Ok I just did a TII swap into my 86 rx7. I just learned that I don't think I have a BOV. Can I still use the car even though I don't have one? Can I also get some help on how to connect a BOV to the pipe leading up to the intercooler, I have seen it done I just don't know how to do it... This is my first time doing this so yeha I need help....

 

yes you can run it with out a BOV...do you have the stock turbo or is it upgraded??? i have a BOV that is fairly easy to install on your stock pipe Pm me....

 

well... you either have to have a bypass valve, or a blow off valve... you cant run the car w/ neither....

 

You can run without it, if you seal up all the vacuum leaks. Unfortunatly, without either, you run the risk of damaging your turbocharger if you boost it alot and let off the throttle hard.

 

Ok I see the thing is I just want to use the car for a bit. I don't get money till about 2 weeks and I'm curious if it will like damage my engine or anything. I'm not gonna race it or anything. just daily driving for now...

 

as long as you dont bring the rpms up really high and let off quickly (many times) then you should be ok.... as vipers said you have to at least have a stock bypass valve...if you dont have one then the car wont run...it will turn over and then if it even starts it will shut right off due to the boost leaks off the intercooler pipes...... the BOV i have might be a bit too hard too install.......but i can send you a pic and see what you can do with it

 

Do you still have the spot for the stock valve? If so I have a stock one if your interested, just pm me.
