help install BOV
 

My friend got an 93 rx7 twin turbo and he ordered BOV for it and he wanna put it on him self but he doesnt know where is the stock BOV at on the engine and he doesnt know how to put it on if some can help me send me some picture and instruction of how to install it that will really help guys

Thx alot

use punctuation.

And YOU can put that BOV on easily if it is a kit. However, I'd suggest you take the car back and get a refund.

i'm not sure about this... but don't most of the aftermarket BOVs need to be mounted to a flange on the IC piping which needs to be welded on? being the case, wouldn't the old ones need blocked off? it sounds like your "friend" doesn't have a damn clue what he's doing and is about to ruin a perfectly good FD. punctuation would help quite a bit. i'm gonna make a prediction here, your friends car will die and the engine will pop in under 8 months.

there are TWO stock BOVs... have fun playing where's waldo. give ya a hint, they are directly between the turbos and the intake box

p.s. is it REALLY that hard to type out the entire word "thanks?"

his "friend" with the "rx7" and he has "rx7" "username"

Rx713B,

The BOV will most likely come with instructions on what needs to be done (unless it was purchased used).

Make sure you have the Factory Service Manual regardless if the BOV came with instructions or not. If you don't have one yet, you can download it from this site:

Once your friend actually has received the BOV, post back if you need help on the install.

ahh as much as i want him to learn his lesson, i cant imagine another fd going down..

listen partner, pop the hood of the fd yo, walk over to the passenger side by the front tire.. you see all those black hoses, both big and small? well bend over, move your eyes back and forth while paying close attention.. you will see 2 little brown looking things, one towards the firewall and one close to the air box, those are your stock bov's..

you might have to use your hands to play where's waldo lol

you're a better man than I ulost2my7

Actually There is only ONE BOV. Soo before you jump online and start ripping the kid a new one ...YOU should learn a little bit more about the cars. They have 1 BOV, and 1 CRV( Charge relief Valve) NOT the same thing as a BOV, UNLESS, you are running in NON- Sequential mode.

How about offering the guy some help like Mahjik did. Is it really that hard?

Rx713B... If you have any quetions you can PM me or ask online at your own risk;) .

Welcome to the Club. What type of BOV did your pal order??

bigislandsevens

i understand all of that but look at the original poster, then look at his question, do you really think he will understand what the hell you mean by one bov and one crv? LOL i dont think so.. he's new so lets just leave it as 2 bov's :p:

Just because he's new doesn't mean you don't provide the proper and correct advice. He might not be the only one looking at this thread for help.

Since nobody knows exactly what kit/bov he bought, I would recommend waiting until he posts back before giving any specific instructions on what needs to be done.

thats true mahjik, i should've corrected him the first time

kinda like how when you interact with little kids and they have a funny way of talking and you talk back to them just the same way hahahaha

..instead of talking normal to let them know the difference

sorry bout that :D

Why not explainwhat is actually happening under the hood? Why send him off with false information and not understand what is what...

Maybe the fact that we tell him there are 2 valves that look identical but operate differently, would let him and his friend know that they need to do a little more research before they start throwing things on.

It is just common curtosy to help someone out instead of point out that they don't know where the BOV is. As you said he is new, so why not help inform him so they don't kill the engine and walk away from these cars with a bad taste in their mouth.I guess i am just tired of seeing all the "your a dumbass" type responses.

We could all learn a thing about help from Mahjik. He answers SOOOO many stupid questions with a link to a thread and some helpfull tid-bits of info. If we would all try that( myself included) this forum would be alot more productive...for everyone.

Speech over!!:D

:( :D

BigIslandSevens, you're right... that was completely my bad about the BOV and CRV. but as it was said before, from the sounds of it he won't know the difference anyways. RX713B, sorry, but the way it was worded it really just sounds like you're ricing your car out and that aggrevates me quite a bit. i won't be doing this anymore... cause i know that i need a lot of help too. too many jackasses on here and i just became one of them.

We don't want to be like a First Grade Teacher that doesn't know his ABCs. It kinda gets the student off to a bad start.

its not that i don't know it, i was just being a dick, like i said, my bad

its all right coo bro, i didnt mean to make it sound like that at all dude i just want to get some help thats why i got on this forums and my bad once again guys

its HKS ssq

Return it and get a HKS SSQ Kit for the RX-7... without it, you're going to spend similar amount of money on:
1) Aluminium Piping, since all the stock parts are plastic or rubber.
2) Aluminium Flange, since you can't weld steel flanges to Aluminium.
3) Welding, cutting, and mounting this sucker.

When you buy a Kit, the old one comes off, and the new one goes in it's place... that simple...

Found one of my old pictures... it's the brown thing below the makita drill attached to the hoses...
But to the right of the yellow extension cord for the shop light... Has a Red-Ish label on it with some writing, most likely mazda manufactureing junk...

thanks man

I got a question, IF I have the SSQV kit and i weld it on to my IC piping, what becomes of the old BOV? Just pull it off and plug it up? And the recirc pip that goes from the bov to the nipple on the y-pipe? Thanks
