Alright. What side do i disconnect. The side going to the Y pipe or the side going to the intake. If im not mistaken it's the one going to the intake. But I thought there were 2 bov's stock. I could be wrong.

 

If you are running sequentially then you have one blow off valve. And yes you do disconect it from the intake side. Make sure to block off that hole where the blow off valve hooked up to. If you are running non-sequential then you have two blow off valves (the other one becomes a blow off valve as well). If you vent both of them to atmosphere they will be pretty loud.

 

If you don't want a whooshing sound between 0 and 4500rpm, then skip step #2.

 

okay thanks, I might just keep the stock ones attached untill i do some other mods. What do i use to block the holes with, if i do want to do that?

 

you can find rubber bumpers or vaccuum caps at almost any hardware or auto store. You can still vent both the CRV and the BOV if you are sequential.

Where can I find step-by-step instructions for venting BOV to atmosphere? (or tips on what to use for a search)
Thanks

These are great, keep them comming

 

Ummm.... Jonski's post, maybe?

 

I don't have it labeled, but if you look closely at the air box, I have a nipple plugged with a 20oz plastic coca-cola bottle cap. it's not air-tight, but it works well enough.

 

What worked well for me to cap the airbox hole was to keep the piece of rubber that is normally between the bov and the airbox on there, put a 20 oz cap over the end of the rubber where the bov connected, then use the clamp that was being used to hold the hose on the bov to help clamp down the cap. It's a tight fit, no leaks and it's stayed on so far (2 months or so).

 

If any of you play paintball, and have a Tank for there gun, the flexible plastic cover for the threads fit's perfectly and is air tight. At least thats what my friend said that did it. Just thought you might like to know. I may or may not try it, not sure yet.

 

Will any harm come to the engine or any part of the engine bay if this air box hole isn't blocked off?

I would rather be safe then sorry.

 

If you leave those nipples unplugged, then you will be sucking in HOT, unfiltered engine compartment air. If you have an exhaust leak, then you will also be sucking in exhaust. With turbos, you want your air to be as cool and clean as possible. Hot intake air can even cause pinging and detonation while boosting.

 

i used the coke cap also heh works like a charm

Sounds good to me. However the only valve that I have venting into the atmosphere is the stock BOV while the stock CRV is still connected into the air box, therefore I'll have only one hole to worry about. I will get to that ASAP.

So the best choice of plug comes from Coke bottles? What about the big black rubber stoppers that you can get from them hardware stores?

A wine cork works perfect. Nice and snug...

 

Not to change the subject, But does anyone have an Apexi Twin Chamber BOV? and what does it sound like??? Does it whistle like the HKS SSQV? forgive my intrusion, I am only a newbie.

 

Hey how big of a cork or plug would I need to accomadate the hole?

THanks.

-Dan.

 

I guess if you use a 20oz coke cap and match it up to a cork that would probally tell you.

 

A rubber stopper would probably work better. The Coke cap works well enough. I drink Coke while working on the car, because the caffiene helps me think. While sitting on the bench pondering about how to plug the air box nipple, I had a 20oz Coke in one hand. Guess what was in the other hand. I did it, because I wanted to fix the problem right then and there, so I improvised. I like it, because it's ghetto.

 

I posted this in another similar post...
Heh.. noone searches anything LOL
Anyway, I bought black rubber table feet from Home Depot. They fit perfectly and tightly, and they look like they were meant to be there and do not catch the eye easily. I forget the correct diameter, just take the BOV hose to the store and find a rubber foot that matches it as closely as possible on the inside diameter and you're golden.

Will do.........

 

So, would you guys recommend this or not?
