Vortec BOV positioning on intercooler RX1

[rxboost05]

anyone running a vortec Bov on an rx1 stage one, looks like it is going to be a close fit. Any tips or info on this would be great. Do not want to make any mistakes on installation.

i have one also and have not found a place to mount it yet
s.c intercooler must be different everywhere i put it , it hits the
hood. if anybody has one installed one on a s.c rx1 pictures
would be great.

Thats the problem i am finding. was thinking of cutting a small hloe in the hood and getting some custom work done, but do not really want to cut the hood up.

You can remote mount them using 1.5 inch tubing.
Can be as long as needed no issues.

I was thinking of putting it in front of the steering column. The adapter is allready welded to the angled part of the intercooler above the drive cclutch. We do not really have people around here to a job like this. Just the kids at the local muffler shop. Would it be possible to do this without the sled and get close, possibly could get some tweeking done on it if it was close?

You even have the option of flexible hose Like push lock in 1.5 id.

never heard the term push lock hose. any idea of a supplier so i can check on it?

Push lock is just a better than average quality hose , will take higher pressure's, usually double braided with a special twist to lock and hold on to the fitting w/o a clamp!

Local Napa , or Hydraulic shop will have it !

I bought a bov adapter hose from Turbo Hoses to replace the hose that goes on the end of the charge tube (closest to the intercooler). It has a one inch spigot coming off it which I pugged my bov into. 100 miles and no problems yet. The only thing was I had to make two bushings out of the old charge hose (1.75 inch) because the new adapter hose is 2 inch. Hope this makes sense.
