JamesArup Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hey all, I'm still having trouble with the Supra not boosting properly, and the BOV is still totally silent . I decided to take the BOV out and inspect it a bit closer. It's mounted on the hardpipe next to battery, so I took the whole pipe out. The attached pics are what I found inside the pipes ... that's bad, right :blink: I also totally dismantled the BOV, and I couldn't find anything wrong with it really, so I don't think that's my problem. How strong should the vacuum be on the small pipe that goes into the back of the BOV (HKS SSQV)? I disconnected it, and put my finger on the end of the pipe.... there really doesn't seem to be much force in the vacuum at all, I wouldn't expect it to be able to pull the BOV open! Everything worked fine before my car went off the road for 8 months. I got it back, the BOV worked for about 2 days and then just went silent. That was about 6 weeks ago now, and I still haven't figured it out ... it's getting irritating now! :rolleyes: Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 How many times did you start it during the time it was off road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 The guys in the bodyshop fired it up and made sure it was running at least once a month .... I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Im not sure and will prob be set right but, im guessing if there is that much rust inside the hardpipe then the internal componets of the BOV will be the same. Can you dismantle the BOV and clean the rust off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 I did dismantle the BOV. It was fine in there. There was a slight 'deposit' of some white corrosion, but nothing bad at all. I I'm fairly sure the BOV is ok ... unless anyone in the area has one I can just test to be sure Cheers, O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Dunno then chap, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 D'oh ... nevermind. But, despite the BOV not working, I assume the rust is also a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
