where is the valve located?

would it hurt to do to an Eaton car? I'm planning on doing some GT pumps anyways....

I also have the hesitation running 2.2KB at 17lbs------Are you guys running your Bap all the time or off th hobs switch, I am running off the hobs switch------Scott

i removed the hobbs switch and am running it full time @ 35% as per James @ RWTD's suggestion as well as a few others.

So that's what they look like inside :blink:

yep!! hehe, I had to pound the hell out of that little shit to get it to bust!!

Is the PPRV used only on the blown cobras?

not sure if it is a cobra only thing. The only reason I had to remove it is because on quite a few KB and Whipple cars pushing 17# and above of boost there is a hesitation issue at throttle tip in after a shift following a WOT pull. I haven't seen may if any eaton cars with this problem. Maybe there are a few I don't know. Mostly like I said KB and Whipple guys. There will be no benifit for you by removing it if you indeed have one.

Sweet! I'm suprised its not raining up there, been pouring here since Monday......

I'm going to do mine soon too.. How long did it take ya?

it has been raing the last 8 days strait here. I guess it was raining in Portland (20 miles south of here) all day today. Wasn't really nice, mostly cloudy but the roads were dry. Supposed to rain the next 10 days now. Glad I got a decent afternoon to get this done. It took me about 1 1/2 hours total labor time to get the tank dropped, swap the valve for the 3/8 fitting, and put the tank back up. one major thing that helped in not making a mess, is I put the back up on ramps, started it, pulled the fuel pump fuse and let the car run on the decline angle till it died. It sucked all the fuel right out of the lines, so not a drop of fuel when I disconnected the tank from the filter. screw the whole shrader valve thing, that still leaves tons of fuel in the lines to make a mess. Over all strait forward job. The only PITA was trying to finagle the tank towards the drivers side to get the filler neck out of the tank itself. As someone stated in my other thread, make sure you feel all around the tank before lowering it to make sure the EVAP lines are out of the retaining clips. Also, as per recommendation, I undid the tank side off the fuel filter and dropped the whole line down with the tank. It's not mounted to anything else besides the pump outlet and then right to the filter. Oh yeah, most important, MAKE SURE you get as much fuel out as possible. Some told me to make sure that there was less then 1/4 tank. I ran mine down to just over the red empty mark. there was about 3 gallons left in the tank from what I could tell after filling the tank during the test drive. I'd recommend getting it ever lower if possible. It was still a bit heavy when I dropped it.
