#7091, "BOV and Battery Question,,,,," Nov-07-03 05:55 AM by BigBald
How do i know where to adjust the knob too on the back of the BOV? I am new to this so please don't flame if this is a rookie question. I have it install right and it is the HKS SSQV with the recirc kit. I just want to know if i did this right.
My Battery seems to have water coming out of it for some reason. What can be causing this to happen? I am stock other then the BOV which was just added today. I do have a stereo system hooked up in the car but this never happened in my GS, I am curious as to thoughts.
Thanks in Advance.....

if your battery is exploding like it did on my 90gsx it is caused by the ALT... You will have to replace the alt...... take a reading on the alt and also load test the battery to see if it is bad....

When I first got my BOV and IC piping, I opened it all the way up and then slowly tightened the screw till it stopped leaking at idle. Then I drove it around boosting a little, stopping to tighten it periodically till I started get a little compressor surge when letting off at partial throttle. Haven't touched it since...

Well how can i tell if i am leaking. At idle it reads around 18 on the VAC side of the gauge.

won't make you lose power... It will make things act "funny" though. Lights REAL bright and stuff. Get a volt meter and check the battery when ignition is off. (12V) then check it when running. Should be a little higher (13-14V). If you see it much different than that, it's the alt. saying goodbye.

When I give it gas my whole car lights up like christmas. The car starts real funny after setting a while. I am going to check everything tomorrow at Advanced auto. I believe it is the altenator.
