BOV's and clutch hydrolics...

[frftw]

Hey I finially got my ca running but im having some problems. first off my greddy rz bov is not working and i am experiencing compressor surge even though it is set on the softest setting. i tried searching but didnt find anything. I might also need a softer spring... gotta find one.NOW for the important thingEven though i replaced the clutch master cylnder and slave cylnder AND removed the clutch dampening thing i still cant go into gear with the engine on. i have clutch preassure just not enough to fully disengage the clutch. i have flushed the system several times so air bubbles is not the problem..help me out here!thanks-alex

Do you have a proper vacuum source for the BOV?

Have you tried adjusting the rod on the clutch master? If you arent moving enough fluid, the clutch wont disengage.

well it was connected by the shop who welded it on and they connected it to the port on the tb, wich i thought was a coolant recurculation valve. It needs to be connected to a source on the intake manifold, right?im gonna mess with the clutch pedal tomorrow after school (unless the weather turns s*** again)

[IanS]

Which port on the throttle body?

If its the one on the body, that only provides pressure, not vacuum, so it wont work.

Could you take a picture of it?

ill try to take a pic when i get home from school, but its the one on the lower left on a ca throttle body

edit:i searched and found this diagram that this guy drew:zer...40096the one that the bov is hooked up to is the one that the guy points to saying block off so i am going to look for a new vaccum source

[IanS]

Yep, thats just a boost source, no vacuum.

i blocked off the port it was originially connected to on the tb and t'd it in with a im vaccum sourceen den...woooooshmy bov worked! no more compressor surge. now i just have to adjust the clutch peadel so i can drive
