tial BOV mounted in trottle body plenum pics

well we were stuck with an aluminum BOV flange so i had to find a place to make it work, well since the intercooler piping is steel there was slim pickins on mounting choices.. so, this is what i came up with, what do you think? looks cool

AWESOME!

I've seen it on "carb hats" before, but never on the stock TB, on any case we need to see the rest of the pics, please

Interesting, but why have you grounded the UIM? No components use it as a ground path...

wouldn't that just be a chassis-engine ground? where would be a better spot? firewall to tranny/iron? ill effects?

if ill things ground from batt. to chassis........and the motor is bolted to the chassis.

i read that deal on aaron cakes page (good as always) but ill have to look through some of my electrical books cuz im confused hehe

Sure, but why not put it on the engine instead, so the wire could be shorter and less visable. There's no electrical advantage to grounding the manifold.

Looks like the ideal spot for a blow off valve and not so much a lack of choice for placement.
I don't think it would affect anything being so close to the TB butterlies

Two thumbs up

!NICE!

Now do it with a Turbo XS BOV and have it sticking through hood

it'd better for BOV response wouldn't it? thats right where the spike in pressure comes from telling mr bov to let the pressure out. hahah

your sig is hilarious.

its the "i just want bang bang bang" remixxx

The vacuum line is what gives the bov its response, having it close to the intake manifold may look nice but has no better affect. My logic would be to put it on the turbo side so the dumped air would pre cooled hot air anyway.

^and you have no clue about air charges and pressure waves.

what is this rambling garbage?

read up on your fluids and thermodynamics son

Nice, looks good!

But...

You thermodynamics and physics major dudes are annoying and always saying that ****, "read up on thermodynamics and fluid dynamics". How the hell are we supposed to read all that crap. I can barely understand half of the lingo and associated formulas with that stuff. Why dont you tell him why since your so smart? The vacuum line does give the Blow off valve its source of pressure differences which allows it to open.
Where its located really doesn't matter, as long as it functions correctly. I'd like to see your calculations, explanations, and diagrams if you beg to differ.

Sorry, but If your going to correct someone, please give them a reason, explanation, or diagram or your just talking(typing) out your ***...

I guess you can't get any closer to the throttle plates than that, lol.

It makes me wonder:
1. Would it work better due to the deflection angle of the reversion off the closed throttle plate?
2. Would it work worse due to being TOO close to the throttle plate and the bulk of the reversion wave initially bypasses the BOV?
3. Does it even make a difference at all?

Hmm, interesting.

Ideally, the BOV should be as close to the butterflies as possible as to not interrupt flow. Looks like you pretty much got it. Haha.
