Venting The Stock Bov

[Maximus]

I think with all of the stock screw type ones fitted to the intake pipes you can use a socket on them as well to get them tighter.

yea, only problem is getting the socket/screwdriver to fit, I have to loosen it again and twist it round until it suits.

I just done this mod on my FG, and works a treat so far. Had to do a little improvisation for connecting the filter to the bov (cut the bottom out of one of the rubber chair stoppers and used the rubber ring made to bridge the gap between the filter and the bov, then clamped it, please note the clamp is not on in the picture) but pretty sure I got it right. If I have done anything wrong, happy to hear suggestions.

Images here for others with FG's. Hope it helps.

So I did this on my BF XR6 turbo auto. All I get is a soft 'Pppsshhh. None of this 'Ppssshhtuttututtu' sound.

Did I do it right?

1. I just blocked off the short wide hose at the back of the crossover with a 25mm stopper. That's the only hose I blocked off.

2. The long wide hose that comes from the front of the crossover, and then underneath to reconnect with the BOV, I did just that, reconnect with the BOV.

3. I put a small breather/pod filter on the large opening of the BOV that was usually connected to the short and wide hose, so basically I moved the BOV back to front.

4. I reconnected the short and thin hose to the little nipple on the BOV and connected that back to the original gold looking pipe where it was from stock (This is the vacuum hose right?).

So, did I do the right thing? It just doesn't sound that loud? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There back...

Did you do exactly what the pictures and instructions said?

But seriously mate it shouldn't be that loud on stock boost, on B series anyway and there won't be much if any flutter.

hehe I'm just trying something different. I followed it all the way. Although I must say, it was fairly bland when it came to specific details. I guess once I pulled the crossover off, saw everything, I started putting the pieces together. But it is fairly quite, and it only gives off a short sneeze. I actually don't mind it, as I can control when it comes on or off (as my car being auto). I just thought it would have been a lot louder?

[Dillz]

Nah not really, you can try replacing the breather with another stopper with a little hole drilled in it, goes a bit louder. But if you want it real loud you'll want an aftermarket BOV and a bucket load more boost.

Just did this mod, pretty happy with it, better for the engine than blocking it off completely!!

[mar705]

just did this mod to my car but mixed it up a bit I used some pluming fittings

3/4 inch m.I brass plug ( use to plud off the larger hose)

1/2 inch nipple (thread tap 1 end with allot of thread tape push this into the outlet of the bov)

1/2 inch f/I cap ( drill a 3 mm hole in this and screw onto the 1/2 inch nipple then get some black electrical tap and tap around the brass fittings just to hide the fact that you bov is atmospheric venting)

makes a nice tututututu sound

Just did this mod... again... Soooo much easier then on the B series.

Pretty loud for a stock car but still probably go a Turbosmart Kompact at a later date.
