Best BOV, Loudest?

[platinum240sx]

what the best and ludest BOV i love the bov sound and i want it loud lol. Also where is the best place to mount the BOV?platinum240sx

[lucky]

The best BOV is the HKS Racing Type II. It will hold more boost than any other BOV. I believe the loudest is the Blitz BOV which also performs pretty good. FWIK, the best place to mount a BOV is closest to the throttle body.

Turbo XS RFL is the loudest I know of.

[themadscientist]

old blitz supersound is the loudest I have heard. I prefer the Trust racing type over the HKS but both are quality pieces. Don't get the HKS super sequential, they spit up thier guts on a car with a serious turbo running "motivating" boostI did see a guy using and HKS S-type wastegate as a blowoff valve but he was running this death-star sized turbo.

[chrispy]

i heard that the HKS SSQV BOV was supposed to be really nice. And someone said it can also be a recirculating valve

[themadscientist]

For a light tuned car sure but the old model was plastic and I blew it apart at 1kilo on an old T3 turbo, sounded kinda cool though when it threwup. The newer model appears to be metal which should take care of one of the problems, the body of it breaking apart at the mounting flange, talk about a BLOW OFF valve! If the working parts are still that cheesy plastic though I wouldn't trust it on a seriously hopped up car. A stock SR boosted up FMIC, stuff like that it should be ok. It sounds like a tweetybird though, very gay pweeEW!It cannot recirculate, a hose will not fit over it's outlet. The Trust S-type can use a treaded insert in the barrel to hook up a hose and is very well built. You can't go wrong with Trust (Greddy) blowoffs.

Actually, you can recirculate the HKS SSQV. But you have to buy the recirculation fitting, it's only about $10.

[S13240]

Yes the HKS super sequential can be routed back into the intake by buying the recirculation fitting. And I've only heard very good things about the Super Sequential only...no negative feedback on it yet.

The loudest would be the Turbo XS Type H-RFL though!

[lucky]

I have a HKS SSQV...it is a great BOV. I haven't had any problems with it. I should have added this in my first post but you wanted to know the best and loudest BOVs.

RFL=Really F u c k ing loud.

go there for sound tracs of some of the bov's....The Greddy Type S is decent....Turbo XS makes good bov's.....HKS SS is a very very nice bov....Blitz Bov, blah to big and cumbersome for me (:) )....HKS racing bov the shizzit, but no need unless your a big dog ...Greddy type r is a very good bov, for higher boost.....sheepdog nice rare nice sounding bov.....Apexi twin bov, very good quality, nice sound.....etc etc

[I H8 UR DSM]

The best BOV is the HKS Racing Type II.

people say that one, and i also hear good things about the Turbonetics Godzilla bov's....but we're not all ready for a setup that would require that bov....we'll wait for you : D

[lucky]

Haha....he did ask for the best And my project my start VERY soon. A friend of mine is taking the supra to the bank this afternoon so they can inspect it before giving him the loan. I will start ordering parts soon after and the HKS Racing Type II will be needed

edit: I H8 - I think I've finally decided on a fuel management system. I'm almost positive that it will be Motec. I found a dealer that is about 15 miles from my house to do the install and tuning so that pretty much made up my mind for me. Now it's time to start saving.

[chrispy]

is this the good HKS ssqv or the one that everyone says falls apart?

[S13240]

I think that's the HKS Sequential bov only not the Super Sequential.

what do you think of the apexi dual chamber? i was supposed to get the RFL until someone offered a super deal on the apexi dual chamber. i could afford to get the RFL. the only reason i'd get the RFL is if it was a superior design to the dual chamber, not just the loudness. what do you guys think? if you had to pick: apexi dual chamber or turboxs RFL what would you get? hmmm :rolleyes

[lucky]

That is the older sequential BOV. The new SSQV looks like this:

[S13240]

Honestly I'd take the Apexi Twin Chamber if you had to pick that or the Turbo XS RFL, but you should really compare the Twin Chamber and the Super Sequential...they're two great competitors.

[SpeedRacer1]

ApexI DD isnt all that loud and doesnt make the pshhhhh sound. At least not on an SR, instead it makes a pshh pshh psh sound which isnt all that manly.

[chrispy]

ahh thanks lucky.

[chrispy]

also does anyone here run a blow through setup?

I'd get the Apexi...i think the RFL is kinda corny looking personally, i have a turboxs blow off valve, but not the rfl.....i think the apexi is a good product, it isnt obnoxiously loud, and i wouldnt be concerned with a 'manly' sound

[turboex]

I had the HRFL on my civic, it sounded real loud if you had over 15psi. but if any less than ten psi it was kinda weak. I sold my hsk SSQ one for it as I hated the birdy sound of the hks. I personally would recomend the greddy type-s. and that the one i plan to run on my sr20

[Samabra]

Quick question, what's a recirculating BOV? I've been hearing mentions of that, but no idea what it is. Chris

[S13240]

A recirculated bov is basically an upgraded version of your stock bypass valve in a sense. The recirculated valve just routes the air released by the bov back into the air intake. For instance like the Greddy Type S, Type R, and HKS racing(older version that looks like Greddy)...a couple more too but forgot.

[SpeedRacer1]

All BOV's are sold as atmospheric. Some of them have kits you can either buy or make that will allow you to recirculate the air again. Unfortunately the ApexI BOV releases through 4 cm diameter holes on the 4 sides of the chamber so this makes it a challenge to juryrig a recirculating hose.

[drifspecs13]

Crispy; that HKS ssqv does fall apart. One of my team members upgraded his turo on his MR2 and it really blew off, literally. We got a reak kick out of it. It does sound opreety nice though. Its good for up to 15-16 psi on t25.

[orange_guy182]

If you were going for sleeper look, like me, then a quiet one would be best right. You wouldn't want to pull up next to some one and start reving, they hear pshh and take off. Does the recirculation cut down on the noise?

[Daunttless]

recirculation basically eliminates the noise.

[SrSLeePeR]

get a 1st gen DSM BOV...They're nice and cheap.

[Structure240sx]

if u turn an atmosphric BOV into a recirculating BOV how do u route it back into the intake?
