In your guys opnions, what is the a good BOV u can get , that isnt rape me in the ass expenisve but still do the trick and still has a nice sound to it, cuase tehre is all kinds on ebay from cheap POS to 300 bov's

Re: BOV?
 

ive heard good things about 1g dsm bovs, there is some sound clips somewher the net with civics/1g dsm bovs they sound descent

Re: BOV?
 

the greddy type s knockoff......if I didn't already have a real one I'd be all over it

Re: BOV?
 

yeah, i've read that too

Re: BOV?
 

you can get a 1g dsm bov for under $50 shipped, I recently bought one off of dsm trader for $25 shipped. they are all metal and sound great. they will most likely hold all the boost you plan to throw at it. And it wont break your bank. Dont spend twice as much or more on some fancy name one when all it does is release pressure. Go overboard on fuel manegement or something really usefull.

i got my supra bypass valve for 5 bucks

Re: BOV?
 

HKS ssq, greddy type s, turbo xs RFL (gets annoying though), i have a GFB from austrailla and it works great

Re: BOV?
 

i have a greddy type r

Re: BOV?
 

Cheap ebay one with a 25 cent spring that lighter then the one it came with. nice wooosh sound

Re: BOV?
 

i bought a turbo xs rfl knock off on ebay, no complaints. the dsm bov are cheaper though.

Re: BOV?
 

rfl = Real ------- Loud (and annoying)

Re: BOV?
 

eh, just get whatevers cheap.

Re: BOV?
 

Hey check out this site for some sound clips: www.blowoffvalves.com

I personally love the way the HKS SSQV sounds, but spending $200.00 bucks for a BOV is not in the budget right now.

Definitly go for the DSM one, it sounds good, is tried and true, and cheap as hell ;)

Re: BOV?
 

why is everyone saying the rfl is annoying, i loved mine

Re: BOV?
 

They're loud as hell for a daily driver aren't they?

Re: BOV?
 

sound sclips of the greddy type-s are hot

Re: BOV?
 

someone gave me a dsm gen 2 bov and I think it sounds fine, I know someone that has the HSK one on his Gen 1 talon and it goes off EVERYYYYYYYY time he lets off the gas even he's BARELY touching the gas, VERY annouying for a daily driver. IMO

Re: BOV?
 

I got my "new" type S for $100 shipped.

I have a ebay BOv for sale for $30 shipped if ya want it

Re: BOV?
 

if you want a quiet bov, dont get one, but i was never annoyed by mine

Re: BOV?
 

yeah, but you can rev a dsm and it will blow off, cant do it with a honda

blitz super sound, nice whoosh, not to loud either.

BTW, loud BOV's are for RICERS

Re: BOV?
 

this is not true.
duct taping a cazoo or a duck call to your bov is for ricers, or thoes cool ball bearing whistly things from little arcades.
i like to be able to hear my bov very well, its not a ricer thing

Re: BOV?
 

im thinkin bout getin an rfl

Re: BOV?
 

do people really do that ----?

Re: BOV?
 

i have an extra bosh i will sell for $18 shipped priority. they are good if you seal everything with silicone. junkyard style is the only way to go. :)

Re: BOV?
 

i just got my dsm 2gen crushed on, and it just sounds like my turbo downspooling. it sounds off when i let off, but when im expecting the pshh, all i hear is the turbo spooling down.

when i was installing the bov, there was alot of oil that came out of the port where the manifold vacuum is suppost to go.

Re: BOV?
 

on low budget setups. I use this one:

OF course it's a thaiwanese knock off, and the spring is always too tight so it needs to be cut but with that done, it performs very well, is MUCH easier than a DSM bov to install, it is adjusteable and at least, it is brand new and still very cheap.

Re: BOV?
 

How much for that BOV? I had a question too about BOVs. I see some are adjustable and some aren't. I really have no idea how to adjust them for my psi or at all for that matter. Anyone give me a quick crash course please? I was looking at the Bosch since it's cheap and no welding. Just use a T coupler and hose clamp it. Sound savvy?

Re: BOV?

Re: BOV?
 

just so you know, 2nd gen bov's are plastic, so if you got a crushed one you bought a pile of ----

Re: BOV?
 

Yeah, actually, it's installs the same as a bosch and it has the same flow as the bov, with, of course, a much better looks and sound.

We sell that BOV 80$ on the website http://www.blaastperformance.com/index.php?p=bov-stage1

But for HMT users, we can make it 75$ SHIPPED.

Of course, we also have the bosch one that is even cheaper http://www.blaastperformance.com/index.php?p=bov-bosch

Re: BOV?
 

if you even bought a second gen, then you bought a piece of ----

Re: BOV?
 

i have this, and the spring is uber stiff. i tried cutting a couple coils, and it still surges

Re: BOV?
 

Anyone have more info on this?

Re: BOV?
 

the best BOV out there period is the 2nd gen Mr2 BOV, it responds the fastest. dual diaphram, responds to changes in manifold pressure, not vacumn itself, i can actually make the bov go off while boosting by playing with the throttle. its fuckign sweet. its pretty loud, you could make it louder by blocking off some of the passage to get a louder sound. The HKS SSQ is a copy of this BOV.

O and did I mention this baby doesn't open at idle?

best bov ever in my opinion.

Re: BOV?
 

YES, the SPRING IS TOO TIGHT.

I always cut a few coils on them prior to install.

However, on MAF equipped cars, that tight spring is the solution to idle problems.

Re: BOV?
 

Dude said he cut a few coils on the spring and it's still too tight?

Re: BOV?
 

quite possible. Cutting the spring is an adjustment. You can cut too much, or too little.
If it'S still too stiff, he has to cut more. after that, The whole cap of the BOV can be screwed in or out for fine tuning anyways. If you cut too much, then you can always add a few washers to make it stiff again.
