you do to the 1G BOV to make it hold more boost then it already does. an alternative to "crushing" the BOV, a more efficient one
