i have a stock turbo system on my 12a and i was woundering can you add a blow off valve?

A friend of mine gave me a greddy rs bov and a flange with 2 1/2 " pipe, it seems like i can make it fit but will it work? I just love that bov sound ...... any body got a clue cause i dont.

 

12a's only came with turbochargers in japan. It sounds like you dont know much about cars and not much about your car. If so thats fine, i am not trying to insult you or anything. But i would say you should read and read and read everything you can find on cars in general, turbo systems in general, and then get more specific and learn about your car and what you have before you start modifying anything. Read alot and realize that eveything on the internet is not always accurate so consider your sources, and go find some books at barnes and noble or somewhere. Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost" is a good read if you want to understand turbo systems.



Yes you can add an aftermarket BOV to your car, but depending on how your computer knows what amount of air is coming into the engine it can cause the car to run like crap between shifts or just after your shift. You need to figure out what you have first and if you cant wait until you sorta know what you are doing to install the BOV then post your mods and maybe someone can tell you whether or not its a good idea.

 

I know the engine i have is a japan spec 12a turbo and it isnt intercooled or anything.my dad installed it and died shortly after, i do know my dad ordered the motor when he was living in peurto rico. the only help i can get question wise is from you guys. and i tried to get as much info on my engine as possible but there really isnt much out there on the j-spec 12at not in english at least. also i appriciate the heads up on the books, right now im reading rotary performance by ankas. ill be sure to read those other books. and I think I'll wait before i add a bov. thanks

 

Check out rotaryshack.com get there phone number or email them your questions.

I hear that parts are some times hard to come buy check out my web site If u want. www.mattsrx-7salvage.s5.com. most of my stuff is posted but I have a few things that arent. let me know what u need if any. If I dont have it I can get it

 

hey sup thanks for the info. also i need the drivers side tail light. I also added your site as one of my favorites. I checked back in P.R. with my uncle and he dont got any lights 4 me. Eso vale

 

do you want the lense or the whole thing

 

Just the lens I have the drivers side tail light lens. mine i split open and took the red plates out making em clear. I guess thats why they stole em but one of my familia mambers gave me the passenger side so now all i need is the drivers side.

 

Yeah you can throw it on there, just don't set it too soft or you can cause the engine to stall while you're driving.

 

thank you thats what i needed to know.

 

$40.00 OBO for the lense let is In kick *** condition no cracks.
