Venting standard BOV

[kaufman87]

A picture paints a thousand words...

Disconnected the recirc and blocked the uncharged side with good old mt franklin.
Problem is the car stalls sometimes. I presume it has something to do with the small hole in the stock bov sucking in air and leaning out the mix.

Any help appreciated.

Don't ask why I did it....and don't rip me for it either all you pigeon lovers

i'd remove that bottle top and stick a proper bung in it.. if theres a slight leak or it goes flying out then i predict boost problems. points for creativity though!

Jase theres no risk of it shooting out as its the non charged side ive got a champagne bottle cork blocking mine

 

[kaufman87]

LOL i was searching the house for a champagne cork! But does yours stall? Or do you have a different BOV? My exhaust smells different too. Pretty sure its the hole in the BOV making it lean out at idle.

 

[JameS15]

No mine doesnt stall. Ive completely removed the stock BOV and blocked up all 3 holes. Exhaust doesnt smell funny, uses more fuel if anything lol

a bung is 4 quid off ebay man, you can't afford that but you can afford to run an s15 - shame on you lol

Me. I don't get why people do this anyway! Just to attract even more attention when driving down the street!?

Struggling to pay the S15 off. 2yr loan.

Not for attention, just so i could hear whats going on. I connected it back together already, just wanted to see how and when the compressed air was released. Never had a turbo before.
Craig, have you never had an atmospheric bov?
