just wanted to share this picture of the worst BOV placement ever
 

saw this on a local forum, i kinda know the owner, and hes nothing short of retarded.

Attachment 200748

to make it even worse i tried to tell him that it was bad and he got all mad and defensive... so fuck it :noob:

I had to look for a sec. Tell him he should recirculate into his exhaust.

let us know if his shit blows up????

rofl

I wonder is any small rocks have accumulated in his inercooler yet...

or small birds! :laugh:

apparently he had some issues recently because his motor ingested a "drill bit" that was left inside one of the charge pipes...
I bet it was a nail that got sucked into the BOV on the highway, hahaha

I could be wrong... but is that piping made of that fancy autozone special exhaust bends, a piece of coolant hose, and a pvc pipe coupler from lowes?

I'm sorry, I don't get it. Where is it?

Under the DP

I also like the lack of a dump tube on the wastegate

as soon as it opens its blowing superheated exhuast on the back of his headlight...

Yep......looks like a honda. :facepalm:

Haha you posted it here, I should have known... hell I should have done it

lil to racist, we make fun of our own failure family as would you.

I don't know what to say at this time.

i think thats a first.....usually you always got somthin to say!

Dear god, don't drive with any kind of precipitation. At first I didn't see it and kept looking at the w/g and was wondering wtf you guys were talking about. He better route that w/g to the valve cover, pronto.

no back into the intake mani! :giggle:

nice missing manifold nuts,better yet -awesome upper radiator hose!

I like the valve cover better. It's better to have a positive pressure oil system. Makes those turbo seals last longer.

I would assume this is mid build, but it doesn't change the fact that he fails.

I'm really curious to see how this turns out. Please upload pics of the end result.

wow. just... wow.


I thought I failed my first DIY... but damn.
YouTube - Turbo NOS Geo Metro with an attitude

I got you penguin.

thanks chief, I fail at forums mostly.

The guy works at advance..... theres usually one or two good nuts in a basket full of dumb asses at those places.

I kept looking at the picture and I was like that's a wastegate dumbass, but then I was like miata owners are not that dumb (I take that back). After I saw it then I LOL'd, but it's not as bas as I thought. I was expecting a BOV in a intake pipe or an NA car.

dammit...save picture and attach to the post, I can't see it!

lol at: upper rad hose, wg vta (literally), and no fucking air filter on the turbo inlet. What is the inlet jammed against, clutch or speedo cable or something?

Anyone have a pic of a well executed one of these things?

Here ya go.

why is that location so awful? it's not like he put it on the DP itself..

I wish we had cast turbo manifolds that looked like that.

Nah that is mad tyte JDM yo.

here's what's really annoying. That manifold is 80 bucks brand new!
And they're proven to be very reliable.
Supply and demand I suppose :/

heres some more pics of his fail-mobile

^ doenst even bother him that he has no dump tube...

can you explain why that position is "the worst placement ever."

can you explain how it's worse than being bolted to say: the DP?

okay its the worst placement for actually still functioning as a BOV.

The issue being that its 2 inches from the ground and has likely sucked up all sorts of random things, as BOVs will occasionally draw air in.

That combined with the collapsed upper radiator hose, the opened wastegate vent, and the POS downpipe just make it more hilarious.

also, he used to have a del sol with an integra front end on it :laugh:

I think its lame but suppose the guy just wants people to hear it better.

I didn't even notice it was one of Honda's SOHC monsters. I guess the D15. What's sad is that 1.5L makes as much power as BP's in the NA's. That's Honda for you.

Is this the outside pic? :facepalm:

I see your picture and raise you....

(this guy actually drove this to a local meet)

At least cylinder number 4 won't be overboosting.

The owner of that car is (no lie) probably one of the best examples of a retarded honda owner ever.

The funniest thing of all is he truly believes that this setup will make upwards of 400 whp and beat alot of decently fast cars around town when its done..we all call him del-tegra because of the first monstrosity he brought before the honda world.

He makes me extremely embarrassed to own a honda and i especially hate the fact that i bet he thinks that that joke of a setup is better than say..... mine.
I just hope it stays together long enough so i can rape it with a heavier car, full interior, and ill make sure to turn my boost down lower than his.

I'm going to make the trip up there with some friends! In my experience kids like this can't launch worth shit. All they know is 40 roll. My boy Drob will take him out with 150 horses in his EF hatch.

i just thought of this when i saw it... then i felt dumb because i didn't know why the bov was so horrible.

As long as he has his non anti lag, crome free tuned, 2-step i am sure he thinks he has a chance.

I worked on one of his cars in the past and learned my lesson, all he wanted was to be able to go wom bom bom at every redlight, and of course thought his stock ls was going to be "fast" from a simple street tune.

he blew my phone up for 2 weeks trying to get me to work on this most recent hunk of junk and after i finally got it through his head i wont work on his cars anymore he had the balls to ask me to let him borrow my tuning equipment and give him a few pointers...

Im ready to snap on that kid for making me ashamed to own my car.

I wish we could find a pic of the ol' del-tegra, lol

pics cant possibly do justice to the failure of that car

Honestly, thats almost all it could have been.

Perfect example.

I take slight offense to that ^.. its like saying all miata owners should have rainbow bumper stickers.

I have always wanted one of those, but my soviet flag bumper sticker sometimes gets me some wierd looks.

Is it just me or does that honda also NOT HAVE AN AIR FILTER!!!???!!!

I'd like you to show me a turbo honda with a filter...then I'd be amazed.

Honda's don't need air filters. Creates to much of a restriction.

lol remember this?

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

Whats the big deal... and how can a BOV suck up anything when its meant to release positive pressure? You must be talking about the not having a filter... It's not the most ideal placement, but i don't see how its going to do any detrimental damage being there.

This was your very first quote, you didn't even introduce yourself...... is it possible that you yourself is the owner of the said fail mobile?

:facepalm: You do understand how that type of BOV operates right?

mosts BOVs are opened whenever the car is in vacuum, some with stiffer springs dont open until hiogher vacuum levels so it will be closed while cruising, but theyre still typically opened during idle and deceleration. And yes, under these circumstances they can sometimes pull air in.

Not having a filter on the turbo is one thing, Ive known ppl to get away with it for a good while. The inlet of the turbo is in the air stream blowing off the radiator fan and its a ways off the ground so It probably wont suck up a whole lots.

But the BOV is like 2 inches from the ground, its gonna suck up loads of sand and whatnot.

really?:facepalm:



Vaccum is a very fast and powerful thing, my vacuum will bump to -20 on deceleration on the guage. When that throttle plate closes, and the boost is released, sometimes the valve stays open until the vacuum rises above -10, or depending on the spring rate. That is why they have recurculating valves which is protected by the air filter, some poeple put crank case filters on their BOVs, and others just put it a place either high above closer to hood level, or on a side of a charger pipe with the discharge facing toward the ground. I at leas put a SS screen on my BOV and have it on the side of a charge pipe.

So i couldn't visualize what a pile of crap a del sol/ integra would look like, so i figured i would google, here are pics of your too lazy. Let the riciness ensue.
