1) We DON'T vent to atmosphere, it's bad.

2) I've heard everything from 35mm film cans to freeze plugs to bathroom sink stoppers.

3) YOU DON'T WANT TO VENT TO ATMOSPHERE. YOUR MOTOR DOESN'T WANT YOU TO.

I taped a golfball to it once when i was bored and sitting around, it worked well, but as stated above, venting is bad.

because when the BOV relieves the intake system of excess pressure,that air has already been metered by the MAS,and if it dose'nt go back into the intake, the car gives fuel for a false amount of air and the car runs rich because of it,it can also cause idling problems.

you might want to check out the plug i have. its an expansion plug. they're the best thing ive used to plug up the hole.

uh, yeah, i used ot have mine venting too, and letting of the gas when gunning it and getting backfired is the single most coolest thing in the world, especially when your tryin got represent a team or beat the shit out of domestics. heres a better idea, leave it the way it is, and then buy your self a gm translator, gm mas, and blowthrough setup then you can vent al you want with no problems.

Well Im sure that ALMOST everybody on here has vented their bov at least once just to hear what it would sound like.

My and just about everybody elses recommendation is not to vent, but if you must this is the best way to plug up the little hole in the tube

(if you have pop up lights only)

Just take the little rubber cap off one of the manual headlight adjustment knobs and use that...works great.

There is one on each side and they work great.

Water bottle cap and electrical tape. Works like a charm.

empty 35mm film can perfect fit

 

[metabolic666]

dont be ghetto. just go down to the local home depot motorsports store and buy an expansion plug. i have a pic on my gallery. its easy and all you have to do is turn the wingnut till its nice and tight.they cost me 2.39, cant beat that. hope this helps.

 

[thehyena]
