hi just wondering if anyone succefully bolted a BOV on their 12a yet?

fatboy7

I doubt it would be a bolt-on ordeal, cause if a 12a needs a BOV, it's far from being stock

Items needed:
BOV w/universal flange
Grinder of sorts
Welder

How-To:
Find a good place to put it: AFAIK the closer to the throttle plates, the better.

Use grinder to cut hole in piping matching the hole for the BOV flange.

Weld it on there.

damn ..

so its not just "bolt on"

timmya2

is there any easy mods i can put on my 12a .. just by bolting it on somehow?

is there such thing as a bolt on turbo?

sorry im a newbie

fatboy7

Yea, try going exhaust. Headers supposedly are a good first mod, definatly freeing up some power, and making the car sound much louder/more aggressive.

timmya2

wats a header?

(sorry n00b)

Do you even know what BOV does?

timmya2

bov.. more air comes out.. more sound?


pls enlighten me

hmm a BOV is used wiht a turbo, it releases excess air to prevent backspinning the turbo, yes it does make a nice sound too. i think you can get fake BOV's that just make the sound, go ask your local ricers they shoudl be able to help ya out there :] and as for a header its hmmm a fancy exhaust manifold? lol

The fake turbo kit is around $130 and a BOV can be installed just to be there for the bling bling factor...all very ricey, indeed....don't waste your money, timmah...

im kinda stoned, is this guy actually asking these questions or is it just me.


get a exhaust and a air filter, get respect.

go the fake turbo route and, well, you see what happens.

you could turbo your car for real for about $1000. It would be really half assed and not intercooled, but it would work.

If you can figure out how to put a bov on you car and get it to make a sound i'll be impressed...lol

Replace the ACV or bypass it and hook the hoses into the BOV to dump the air pump's output when you start getting past 3000 rpm....

I can't believe I'm going to post this so all the bling-blingers can now run out and get their BOVs on their N/A 12A's....sheesh...

meddle

Is this for real? Usually aussie's are on the fore front setting examples for the yanks, especially on 12a's. This clown is a joke.

Rotor13B

And then what, strap it to your intake with a coathanger? not to mention a constant pssshhh, lmao

I was also researching putting a Flux Capacitor in.... what would be involved in this?
