[Mk2] [Turbo] what can be used to block up recirc pipe?

[jimGTS]

either a plug to go in intake pipe?
or a cover for the pipe near the bov??

where to get?

[2Crooky]

The plug for the intake pipe is usually always suplied with an aftermarket dump valve......Have heard of people using a wine cork lol or the sawn off end of a broom handle

Any company who sells BOV's for the MR2 should stock extra accessories too.....Failing that i'm sure someone will give ya one off here

yeah I used a home wine makers kit rubber bung off ebay LOL. Worked a treat

[Hellboy]

i use a humbrol paint pot that you can get in games workshop - fits perfect

Found these on flebay but i just used a peice of broom handle

Use a broom handle Jim! You know it makes sense. Just make sure it cant get sucked into your turbo!!

I used a couple of rubber wine making bungs from a wine shop, if they're too big they can just be trimmed down with a stanley knife.

i used a film holder for a camera done the job and was black so kinda blends in

[jimGTS]

wow, some strange but amusing answers, lol....


thats the thing, you dont want anything to be sucked in!

[Rory]

What's your plan jim? You got a new bov or are you dumping the stock one? The stock one is seriously loud when dumped to atmosphere! I had mine dumping for a bit but it got on my nerves after a few weeks so I cahnged it back. Still keep a bit of broom handle in my car incase I fancy a change though.

just wona try out a nice bov....
guess ive turned chav or something

but my current setup is loud as anything anyway...ryan at 2bar tuning compared my recirc sound (stock bov) as loud as a blitz bov anyway, lol...plus id like to rule out whether my stock bov is leak/damaged...
just an excuse to get more mods, starting to run out of things to do

Jim,

I'm actually searching for that plastic pipe and the rubber bit that links the re-circ valve back to the intake.

My Rev2 intake pipe has a dv blanking part in it.

If I presume you're still running the Rev2 intake pipe, then we might be able to do a swap or something....

[jimGTS]

ideal dude, however i cant be sure im gona like having an atmos bov, lol, so im likely to keep hold really, incase i want to go back to stock, or turn the new bov to recirc

[RichardPON]

No worries mate.... if I find the pipe, I'll have a decent bung to get shot of, so will let you know.

[as8133]

plastic coke bottle top was what i used for years...

[jimGTS]

ok thanks, guess i better look around the house!!!!! lol

can anyone give me the low down why the stock bov is generally regarded as better than aftermarket ones?? even if there were recirced?? (ignoring the AFM, i know the deal with this)

cheers

Not spring related. So no leaks.

Apparenlty.

Get a large Wheel nut put it in the side of the intake , then use a clamp or something.. I used one for my pcv hole

[skytek]

Just wanted to chip in and say I used the gas canister of an empty athsma inhaler wrapped in black insulation tape for mine on my old car
