90TGP Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 Who has a blow-off valve? Where is it located at? How hard was it to install? Is it aftermarket, or did you get it from a junkyard? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse5302 Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 They do carry them...a lot of places do now, but they are expensive compared to a salvage yard 1G DSM BOV. Just go to a yard and get one from a 1G DSM Turbo Talon/Eclipse/Laser (91-94, I think). I have the rest of the directions on my website, http://www.turboste.com. I'm actually rebuilding the server that is hosting turboste.com right now, and the site is down. So if you have questions about doing this upgrade, just email me. I bought the whole pipe and BOV from the yard, cut the flange off of the intake pipe and welded it to my lower IC pipe. Then I bolted the BOV on to the flange. Then I hooked the vac line to a source of manifold vac/boost behind the throttle plate. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGPilot Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hey eclipse5302... Your instructions on installing the BOV look great (saw them 3 weeks ago). Do you know if a filter is required for the BOV or is there only relief pressure coming out of the BOV? I put a 92 Eclipse BOV on my TGP and have noticed quite a difference between shifts... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted September 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I just picked up a 1stgen Talon BOV from the local junkyard for $20. Need to clean it up a little before I have it installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90TGP Posted September 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 The junkyard I went to has another DSM with a bov. It would take a little work to get it out though, since there is more stuff connected to it then the one I just bought. If you really need one, I can get it for you this weekend[maybe]. I'll sell it for the cost of the part and shipping&handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 What do you mean more stuff connected to it? Is it the same as the one you got or isn't it? You pulled the whole pipe, correct? If it's the same I want it. $20 plus shipping? See what shipping is to 15801. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted September 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 The one I got is the same as the other one. It's just that the one I bought, everything connected to it was cut-off and nothing was around it, so it was easily accessible. The other BOV still has hose connected to it and is between a fuse box and something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 If the price is going to be $20 plus shipping I'll take it. Let me know a final price. My zipcode is 15801. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted September 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hey, I've been sick for the past three days, so I probably won't be able to make it to the junkyard this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a 1g Eclipse BOV. the best location for BOV's are 12" away from the throttle body. i am ordering a lazer cut flange from http://www.roadraceengineering.com/flangesandgaskets.htm for $14 including gasket. then having it welded on to my own custom piping. I am doing a custom trubo as well on my 1995 Z34 Monte. I have a few misc parts allready, i am saving for the Turbine and I/C. here is what my BOV looks like (mine included J-pipe) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1862165402 HKS also has a cheap BOV as well: http://www.overboost.com/obs/product.asp?pid=16603&cat_id=1&cat_name=Forced%20Induction&sc_id=6&sc_name=Blow%20Off%20Valves RedZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
