Blow Off valve Question.

[sarichmond]

My stock Blowoff valve sounds like its gone. Compression surging like crazy. So I want to replace it with a Blitz SSBOV Blow-off Valve or a Greddy (not sure which one yet). The thing is I do not have IC hard pipes yet and won't have them probably until after the spring. So I want to place the new one where the stock one was for the time being. Can anybody see a problem with that? I know I have to by a flange the will fit on the hose, but I feel I'm forgetting something. So I call upon the supra gods (which are you guys) to lead this young grasshopper.

Thanks

PM me or email me if you want my old mounting kit for a greddy bov. I used to have it with my stock pipes, but now I have hard pipes and I do not need it anymore. Let me know if you are interested, all I want is shipping since it is of no value to me. Let me know if this would help you any. It is just the metal piece that mounts to the stock ic pipes so all you need is a new bov and gasket and you will be good to go.

Now, I'm not sure if Blitz makes a pipe that will install on the stock IC pipes so you might have to make your own. Basically just change out the pipe between the 2 rubber bits above the intake pipe (with Al preferably), and weld your flange to that pipe you replaced.

The alternative is that you get the HKS SSQV kit that I believe does have the option of a pre-made bolt on pipe like I described above.

jam... this is not a for sale section, DO NOT SOLICIT SALES!

the blitz DD kit for the mk3 comes with a hardpipe like the hks so its just a simple install

I am not selling it to him, I was just trying to help him out. I am giving him the piece, as I know this is not a forsale section. I was just simply trying to help him out, but I guess next time if I want to give someone something for free then I will stick to pm's. Sorry again, I was really just trying to help him out by saying he can have my spare parts and then he wouldn't even have to use the stock bov mounting location, so do not say I am trying to solicit a sale when I am not making one cent off of this. do not hate because some of us give things away, you are giving him knowledge of how to mount the bov and I am giving him the parts he needs. Now please explain to me how that is soliciting? If you look the word up it says how soliciting is meant to persuade.....how in the world am I trying to persuade this guy? If he wants the FREE part he wants it, if not, then he doesnt. Now where is the problem with trying to give him something? Now if I said hey you do not want to use the stock location, buy my part for x amount of dollars, that would be soliciting, but I am giving it to him.

i wouldnt exactly call that a sale. all he asked for was shipping cost. i'd say he's doing the community (and the origional poster) a favor.

Thank you very much shaeff. It just seemed like it was wrong to want to give someone something and that did not make any sense to me. It was as if mkIIIman089 could not believe that there are nice people in this world who are not out to make money. I just simply do not need it anymore and am trying to help a fellow member out because I know if I was in a tight situation and someone could help me out then I would really appreciate it.

I appreciate all your help. Like I said, you guys are the best on giving advise and help on any MKIII matter and really think he was trying to help me out. No hard feelings right fellas?

 

[mkIIIman089]

Just use a PM and it'll be no problem. You want to organise a way for him to pay you to send out a part thats between the buyer and seller. You can call it giving if you would like, but you're selling a part to him for the price of shipping.

 

[jam4484]

So you are saying that I own the post office or ups or whatever I send the bov flange for? You do know that the only way to solicit something is to try and get something out of the deal. I am losing money by giving it to him, I am not getting anything out of shipping it AS I DO NOT OWN THE POST OFFICE! How is having him pay for shipping selling? If he lived in ct or around here then I would be more than happy to drive it to him. I just do not understand how you are trying to tell me that is soliciting. Please be informed on a subject and at least know what the words mean that you are using before you try and hate on me for trying to help someone out. If I have any parts you need I would be more than happy to send them to you and only ask for you to pay shipping, I do not see how only paying for shipping can get any better...man I do not understand some people...we are here to help eachother and you are trying to tell me I am soliciting...:3d_frown:

Sry, I didn't explain how he could install the BOV in stock IC piping, I must not be helping.

Sell - To exchange or deliver for money or its equivalent.

You are delivering an item for money are you not?

 

[jam4484]

This simply is not worth my time any more. I tried to explain it and you think one way, I think the other, no big deal in my book. I stated how you tried to help and how I tried to help, and they were different, but we both tried to help(I stated this in a previous post) It is just funny how you take my lending a hand and try to foil that, it's the internet and realize that just because others think differently than you does not make them wrong. Too bad you don't know me because then you would know I was simply trying to help, but maybe one day you will need something(part, a hand, tools, advice, anything) and I would be more than happy to help you in any way I could.

mkIIIman089, calm down.

Nowhere in our rules that I am aware of does it say you cannot solicit sales - with the exception of businesses and group buys, both of which merely need to get authorization from a mod first. I could be wrong, after all, I'm only an admin, I don't know everything about the site... However, this is the General section, and this is absolutely Supra related.

If you think this policy should be changed, feel free to post a poll, link to this thread as the reasoning behind the change, and we'll see what the membership thinks on the subject. I'm more than willing to change any policy we have to make the majority of the members happy.

 

[shaeff]

^ agreed.

[Ckanderson]

I am with grim and shaeff on this one... Jam seems like a real good guy... if he is offering to help out a member for no monitary benifit to himself then thats great!

 

[mkIIIman089]

OK, fine, whatever. Too many people are vs. me so I'll just drop it.

I'm sorry to whoever I offended in this thread, I was wrong.

No hard feelings Supra buddies?

However, I do think we should keep the buying and selling in the b/s/t forums.

Back to the original topic - testing your stock BOV is easy, pull off one of the two big hoses and blow through it. If you can, it's dead.

Another point though - a dead stock BOV will not cause compressor surge - it just makes it harder for the turbo to build boost.
