Sounds good. YOur gonna do what everyone does with an aftermarket BOV with the stock one. Hey you saving yourself some money. Without the BOV connected to the air box or aftermarket filters you will get a similar sound to an aftermarket BOV.

this is a ******* awesome question...I must say I wish I would have thought of that.



I don't see any reason why it won't work...it will actually be safer right? We know you can cap the crv and just use the bov but its safer to keep both. But what about getting rid of the cool compressed air that was mentioned? Aftermarket bovs are usually after the intercooler any way right?



you'll hear it better from the drivers side too...you'll just need one long ass vacuum line to T into the bov



Coolio!

Do we have any testers???



One in stock location and one in elbow location.



Then just one in elbow location.



You could run the vac line behind the UIM so it woodn't be that strange looking...



So what's the consenus on two??? Safe, waste, or pretty custom and neat?



I feel like trying it, but can't think where to mount/vent the hose??? Maybe since it's after the IC there won't be much oil blow by...another Q; My TB has the coolant bypassed, but the AWS isn't blocked off, so if it's still electrically plugged https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif and I pull that air hose off, will that be okay?



TIA who anyone who can shed light.

I believe I used a 1/2 watt 330 ohm resistor for that one as well. I will check for sure later but I am almost positive thats what I did. Just go to radio shack they are like $2 for 6. Take the resistor and put male or female spades (opposite of what youre connecting) and push it up in there. Make sure to use electrical tape to cover it all up when youre done. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

WTF are you talking about??????

boostdfd3s 08-25-2003 09:42 AM

hes talking about elminiating the AWS solenoid w/o getting a check engine light. But you can remove that AWS hose and it'll be fine...it just wont work ne more https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Thanks for clearing that up...I was so confused for a second. AWS doesn't work anyway, just revs to 3k and then down to 1.2k...I kind of like it, sounds real mean (even though its not the best thing for the engine)
