umm your car already has one std

i have an adapter and a after market BOV i wanna know how do connect it.. i thought i did it right but it did make any noise.. so can someone help me?

[Craved]

have you got pictures of it installed?

you replaced the std one with the aftermarket one and hooked up the air line from the plenum to the BOV?

was it a plumb back type or atmo? if atmo make sure you block the std BOV's return pipe

its a atmo.. i bolted on the adapter... then clamped on the bov to the adapter.. then i clamped on the thin pipe from the engine to the bov.. the other pipe i just block off with some tape as i was just checking to see if it worked and i didnt have anythin else to use.. should i remove that whole pipe and block it off where it starts? and if so should i use a grommet or what? is this all i have to do or am i doing something wrong?

i wil try and get a pic of what i did but i need to get a hold of a digi camera first as mine got lost.

doesnt matter where the pipe is blocked off, as long as it is air tight....

try lossening any adjustment on the BOV , do you know that it worked before you got it, it might be faulty

i bought it brand new... so it should work.. i wil try it again tomorow... whats a good thing to use to block of the hole? grommets? and does it matter if your car is auto or manual?

doesnt matter which transmission you use

block teh hole, well that depends on where you do it, if you block it at the end of the steel pipe, then pop down to clark rubber and use a rubber chair leg stopper that fits, then just hose clamp it on.

here is a pic of how i have set it up... still need to put clamps on and stuff but just to give u a idea.. does that look right... (I know the pipe isnt blocked off)

Have you tried it WITH the return pipe blocked off?

[Craved]

yeah looks correct, there looks to be a gasket under that adapter.. it has a hole in the middle right? just to state the obvious

if that has a twist top for adjustment, loosen it off as it might be too tight for the boost your running.

have you tried taking the bov off and pushing the plunger up to make sure it works?

also, not too familiar with rb20s but is the vacuum hose you have it connected to actually a vacuum hose? is it connected to the intake manifold?

gasket has a hole.. and im prity sure its all connected right.. i have tried it with the pipe blocked of.. but all i used was some tape as i has nothing else at the time.. the blue hose is just a silicon hose that i got from a kit.. i can twist the end of my BOV to hard or soft.. should it be on hard or soft for a r32 standard boost?

is this just the type of BOV is or is something wrong?

[dead32]

tighten the bov up abit. also make sure the factory return is blocked off nice, i know turbosmart sell plugs or you can make something fit

I found a lid in my intake pipe when I re-installed a standard bov on my car..

[HKS99]

hey bud it might be a plumback bov which dosnt have an atmospheric noise. my old turbosmart bov was a plumback and also had the hard or soft turning function
