Hey everyone, i searched "adjusting bov" and read through all 13 results (archived and all ) and no one had the same issue, so.....

i have a greddy type-s bov and when i was adjusting it (maybe too much) the threaded stud along with the locking nut came off. now i can screw the stud in partially but it does not allow much, if ANY adjustability. it also seems as if it is just barely in there (like one or 2 threads)

Any ideas?

i can get pixtures if it would help but i dont think theyre necessary, unless my description blew.lol

did you strip the hole out?? the locking nut really isnt necessary, but if it is stripped drill it out and tap it for a larger bolt

edit: and yes get pictures those are always good

ill get some pics up tomorrow - im worried that it will not hold boost (12psi) when i get my set up back to 100%.

id rather not drill and tap - lol - ill prob just buy another one if thats the case

all go teg

i would try and take it apart, see how the valve looks on the underside. im not really that familiar with the type S but i have the type RS and its similar, then again i have never taken it apart just watch out for the spring in there so the top doesn't shoot off and poke out an eye

komat

jb weld the nut onto the top cover

I just repaired a guy's Greddy-S, he had the same problem.

I just drilled and tapped the hole for an 8mm bolt (go as fine as you can..more threads = more strength)

A common mistake that people make is that they don't loosen the locknut before adjusting, so the threads pull out.



It's not as pretty as it is functional

thanks for the pic - i just took some but looks like no need to post them.

im not sure what ill do.

any other makers (other than greddy) BOVs that fit on the greddy flange??

Just oversize the bolt so an 8mm can fit, and do like above. Why spend a bunch when you only need to spend a little?

Integra21

im not sure if i want another bov though... ive been kicking around the idea of a new one also... not sure

any other brands use the same flange other than vortech?

The Weather Man

The raptor bov has the same flange.
Or if yo uwant to get a chea pone - you can get one from a skyline - has the same flange....uh, thats all i can think of off top of my dome.

Integra21

any more info on the chea pone? never heard of it

just weighing out my options now
