i know where to put it but the hosing on the bov..............like how to connect the hoses...........

[bhop73]

I'm not sure I understand then.. BOV's don't have hoses, unless you're recirculating, and turbo'd Hondas don't, as far as I know.

[mike@af]

I think the recirc hoses go into the intake on the turbo side (not engine side, the one with the filter). Most cars dont use recirculation.

[bhop73]

Indeed.. this is my Eclipse. Notice how it recirculates near the intake. Aftermarket turbos on a car that wasn't factory turbo'd won't need to be recirculated. Something to do with the MAF Sensor. If I were to vent mine, however, it would run like crap, because the sensor thinks something's wrong.

There are two small hoses on a BOV, one on each side of the diaphragm. One is attached to the intake before the throttle body, and one after.

ooo ok.....that was what i was looking for.......................thanks for your help

Oops.. forgot about the vacuum hose.. heh..

There should only be one hose though, not two. On the Greddy for example, the lower nipple is usually left open.
