BOV on stock eclipse

gst96clipse · 01-20-2008, 03:38 PM

So I want to put a greddy type rs bov into stock 96 eclipse gst... After words im planning on putting in an injen intake that requires an aftermarket bov... anyways, does anyone have any tips or instructions on installing the bov?

its a straight forward install, however keep in mind if you are to upgrade your intake pipe to the injen piece that requires an aftermarket BOV, there is no location for the BOV return.

It's a bad idea but if you don't want to fab up a spot for the return you could vent it right into the air

is there a better place to put it? if not, how could i easliy fabricate it for return

dont fab just buy a return intake and cap it later if you want to vent to atmosphere

Alright so I figured most of it out... question, if I return the air into the intake, how does it affect the sound of the bov?

If you vent the Greddy RS BOV back into the intake it will dampen most of the sound.

Alright thanks... I think im all set... ill post pictures after the install and let you guys know how it turned out

Alright so I put in the blow off valve today... Sounds good, just need to do some adjusting with the screw... anyway, I changed a hose that goes to the bov and i heard the turbo sputtering... i popped the hood and the hose clapsed... I think it might be because i put on a hose that was too big, or it might be the fact that the heat caused the hose to clapse... Anyways, i put on a smaller hose and put the insulation on the hose... it completely defeated the purpose of changing the hose... anyways, since the hose is smaller (the right size now) do i still need the insulation or what? any ideas?
