Well I went to a friends house that has a lot of tools and he likes to work on cars [he currently owns a 13sec 10th Anniversary RX-7 Turbo]. He cut the stock bov flange from the dsm pipe and welded onto my turbo-to-intercooler pipe and cut a hole in it. He had to weld it 3-4 times because he didn't have a tig welder, but he got it to work with no leaks. It looks ghetto fabbed, but works, and function over form. A little coat of black rust resistant paint and it'll be peachy. He T-ed into the MAP sensor line to make sure it works. He didn't cut the line, but added a T and an extra peice of vacuum hose with clamps. As Soon as I can get the rear bolt off of the manifold and hook up my boost gauge, I'll T into that instead.
To the good part. When I first floored it to 50mph or so and let off, it made a nice flutter sound. I took it on the freeway tonight and floored it from the entrance ramp upto 70mph. It felt like it had better power between shifts since the air pressure didn't hit the turbo anymore. Just a bit louder then my turbo flutter. It works great, no complaints. It'll work good with my chip. But when I get my FMI finally installed, I'll save up for a better aftermarket BOV. Maybe one of those cool Blitz ones.
awesome...i'm using a used 300ZX turbo BOV....just give a sound of rushing air when you let off the throttle, its pretty quiet though from what i heard...
i got a 1st gen dsm and its very loud. The only way they are quiet is if you have a vaccume hose on the end of upper assembly venting the compressed air back in the intake. If you just leave it open then it will shhhhhhhh very loud. Enough to let them know DON'T DO IT! :D
Where do you guys get yours? None of the JY around here have one, and on ebay they go for 50+ w/ shipping, can anybody find me one cheaper? Thanks,
I may be picking up a parts car, if I do I'll sell it to you. I am going to look at it tonight to see if it is even worth the cash.
i got mine of a 90 laser. You can get them off any 1st gen (only) talon, eclipse laser 90-94. THE ARE SMALL ENOUGH TO SLIP INTO A NICE SIZE POCKET :wink: !
I got mine from a local junkyard for $20.
Well i'm will one on ebay right now at 30$ but i will probaly lose, 90TGP, do you think you could get one for me at that JY? I'll let you guys know if i still need one or not, Thanks,
I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow to learn how to take my car apart [junkyards are great for learning how to do something on your car before you actually do it ;)]. I'll look to see if that one DSM with the BOV [1stgen] is still left [it should be].
thanks, i would have taken one, but i bid on one friday, and i actually one it, it was 30.00, a lot lower than usual, but thanks,
90TGP if you can get it for 20 or less, i think i'll just take that one. If i don't liek it i can always say i tried.
I won't be going to the junkyard for a while now :? It's been raining non-stop for the past couple of days and is still going to rain for a couple more days.
gotcha, let me know what happens
