location of greddy type-s BOV on charge piping....
i just got done installing my skunk2 intake manifold on my GSR motor(in my 98 civic), and everything went well except for the fact that the blow off valve sits way too high now(cant close the hood).. the throttle cable sits a little high now too but i think the hood should still be able to close.
so my question is, are there any designated areas on the charge piping that the BOV will be most efficient in? are there some areas/angles that are better or worse than others?
other then the hood closing problem, the car runs awesome, no CEL or anything like that and it pulls a lot harder/smoother in the mid-top range... one of the best mods to my car so far..
any help is appreciated, here is something i did in paint really quick(for the visual people)...
thanks in advance for any help

yea i was thinking of just chopping that extenstion on the flange down.... hopefully that would give enough room...

Re: (THE_HX)
For the throttle cable issue, you can have an oem look to it, grab a throttlebody from ur old sohc (or somebody's sohc), use the pulley on ur gsr tb, then go to the acura dealership and pick up a throttle cable and bracket from an itr, that way you have an oem look on ur skunk2 manifold.
PS. Instead of the sohc throttlebody, you can get an str one (if u wanna upgrade), they have holes on their pulley for gsr and non-gsr cables, dunno who else has that on their tb.

thanks a bunch for the info man... i really appreciate it...
i'll most likely just cut the flange down like i had orginally planned to do, but i figured if that wouldnt work i'd find out where another good spot would be to put the BOV... thanks for all the info guys..

You want the BOV towards the throttle body, because the air mass as inertia in that direction.
If you can just cut the flange shorter, you'll be fine. Worse case, move it down some, which is also fine.
