| Post subject: | UIC pipe problem |
Well, I tore into my Eclipse today to swap out my Upper intercooler pipe, and only find out the gasket i bought from the mitsu dealer out here in IL sold me the wrong one. It's smaller and looks to be for the 2g bov *facepalm* The UIP i bought has holes drilled in it for another bov, I wanted to know if I can just fill the holes with RTV or something so I don't lose air out through the gap between shifts. The other question is has anyone here had experience with leaks from their intake manifold? |

1g bov gasket is like a 4" long diamond shaped gasket.... http://www.dsmparts.com/customer/image. ... e=P&id=646 looks like that. Throttle body gasket is this one http://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/images/T ... akeGas.jpg and didn't you notice that the UIP wasn't flanged for the 1g bov? if you did, the mitsu dealer wouldn't have the right gasket. Are you using a bov that works with that flange on the UIP? |

I eventually got it figured out. I gotta wait for my wife to get finished with her school before I can show you guys. The Particular UIP I had bought had a flange for a 1g BOV, but some one had drilled 2 holes into it for a Type S Bov, not a 2g. So what I ended up doing was making a block off plate out of Aluminum and RTVed the plate and bolted it all together. Here's a pic of the UIP and the Ghetto gasket I manufactured.

Put RTV on the gasket and you will be fine The gasket will cover the holes It's looks like. The previus owner drilled those holes for a greedy type s |

IIRC the greddy holes are just to the outside of the relief area of the 1g BOV, so you don't need to block them off or fill them in, but I could be wrong. I think the Punishment Intercooler kit comes with both sets of holes drilled and you aren't required to fill them in. |

My uip has holes for both 1g and greddy, I switch bov's from time to time (with gaskets) and there's no leaks. Clint's right |

If you look under the 1g BOV you will see a small hole thats the bypass and I remember I had blocked it off and I would get compressor surge cause the BOV wasnt opening. The way you have that plate your gonna get compressor surge because that plate will be blocking the bypass hole. |
