flukey-lukey Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 A few months ago I remember reading a thread about the stock BOV mod. I think it had some pictures and a step by step guide of how to mod your stock BOV so it vents to atmosphere. I've searched and searched but can't find it I'd like to read it again so, first one to find it gets a christmas card in 4 months time GO GO GO!!

VIL Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I am interested in reading this also if it can be found...I did a search a while ago and could not find anything that details the mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Doesn't sound difficult - just disconnect the outlet pipe (the thicker one near the back of the engine) and put a cap over the feed-nipple back into the intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1933 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Any reason why you want to do this, apart from to get the wooshing noise? I did this on my mates GT4 Celica and it sounded w@nk to be honest... its like someone opening a bottle of coke but the noise lasting several seconds, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this on my mates GT4 Celica and it sounded w@nk to be honest... its like someone opening a bottle of coke but the noise lasting several seconds, LOL No reason in particular...just wanted to try it to see (or rather hear) the difference So do you know where the thread is? I still can't find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Luke, it's really very simple. I know you want engine bay pics but I think you should be able to figure it from this. Your stock BOV has three connections to it - the small vacuum reference hose which controls the valve, the pressure side towards the front of the car, and the exhaust side pointing to the rear. So to vent to atmosphere, you simply need to disconnect the exhaust side, this one: Now, once you've pointed it outwards, it's important to block off where this pipe used to be connected. This is most commonly done with a simple makeshift bung that you can get from a hardware store - chair leg rubber ends and a hose clamp. HTH, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
