Greddy Type-s BOV JDM install on FD3S
I recently got a '93 R1 CYM that appears to have had just about every mod Pettit offers added to the car. I've tried to get some form of actual list from Pettit but they said the only way to get a list of records for the car is to have either the original invoice number or the name of the person who had the mods done. This would be 3 owners ago, so I'm not having much luck.
There is a Greddy elbow coming off the throttle body to the intercooler. While I've not been able to find a Greddy elbow that looks exactly like the one I have, it seems that one flange is just a large nipple that leads to a hose that connects to the BOV. They other is for an injector.
Mainly my question is concerning the BOV. Again, I've been unable to actually find any shops, even Greddy themselves that sell anything like the BOV on the car. I was finally able to track down (via Google Images) that it seems to be a JDM Greddy Type-s BOV.
Unlike all the other Greddy BOV's there are two tinny tubes coming off the back side. One is straight, the other at an angle. There is only one mysterious vacuum tube to connect to the BOV. In order to pass California smog I had to remove everything and I just recently re-installed all the aftermarket parts. My brother, who was helping me, and I can't recall which port on the BOV the tube was connected to. Each of thinks its a different one.
I was curious to see if anyone else has seen this mysterious Greddy BOV and if they might know about how its mounted on my car and which port the tube should connect too.
Below is an image that looks like my bov that I found on google images. Mine has an extra elbow flange that connects to the large tube that goes to the port on the elbow. I've attached a few images on my engine compartment.

you are using a greddy elbow that is supposed to be used for additional fuel injectors..and you hooked the BOV to one of the injector bungs as a source for the bov's vent.
They do make Greddy elbows that will hold the BOV right on the Elbow itself.I know,I had one,just sold it.
here was the thread, https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ght=greddy+bov
The top nipple for the Greddy RS would do to a good source of Vacuum,..say one of the nipples on the upper mani or TB.
Since you are dealing with another version(R or S??).I am not sure ..
try to just cap the bottom nipple but the top one go to Vacuum and see if that works,.then try uncapped(bottom nipple on BOV)
