Blocking off return from stock BOV

[Cyric]

Hi guys,

Um, I'm in the process of putting on a new BOV which is atmospheric venting, so obviously the return pipe back into the exhaust system is no longer required... I have read quite a few posts in here and the highest level of detail i can find is 'block it off'.... which makes perfect sense to me but what exactly do i block it off with?

Somebody suggested a welsh plug but it just kinda sits there, and they arent exactly designed to be tightened by a hose clamp, so any other ideas?

Thanks

I found a rubber stopper in the garage that worked a treat. Have a hunt around in your garage/toolbox, you'll find something that fits.

lol, i havent got a toolbox, let alone a garage... trust me this is the most mechnically inclined thing i will be doing to the car by myself!

just block it off with sum thin metal or sumthin btween the gasket and the bov...thats how mine is blocked.

A coke bottle lid fits perfectly apparently

Doesnt need to be too much, remember its not under pressure, its will suck a little air though.

I have my blitz BOV and stock BOV both running at the moment, (got the car on thurs, and have left it that way) whats so good about blocking it off?

I think u will have idling problems if its not blocked off properly.

On an R33 a coke bottle top does do the job. You want the whole head of the coke bottle not just the lid, so chop it just at the top of the body and with the screw top tightened on the bottle push it into the hose and secure with a hose clamp..Done.

Go to Bunnings and look for those little rubber feet for furniture legs. Some of them have holes so be careful. You should be able to find one to fit. Looks neat when clamped.
