Hello,

I am looking at buying myself the Greddy Elbow and was wondering if anyone could tell me why you have the option of using a BOV mounted on the side?

I have a HKS SSQV BOV on the turbo side, would it be of benefit to have a BOV on the intercooler side as well, or is it only for high spec RX7's with front mounted Intercoolers.

Lastly would I use a T Piece to connect both the vacum tubes from both BOV's to the Manifold?

Thanks

Andrew

 

There is no need to run two BOV's. That is there in case someone wanted to run their BOV after the IC instead of before it. That's all.

 

Some people believe that the BOV should be mounted closer to the throttle body. There are debates here on the forum about this subject. No real concrete evidence as to location vs performance though....

While you *could* use two BOV's, it's not really needed unless you are pushing some serious boost. BTW, I believe the flange that comes on the GReddy Elbow is for a GRedddy BOV only.

 

If the flange is for a Greddy Type R, then there really is no need to run 2. The type R is HUGE when compared to other BOVs.

 

I was going to get the greddy elbow w/bov myself a while back, but I noticed that it would make changing the oil filter extremely difficult. Even if I were to manage to reomve the filter, it would prob spill a lot down the pedestal

 

buy greddy's filter relocation kit, problem solved

also gives you pressure/temp taps

 

Well said!! Where do most people put the filter once they buy the relocation kit?? I've been wondering about that. Thanx in advance.

Yeah, but that's more stuff you gotta buy
