Turbosmart Vee-port Stealth Series Bov + Adaptor


Recommended Posts

For Sale: Turbosmart Vee-Port Stealth Series BOV + adaptor

The Stealth Series BOV's are the black coloured BOV's rather than the normal silver with blue tops.

It is pretty much brand new, has only been on my car for 2 months.

I'm selling it because I currently have 1 point left on my licence and I'm making my car 100% legal because I don't want to lose my licence from being defected. I'm in no real rush to sell though and I have the stocko one going back on at the moment.

Looking for $250 including the adaptor. Pick up, south/west brissie only. PM me on here or my number is 0412 695 225

any chance you want to sell just the adapter? or swap for a rb20 adapter? not sure why you would want to do this, but figured I might ask anyway :(

  • 1 month later...
  • 2 months later...

I forgot about this lol. Bump

Price drop to $150includes bov, adaptor, plumb back line blocker and all the other little bits and peices. It is still in like brand new condition.

Selling as I have a plumb back bov on there now and this is just sitting here looking pretty.

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
