The 25mm hose should be easy enough to get hold of with approximately the correct bends etc, it is just a case of whether there is enough clearance with the lid closed. Suggested locations shown on the picture below.Now, In its current location, I am by no means a fat bas*ard, nor do I have fat fingers but I will be damned if I can get in to rotate the ring on the BOV to change the settings. A new location would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still a bit of a tight fit but it is out of the way and you can turn the ring in that position.Repco had the hose in stock and that's how I got it to face that way.

Do you have any pics?And do you know what the Repco part number was for the hose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Basher_tsv Guests Posted 27/05/04 05:58 AM Share Posted 27/05/04 05:58 AM This is how mine sits .. and adjusting it is too hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Basher_tsv Guests Posted 27/05/04 06:03 AM Share Posted 27/05/04 06:03 AM Cant see it all on your pic - and I don;t have a better pic one at hand - but this is where I want to put it. Plenty of room and easy to adjust.Just cut out a section and replace with a shiny bit of SS pipe and have the fitting onto that.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God666 Complete Bastard Donating Members 1,123 Member For: 21y 1m Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/05/04 06:37 AM Share Posted 27/05/04 06:37 AM I assume that your BOV is not the Stealth FX. The reason I make that statement is that the large base of the Stealth FX is where the high pressure (from turbo) feeds in and this is the hose that comes from the front part of the engine. The waste or plumb-back is the hose at the rear of the engine and that is the fitting on the Stealth FX that sits on the body next to the trumpet. Have a look at the picture attached for details.From your photo, if it were a Stealth FX, you have fitted it incorrectly! Is there another BOV on the market that is adjustable?Now I am confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
