Guest Anonymous Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 On the stock intake manifold there is a bunch of just polution stuff and the BOV. I was talking to a z car spiecialist (sold me the eng) and he said that what alot of people do is shave off all of that stuff off the top keeping the BOV. I was wondering what yall have done with that stuff (kept it or got rid of it) : Another Question : what do i need to do (modify) to reach 350 RWHP?

Cruez Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I think it can be done with an aftermarket FI system...not the stock system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Most people end up raplacing the "BOV" with a 1" pipe plug anyways. You will for sure if you are going for 350hp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 The "BOV" you speak of isn't a blow-off valve at all. It is a pop-off valve. (POV?) And it has a distinctly different purpose than the BOV, though the mechanicals are similar. The POV vents the intake in case of overboosting, this helps prevent engine damage. Can be replaced with a 1" pipe plug if you are upping the boost. The BOV vents the tube leading into the intake before the throttle body when the TB is closed, so that the negative pressure wave reflecting off the TB doesn't collide with the turbine wheels and cause the turbo to slow down. This can make your car faster, as you don't have to wait quite as long after a shift for the turbo to spool again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Another Question : what do i need to do (modify) to reach 350 RWHP? Thanks Fred There are a number of threads you can search for the answers to that question. There were 2 distinct threads this summer on this exact subject. The short answer depending on your budget : fuel management, big fuel system, intercooler, big a$$ turbo, exhaust, body reinforcement, better brakes, and a good motor and driveline, with HD clutch. Same as any turbo car, I could have written that for any number of target vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest De Schmaydee Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 ....i think you should leave the stock-stuff on there until you get it in the car and running right. then you can 'speryment.......s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
