Intake And BOVs

[naughtika]

David, that's weird.. I used an ebay flange.. but the circlip was included with the HKS unit..

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the circlip had a flat surface on one side and curved on the other.. i hope that the flat side was facing the flange..

just a thought...

no i didn't notice the difference. I think the flange is ok, i've just checked it and the bit where the clip goes in is perfect level so i'm guessing i failed at installation. Hopefully i can find a new clip and rubber ring as they are lost on the road somewhere

I talked to the jasracing guy from the evo oz forums and I ordered the evo metal BOV off him for $190 delivered. Great to deal with. His name is Allan and he told me he can supply most Mitsi parts cheaper than other traders. His number is 0413829168.

I think I spoke too soon. My SSVQ seems to have developed a problem. It doesn't seem to be opening fully and sort of sounds like its struggling to open. It was fine last night but it's not now. Anyone have any ideas?

idea 1: take off the outer covering (4 allen bolt)

idea 2: check vaccum line for clogs

Ive taken the outer covering off and the back covering, diaphragm looks good and the pistons move. I blew into the line that connects to the intake plenum from the BOV and it didn't seem clogged. I wouldn't think it would be a problem with the hoses as its been on there for a while now and only started to have problems today. So could there be a problem with the size or thickness of the vacuum hose i used?

Oddly its fixed its self but the guy offered to replace it so ill do that. Cheers for the help guys.

Hey Paul, how did you go with that recirc piece? can you still hear it and how does she feel now with it recirculating?

 

[unclepaulie]

cant hear it now unfortunaltly, similar to the stocko bov, but it drives and feels so differnt. pulls harder and smoother then before.

 

[Macca]

Hmmm, thats interesting, I think one of the pistons was sticking and it seemed to accelerate harder when only the smaller piston was opening. However I could just be on crack

a guy at my work has a verada 97, the cold air intake is double the size of legnum, yet it still seem to use the same air box thats in our cars, has anyone looked into this or fitted one to their car??

cheers gareth
