BOV & CRV Block off Caps? Where to find them?
Hey Guys!
Dumb question but I am really struggling to find a suitable part.
I am looking for reinforced silicone caps to block off the CRV and BOV ports on the Y Pipe. However after much searching I cannot seem to find anything suitable. I found rubber radiator block off caps but they are not reinforced to take boost pressure. My other idea was to run a silicone boost pipe joining the two together. Not pretty but would work.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am sure I am not the first person to want to block these ports off. IIRC they are approx 3/4"-7/8" diameter.
FYI, I want to avoid welding the ports shut as I will be selling the Y Pipe at some point in the future. Also for those who don't know I am running non sequential, hence my HKS BOV on my cold side pipe can replace both the CRV and BOV.
Thanks,Tom

Ebay seller kurumashop has what you need. Keep in mind you're not going to find the exact size. Getting one close in size will allow you to either slightly stretch it over or have a slightly loose fit that a clamp will close up no problem. With the silicone caps, you're not going to want to use the perforated worm clamps. It will cut them and they'll be worthless. You're going to want the smooth clamps. Ebay seller bestprice_dealsus has them.

The ones they have listed are very strong. I'm using them. Very thick walled. I was using a thinner one on my y pipe before I switched over to those and the thinner one held just fine. I'm also using the smaller ones to block off the water pipes I'm not using, like the one on the rear iron and the ones on the water pump housing. They will be more than sufficient to hold with your application.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

Checked out kurama shop as per cr-rex recommendation - look good but only available in blue!
Also found these: https://store.034motorsport.com/sili...-diameter.html but shipping is ridiculous ($40 USD for a $5 item to get it to Canada )
Any other suggestions appreciated!
