Pic of BOV in question:


A friend of mine has a Greddy blow off valve on his Eclipse GSX, and today he tried to tighten it up with the adjusment nut/screw, and it just spins like the screw is stripped somehow...

I know nothing about how BOV's work, but I was wondering if it can be rebuilt in any way to fix it?

I told him to get it home, take it off, and try taking it apart and seeing if something has come loose inside...

Thoughts on this??

 

get a better bov. i have seen the greddys time over time fail and allow comperssor surge. TIAL 50mm > *, i had an hks and was getting slight compressor surge at around 25-30psi so i switch out to a tial

 

The motor is stock for now, so I don't think he's running 25-30psi, and there's no budget for a "better one"... But that really didn't answer the question...

Can these be rebuilt or fixed???

 

ive never heard of one being rebuilt, but i could be wrong. id just buy a new one you can get them all over the place for dirt cheap

 

tap it for the next size up, and use a bigger bolt. problem solved
