ApexI BLow Off Valve Install??

valman1970 · 01-04-2007, 03:17 AM

I have an ApexI Dual Chamber Blow Off Valve and I need the installation instructions! Can anyone out there help me??

instructions? do you have the bov put on yet? or do you not have a place to mount it?

valman1970 · 01-04-2007, 02:15 PM

I have the bov, but have not yet fitted it. I can make adapters or weld on a mount, that is easy. It's the plumbing of the fittings that eludes me!!

is your car turbo?

plumbing of the fittings? theres one nipple and it should go to your intake manifold for pressure / vacuum.

it's pretty straight forward... is your car already turbo?

SOB · 01-06-2007, 03:09 PM

I dont think it is by the sound of it lol

I am in the process of turboing a non turbo car, for the fun of it. The BOV has 3 fittings. 1 on the pressure side of the valve, one just on the other side, and one on the top end next to the adjusting screw. I think one might be for a guage, but the purpose of the other two elude me.

One is a vacuum source to pull the valve open when you let off the gas. Another is a pressure source to keep the BOV closed as tight as possible while you are still on the gas to keep it from leaking.

The one you have might have two pressure nipples, or two vacuum nipples.

Got a pic of it?

I think I uploaded a pic of it?? I am not sure

Ah, two of those nipples are probably to hold each diaphram down since its a dual chamber (one nipple per chamber). the other is a pressure nipple.
