you use the stock location, theres only one BOV

You can either use the stock location or you can eliminate the stock "bov" and get a pipe to put it closer to the intake.

thats odd... i have two "bov's" or dump valves running out.... im actually going to get a picture right now, maybe one isnt a bov..

im using the greddy elbow with flange, im not using the stock location

now my question on eliminating the stock bov, all you do is get a plug right? plug up the holes?

The one closest to the airbox is the bov. The other one, IIRC is the charge relief.

so leave the charge relief on, and eliminate the BOV... with a plug?
and i dont have an airbox... thats the one closest to the front right?

You leave on the CRV on and if you bought the kit for your car you just take off the factory BOV and use the same location for you new one using the hardware from the kit, using a flange you can weld it on the IC pipe as well... (aftermarket IC)

i know that... but i was just making sure blocking off the stock location is ok since im using the greddy elbow and type s bov

Have you gone non-sequential? If so you should eliminate the butterfly in the "Y" pipe and block off both (the crv and the bov) since you have the elbow with the flange. I notice your air pump is gone so I assume you're no longer concerned with emissions so you might as well do the non-seq mod too...or at least the "poor-man's" while you're down there pluggin stuff up.

can u make stock twins non sequential?

MR_Rick

iTrader: (7)

yes you can make them non-seq but just leave that stuff alone if you don't have any problem with the turbo system.

rxguru

Oh hell yeah you can! There's a thread in the FAQ's on how to do it....one simple way and the other that requires a little more skill (removal of the twins and cutting out a flapper and porting a wastegate hole)

you could also leave the stock bov and run both.. it wont hurt anything

you know i was thinking of that a minute ago, im glad that u said that

and my stock twins only have 12k on them, i think im going to leave them alone

rxguru

man you guys are no fun.....the poor chap just wants to know how to put his damn BOV on and what to eliminate in its place. If you're gonna stay sequential keep the CRV and ditch the OEM BOV but make sure you plug that hole real good. OR just keep em both and have basically three BOV's why the hell not.

yea why the hell not... why not put six on there... lol, joking.

thanks a lot guys, i thought i mighta got flamed on this one.. LUCKY ME
im not sure what im going to do for sure, i might just block off the stock one... i just love the sound of the Type s with that high pitch whine. im not sure how it will sound with my car though, im only running on 8psi right now, i do a lot of city driving, i live on the other side of phoenix, and i dont see a reason to run for 15 minutes at 10psi and then shut it down
