OK kids,
Hoses needed to finish the install, these are all summitracing.com part #s. Blu is avail imidiately, Black is on B/O

SAM-E90-25BLACK
SAM-SR-63-51BLACK
SAM-E45-70BLACK

Clamps are still needed. The other silicone hoses I can get are generic ATP black hoses but they do not make the 1" 90 hose to recirculate the BOV exhaust.

The BOV I recomend is a Greddy Type RS as this is what the pipe is designed to accept. YOu will need to pick up and addapter fitting to convert the BOV outlet to a hose barb type from ATP. I recomend the 1" over the 1 1/4" as space is limited and the install looks cleaner. Hope the info helps and I may be getting back to SF in 2 weeks or so for a day. I"ll need to know by next Friday wha everyone is doing and we can start talking funds at that point.

Geoff if your reading this thread I'll be after the drive rivet guys upon my return to get the last of the windbreaks to you.

Is there a group buy on valves and adaptors happening?

Missed out on the pipe, but I would think it can be made to fit the Bailey T-piece I already have?

Thanks

I've had a look on the Greddy website and they list the BOV @ $240, but won't even let me into the online shop because I'm in the UK. They do have UK distributors, but I guess the dollar to pound conversion will be the usual 1:1 + a bonus for their trouble.

Anyone on that side of the pond willing to organise the group buy? :wink:

I would check Ebay. There are lot of them posted for sale. Good price too.

CLICK ME!

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I saw a picture of somebody's engine bay (enright's I think) in the picture gallery. It looks like there is a BOV tapped into the stock pipe. I've only seen them on metal pipes. How do you tap a BOV into the stock setup?

It was probably mine, not Notrights.
Two bolts

Pretty sure it's Enright's. here's the picture.

Jesus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, so what you telling us LGM, you can't get all the silicone hoses in black ?, blues fine by me if need be to be easy . Is this Greddy Type RS, the same one as in Elkapols link ?, & where do we get the adapter from ( who / where is ATP ). The money is not a problem, getting parts over here is !

Thread hijack

Yep you're right tweety. I read it wrong, thought you said bov into a metal pipe :oops:

.
Yep, thats Neils car, used to belong to Rod.

by **Enright** » Sun 07.10.2007, 18:25

Yep, that's mine.
I used a couple of pieces of old water hose, 4 jubilee clips, a plastic overflow fitting for a water tank, and a sink overflow!
It was very rough and ready, but it's been doing the job for over 6 months now without any trouble at all.

Wow! Did you ever see "MacGyver?" how did you do that without the use of duct tape?

Seriously, I'd like to copy you. Seems like a good route to save a little money.

What I'm saying is that the black are available from summit racing but they are special order. The generic are available but only the transition and the 45 degree, not the recirc hose.

The BOV is the same one that Ekapol had posted. The adapter can be gotten by either Ekapol or myself from ATP for those who wish it.

by **abmunro** » Mon 08.10.2007, 21:44

I would like you to get me the adapter please

So what did you do to get the recirc hose ?, what hose is it ?
