[steven89]

My car has a HKS SSQV BOV in it and the lil copper looking fitting is gone.. Is my only option to buy a new BOV? or can i get a replacement fitting and put it on?

Thanks in advance

Get the thread measurement then a vac fitting online. Worst case scenario you could retap it.

where would i go about getting a fitting?

 

[MK3Brent]

Personally, I would go to my local race shop and look through their fittings... but if you don't have one near you, go to home depot and find a bolt that threads in the hole easily, then write down the thread pitch (ect).

just buy a generic vac. fitting, re-tap it and screw it in.

pretty sure those things dont have threads, they are only pressed in.

Oh... hmm.

Eh?

Create a good seal using a good metal-metal clue, test the bov for leaks, re-attach to vaccum source.

 

[steven89]

I dunno about you, but every time I tried calling them... I never got anyone.


Fluby thinks it's a answering machine, in the center of a mountain somewhere in Japan.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

youll probably have to get creative in finding another piece that fits there.

after all, it only a small brass tube anyway.

Buy a newer version SSQV so you won't have to worry about it?

i'll buy said broken BOV for $20 shipped

 

[aljordan]

take it to a hardware store, and ask for their copper tubing. Then you'll see what one fits inside. Shouldn't be a big deal really.

Or you could disasemble the bov, and drill and tap 1/8NPT thread, and buy a screw in fitting. 1/8NPT is about as small as one can go and still easily fid fittings.
