Hey guys,

Just bought a turbo msart bov with adaptor for 71 bucks (ebay). Now the previous owner had it on his rb20. The bov has only 2 inputs for the small vacuum tube n from incooler (adaptor) pipe.. how do close off the other pipping? Is it good to do that or what?

Many Thanks,

Alan.

you must be talking about the plumb back line that goes to your turbo intake pipe?

Yes you will want to block it off..

I have read some people using coke bottle lids, peices of dahl (round wood peices), a giant bolt, blocking plugs from auto shops etc etc..

search "coke lid" for some topics that will cover anything you need.

cheers

wow a door stop, haha, thats a new one.. Watch it doesn't melt as where it is gets quite hot.

Undo the 2 bolts, unplug vac hose and take off your current bov,

slap on your new bov, tighten bolts and attach vac hose, adjust until it is venting properly.

If you aren't using a safc/aftermarket ecu then you may encounter stalling problems and poor fuel economy.

Search forums for atmo bovs and stalling for more info.

cheers

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
