09 BPV solenoid removal.
 

I can run the stock BPV directly from the IM and cap the charge pipe vacuum line; correct?

No need for the electric solenoid?

No one?
Or do I have to ask about painting my brakes or what color plastidip to get views?

Wouldnt you get a code if you dont have the electric solenoid? I wish i could help but i dont know the answer lol

Ya you can run it right off the manifold no problem. You'll either have to leave the solinoid itself electrically plugged in or have the code removed through the tune or it will throw a light. Won't effect anything tho.

yeah I don't think it does once I disconnected the solenoid and forgot to reconnect it, I got the code but I never really noticed a difference in performance. but I didn't really know it will affect anything in the long run

I understand what is being done, But I don't know the purpose of it.

If someone doesn't mind explaining I would like to know why someone would do this? What is the benefit of doing this?

I only didnt it to run a bov my my turbo kit. Solinoid didnt open fast enough. Other than that I dunno why someone would remove it.

u can run it from the intake manifold port, but not from the lower charge pipe port, that one only sees boost not vacuum, which u need to open the bpv. if u do go straight from the intake manifold, u will have to put a hose on the solenoid from the bpv port to the bottom port on the solenoid, if u just leave the bpv port open when u switch gears or whatever, ull have a vacuum leak at that port, and while in boost, u will have a boost leak at that port, the way the solenoid works is when ur in boost, the top port on the solenoid that is connected to lower cp is open pushing boost on the bpv holding it closed, when u shift or whatever, that port closes and the bottom one opens providing vacuum to the bpv, opening it. that should help you. if u have a zzp lower pipe u can just remove the vacuum nipple and put a plug in, then u can just completely remove all vac lines from solenoid and just plug the bpv straight into intake manifold and nothing else.

I had same issue, but just going straight to im, didn't help, the problem is the spring in the bov is too stiff. I put a lighter spring, it was better but not enough, so I ran both bpv and bov, that worked, thinking about it, what would work the best is putting a really light spring, like a 4 psi or something into the bov, then running off the solenoid, otherwise if ud run off the im manifold with a light spring like that the bov is open at idle.

and regardless what u do, leave the electrical connection on the solenoid plugged in

If he's tuned he can just unplug it and delete the code. Thats what I did.

Or that. I don't like deleting codes, wish u could just turn things off. Like rear O2 , I can delete the code cause when it gets full of moisture it pops, but even so car will still start funny. So I just leave em. Not that it would happen with that.

You just drive with a check engine light? How do you know when something is actually wrong?

You could scan it every other day

lol, i guess you could...

Lol annoying but you could

to much work for me :P ill delete the codes, haha

:lol: i would too

I don't delete the codes, when it pops, I fix it.

When what pops. The cat? The solinoid? I'm confused

o2 sensor code. lol u gotta read my post where im talking about why I don't like to delete codes in the tune. I think u misunderstood and thought I ment when the engine light comes on I don't delete the code, I ment I don't like deleting the codes from the tune. like rear o2, cause if there is a problem u will still get symptoms but no code, so u wont know whats wrong.

oooh, i see, i dont delete the o2 sensor codes, just the cat efficiency code

Thanks guys.
I'll delete the code. I just wanted to make sure the BPV could do it.
