Bov Install

[Sambo33gtst]

Hey guys,

Tried searching the DIY/FAQ forums but couldnt return any results.

So, once again im drawing on the wealth of knowledge that is SAU, and wanting to know how to install a BOV.

I have the HKS ssq bov with piping and flange....can anyone point me in the right direction step by step...or is there a thread one of u can find that i havent?

Thanks alot fellas

The pipe with flange replaces the stock one that goes to the inlet (see pic, I have a temp sensor in there now) you will have to disconnect the standard one by removing the vacuum hose and routing it to the new location and blanking the standard one off, I did that by cutting an ali can to shape and inserting in between the flange and standard BOV so the old BOV stays there.

Do you realise that an atmo BOV will effect your idle when you back off causing it to stall (sometimes) tis the reason I dont run mine anymore?

Hey Bayside,

I was told to come to you for some rustproofing in my wheel arches and strut towers. I was referred to you by Mick @ SVI

Cheers mate.

the 'sometimes' is what you have to take notice of. i know about 6 guys with atmo bovs on 33's, none of which have stalling issues. i had stalling issues with the stock bov. a new set of plugs fixed it. you just have to tighten up the spring tension so they don't leak.

You can overcome the stalling with a pfc and a aggressive tune... However the down side is you will use more fuel...

Thats for sure...

Corecct spring tension is the easy way.....just wind it up a little bit at a time till it doesnt do it anymore!

Cheers boys!

Just had the GReddy turbo timer fitted, feel alot better now not having to cold stop the engine.
