Recommended Posts

Guest | hype^ |

check this out guys!!

when i bought the car i thought it had a stock BOV on .. but today i saw a piece of metal with "blitz" on it.. under the air box

im like cool iv got sumthin thats blitz...

i take a closer look and its a F**kn bov!!!

some idiot but a blitz bov on the car under the airbox and left the stock 1 there!!

and coz the stock 1 is ferther back the blitz 1 doesnt even get to go off!! it aint loud at all..

u cant hear the bov properly when u just rev it on the spot! only a lil on changes!!

what the hell do i do??

i was thinking of swaping the blitz and stock bovs around so the blitz 1 is the 1 used first for better sound..

or maybe replace the stock 1 with the blitz and some how block the hole where the blitz 1 was off (iv got nfi how to block it!)

what do uz recon??? :P

mine is right next to my intercooler, and if anyone on these boards has heard it, they will agree with me when i say it is BLOODY loud!!!!

My stock one just blocks up that piping..

dam prank! nice position! - my blitz is right under the airbox :P iv got no idea why they put it there.. but it should sound better after i remove the airbox and get a filter ;)

prank.. the problem with mine was that the stock was not blocked off..

so the air was filtering through the stock 1 and didnt have a chance to get to the blitz.

i fixed it today..;)

i but a piece of metal between the piping and the stock valve..

now he air goes straight to the blitz bov!

sounds nice!!!

but i need more boost and a POD filter and exhaust ;) to make it sound louder:uh-huh: :D;)

yeah. its VERY loud there... if i hit boost hard through any tunnels (spesh the harbour tunnel) it is seriously deafening. My whole front bar shakes when it goes off.

Yeah, i luuuurve my DTMS!! :P:D (thanks too).

JiMb0 experienced my bov at low boost last w/end. ;)

YEH PRANK!!

was i impressed or what!!!

did i hear u right in saying that it was only 2pound!??

that thing was loud as hell!!

:uh-huh:

i like the way u pulled right up next to my window with the wheel.. :lol:

and i got laughted at by prank's gf when i showed him mine,!

i cant believe its the same valve!!!:eek:

that was Bec 2. :) I have 2 becs, my gf and my other bec (a good friend) - that was my friend Bec, not my gf.... it gets confusing.

yeah, when i lifted off it had only hit 2psi. :) or thereabouts.

GTR80Y, i need to angle the valve upward!! ;)

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
