Default bpv help please!

My bypass valve which is stock, went bad. So I've heard alot of people putting Bosch bpv's on there supras. I have a Bosch bpv that I got for free but the stock hoses wont fit the bosh bpv. Solo Wat should I do? Shove thee hose on there? Fabricate a hose somehow? Or buy a bigger hose and clamp them down on the accordion hose?

head to the auto store and see if they have a necked down hose that will adapt the two. if not there, try home depot or lowes.

I bought some new heater hose with the bends I wanted, lubed everything up with a lil WD40 and just rammed the bov into the hose ends. Worked great.

just did some red neck engineering on my buddies f150 tonight. (off subject i know) made an electric fan setup for him for less than 50 bux. gained 1.4 mpg and shaved .8 seconds of the 0-60 time. got her down to 7.4!

the fan and controller works great. kicks on at 198 and shuts off at 192. god i love ghetto fabbing.

There's nothing ghetto about what you did.... unless you used the temp probe and thermostat setup from a stove.... that's ghetto.

I had a Bosch on my MKIII, I went to the parts store and looked through the hoses for one which reduced in size... found one in about 2 minutes ($10), cut off the excess and installed with no forcing needed.

I'm kind of hip to the oven thermostat fan controller idea... It's adjustable AND it comes with a cool, labeled dial that would look F'n AMAZING on any dash... just imagine the ooh's and ah's...

We need a Tim Allen thread in the off-topic section. Could start with Lamarossa (just google him) and there's a guy on SF who's done some VERY interesting $2 mods and hacks... some are even well thought out and quite functional.
