BVSV for MK II (1986 Supra)
 
I just broke mine.

It this something I truely need for the car.

I bypass it.

If I do need it, where do I find one?

Thank you.

While Toyota's pricing on the device reflects an AMAZING amount of pride they hold for it it really is a simple and common device. Hit a local salvage yard and check under the hood of any pre-1990 Toyota (Celicas and Camrys should be quite easy to find and plunder) and grab a couple for a total of $5. They should all be the same size, but take yours to compare while you're there. When you get them home connect a small piece of hose and try to blow through... it shouldn't. Put it in some boiling water for a minute and try to blow through again... should blow through fine. Naturally take the tube off before heating the BVSV so you don't burn your lips.... can't believe I feel I need to add that disclaimer. :p

I wouldn't just open it to the intake outright and I definitely recommend against blocking it off. There are other ways of controlling it but they involve more effort than you really need to put into it.

not worth the money toyota wants for it. think i had a camry one on mine. auto wreckers and salvage yards for the win.

The only ones I found were broken of tips.
 
Does anyone have tried or successfull repair one of these.

Please respond. My car is acting up when I start it.

I read some place the you can repair your own BVSV
 
I got some aluminum tube like female thread fasteners. Perfect size for the hoses. I am going to cut them and JB weld them to my BVSV.

It is worth the try.

I will let you know the success or failure in a couple of days.

its probly not worth the work to be honest.
i think i got mine for under 5$ at the local salvage yard. jb weld cost more...
