Title: Fitting HKS BOV (old style)
Post by: D2BBA on February 08, 2006, 11:08:55 AM
Hi folks,

Can anyone help me with this quick question?

I’m just about to fit a second hand HKS DP BOV to my FD.  The BOV came as you see it pictured.  It was fitted to an FD prior.

Everything seems straight forward, except the second “nipple” as pictured.  I cant find a vacuum line to attach.  Is this just left free,  I presume in this case the kit is adaptable for other cars.

If you can check the pic and put my mind at rest before fitting.

Ta
Chris

I\'ve got this exact dump valve on my car, but it\'s at my folks place so I can\'t check. From memory, it uses the one vaccum feed with a t-piece to supply both nipples.

Sounds like a plan!  Dont suppose you will be back at your folks to check in the next 5 weeks will you matey?  Mine will be out of the bodyshop and in need of some serious driving by then :)

Hiya mate,

hokay, just had a look at how my dump valve is set up....as I thought it\'s got a single vacuum line coming from one of the nipples (oo er) on the UIM, with a t-piece supplying both nipples on the dump valve. I took some pics but I don\'t seem to be able to post them, will see if I can upload em onto photobucket.
