Purchased a used FK8 w/HKS Blowoff Valve and Eventuri Intake/Pipes

[SaitoHawkeye]

Could you please take pictures up close of the BOV and how the hose made it past/under the Eventuri intake? I have both and it was one of the biggest pains. Curious if there was a better way I should have done to accomplish.

Also I am aware of the concerns with the BOV, but I’m willing to live with them.

Hope this helps!

Yes thank you! It’s a real PITA and I adjusted the mounting bracket for the BOV for my set up to get it to fit. It looks like on your setup they actually cut into the Eventuri intake box and ran the hose through it. Just know then when you remove it that you will have what looks like potentially 2 holes (top & bottom) in the carbon fiber box of your intake.

Yeah the Eventuri box was modified; I'm not sure which mod came first but I'm assuming the intake...I really want to try to find the previous owner and pick his brain about the car because it was obviously a labor of love.

Guy had money to burn for sure, it is a nice intake second in my opinion only to the HKS carbon fiber intake itself. (im just an HKS fan boy)

Um this looks really nice but...that hose is touching the carbon on the passenger side....with vibration this is gonna cause the hose to tear and cause a boost leak and it needs to be addressed or you'll think the BOV is causing issues

I’d have the dealer service department return it to stock.

Yeah, I looked at this more closely and I'm gonna try to address it this weekend.

Make sure you check the bottom hole as well. An easy fix is to remove the box and use a stone dremel tool and remove the carbon 1 1/2 inches all the way around the hose. Use a white marker pen and draw your outline. Tape the box with masking tape to prevent stress cracking and last check the bottom hose and do the same. Lastly I'd use a door edge gaurd in black and line the hole so that for sure no carbon is exposed to water
