how would i go about fitting that bov to my version 2 wrx?

just cant seem to figure it out.

have pic of my setup attached

[syneptik]

sorry about the pic ( first time ive uploaded )

[lachlan]

would have to be quite an ugly setup as the factory blow off valve is an inline type .

i assume you want it hooked up so you can run resirc and atmosphere or some combination of both ?

unless you put a 45 degree bend on both ends of bov so you are back to in and out being "inline" . might not be enough length between the ic and the intake pipe tho

you could use flexible hose and "remote mount " it to an extent

[syneptik]

yeah was going to get a kompact dual port bov

thats what i thought aye, but the people selling it said i could use the piece of flexible hose already on my car,

just dont think it would look very good.

and the kompact dual port bov doesnt sound that great eiher, but they dont sell any inline dual port valves that i know of

cheers for your help

Seriously dont worry about the "dual port" aspect of it

So long as you get one which seals fine at idle and doesnt leak under boost you\'ll be right

Someones bound to pipe up about "ohh it\'ll go rich after shifts" or whatever but realistically people put on 100% atmo valves on everything and have done for years, with no genuine ill effects unless the valve itself is defective or the car is ultra sensitive to that sort of thing (which an early WRX is not)

Someone else is then bound to say "if you do a snorkelectomy and whatever you\'ll just hear the factory valve" - yes you will but its not quite the same, much like how zooey dechanel looks just like katy perry but due to missing one (well.. two) vital components, is a sad substitute

edit: sauce as follows

Unless youre having issues with the stock valve I wouldnt bother replacing it. Money better spent elsewhere.

Marky youre way ahead in the funny department keep it up.

Coz it goes pssssshhhhh ans pssshhhh puts a smile on peoples faces .

I have noticed on early 90 s cars the ecu doesnt really care about blow off valves . Gc8 r32 etc

Later stuff because it has finer control you may notice . R34 v7. Etc .

It\'ll be mint as long as it closes fully

I get that Ive been there just now with more smarts Im not bothered with the noise. The real bad asses have a chinese copy supersonic twin trumpet with a 38mm lingchong gate screamed.

i can\'t see your picture but if its the same top mount setup as a GTB/RSB, it\'s piss easy. I went to a wreckers and got a piece of hose from IC to stock BOV and a 20mm hose joiner and a couple of hose clamps, stock hose i didn\'t cut i think i just twisted it around a little to accommodate. chopped a piece off the hose i got from wreckers to suit the recirc part and used the hose joiner in the hole where the stock valve goes

here is a pic of how mine is setup, it should give you a rough idea, i am using a GFB Hybrid 50/50 never had any sign of backfiring or anything using it for almost 2 years now and same type of valve as the one you are looking at

[lachlan]

Nah its way different . The early single turb bov is on the drivers side of the TB between the Turbo outlet pipe and the Turbo inlet pipe

[Guest]

My stock V5 had a gfb 50/50 early type non adjustable and worked perfectly with tmic. No surge/funny idle events.

bit... i\'d take zooey home before katy....
