BOV Sound clips

Post by **gsrboy** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

Thought it'd be beneficial if anyone had any sound clips of BOV's so any potential buyers could hear em...at least I could use it

Not trying to jump on you, if you want to hear them more power to you.

but the style/design of the bov affects sound, not the name on the bov.

edit: meaning if all you are hearing is sound clips all you can really go by is the name of the bov.

No no, I wanted to shoot back asap b/c I just didn't want people to get a first impression that I'm someone who would rather have form over function (aka ricer)...since I'm pretty damn new here and all

-and btw I've been a honda/fwd drive guy for a while so excuse any stupid questions I ask or w/e

well my first and only impression is that you are a ricer. You ask about sound over performance. then you add a "oh btw" im a honda guy...which only proves my point even further.

So here's a friendly little tip since you are new here....Please USE the red button on the top right of your screen. If you can't find it...well it looks like this:

You find newbie haters everywhere you go. He asked a valid question, I think its very valid to ask what something is going to sound like before you put it on your car. Would you buy some subs if you had no idea what they sounded like? No you'd want to know what they sound like first.

Yes a BOV is performance, but it is also sound, and as far as performance goes, as long as you buy a BOV that is approriate for your application, like I wouldn't put a greddy Type R on a stock turbo, and neither would I put a Greddy Type S on my 20G. But as long as your application specific, its really a choice of brandname and sound.

Back off and let people learn by asking questions. I left Maxima.org for exactly that reason. The "elite members" decided that they were to cool to awnser peoples questions, and so the board sucked. As long as I'm here I will continue to awnser any question I know the awnser to. Chris

What he said. I'm finding these boards to be extremely elitest. Of course it's like that wherever car forum you go, some worse then others.

Whoh, another person from maxima.org? Blah I left once the put OT on hold unless you paid and all that stuffs. Plus the whole cannot connect because sever is to full BS. Anyways back on topic.

When you lisen to the soudn clips if you ever get to keep in mind that the sound will vary car to car. Me and my friend with a 1g Talon both have the Type S BOV, and our cars sounds compeltly different even though we both have 16 vavles, twin cam 2 liter. So you would be better off picking one just from hearing it in person. Or gut feeling. Most people are happy with the Type S and Type R when you get to a larger turbo. Other like the SSQ, but I dont like the sound it makes.

Theres a few more, I'll post some more later when im not so lazy, lol.

Post by **gsrboy** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

how the **** does me saying I'm a honda guy qualify me as a ricer......go to honda-tech.com and call all of them ricers, since they are honda guys they MUST be ricers according to you.....good job making me feel welcome on this board...

MAtt

And btw....I've currently got a pretty well built GSR that runs in the 13's......but oh yeah....I forgot....since its a honda its rice

Post by **gsrboy** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

oh and here to make you happy swift...What BOV PERFORMS the best

Post by **Samabra** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

Like I said above it is my firm belief that is is basically like comparing apples and oranges, there is no best choice. As long as you don't select one thats to big for your turbo you'll be fine. Find one you like Chris

Post by **theronin** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

have it routed to recirc...then the sound will be minimal! Voila you arent a ricer cause it is actually better for your engine!

Post by **nrcooled** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

BOV will sound different depending on the application. Personally I loved the sound the my Blitz SS made but I couldn't stand the constant stalling and leaking. I guess that would be a nonfactor on your GSR (MAP sensor). The Blitz made more of a whip cracking sound "whoopsssshhhh" :loud:

Now I have the HKS SQV (not the high speed SSQV) I like the subtleness of the sound not very loud but still noticable. The HKS makes a more standard BOV "pssshhh" noise

Website · Post by **badass240sx** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

I've got the Blitz SS, no stalling problems at all and im running the stock ECU. Yeah, when venting to the atmosphere you are releasing air which the ECU had already read therfore providing the proper amount of fuel, since the air isnt there to burn/combust it, you run slightly rich between shifts and from time to time shifting in in lower rpm's you'll backfire. This all varies from setup to setup, as different tuning will yeild different results. Theres several methods to fix the problem; most commonly using an APEXi S-AFC which has an option for venting to the atmosphere. You can also place the BOV before the MAFS so it will release the air prior to it being read. I personally don't have any complaints about the Blitz SS, it doesn't leak on me nor has my car ever once stalled. Hope that helps

Post by **gsrboy** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

yeah that does...so it can be tuned out w/out the extra comp.? or do you need an additional comp...like the S-AFC (whew i was about to say V-AFC lol) to tune it out?

so he is a ricer because he wants a nice sounding BOV or because he owns a honda?

eithre way your reasoning is stupid. just because someone owns a honda dosent mean they are a riceboy. and in fact i DARE you to go on honda-tech and try to start ****.

and 90% of bov's do the same job efficently, everything from the bosch 40$ BOV up to a HKS race bov will practically perform the same under low/moderate boost. the only diffrence is the sound.

and not everyone in the honda community is a riceboy jackass.

I owned a honda for a long time and hate it when people stereotype.

Post by **hokiruu** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

I got a Apex Twin Chamber off an FD RX7. This was one of my last choices for BOV, but I needed one and I got it for $100, so I'm going to give it a try. Absolutely no way to recirculate though, bummer. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS WHERE TO ATTACH THE OTHER END OF THE VACUUM LINE ON S14SR. THERE ARE TWO VACUUM FITTINGS FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD UNDER THE THROTTLE BODY, ONE LARGE, ONE SMALL. DOES IT GO ON THE SMALL ONE?

I am sorry if this comes off as attacking you, but i really feel someone needs to ask the question. You have a GSR in the 13's, and you dont understand why venting air would make a car stumble?

again not an attack.. it simply doesnt make sense to me.

ahaha lmao thanks cyber. im glad someone else can read between the lines of lies that people type when they always try to prove how worthy they are since they previously had a "fast" honda.

Post by **gsrboy** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

as stated I couldn't remember off of the top of my head.....I dont think I'm all that dumb coming from a N/A honda...I don't expect to know everything about turbo cars and their ecu's etc....and swift...I don't feel the need to prove anything to you...your acceptance means nothing to me..

and yes...my car is N/A

MAtt

and another thing...if you think I'm lying about my car...you're wrong...if I really wanted to lie I'd say I had a 12 or 11 sec. gsr.....a 13-sec. slip isn't all that fast but pretty respectable in the honda camp...and I still own the damn honda

Post by **gsrboy** » Sat Jun 28, 2003 7:45 pm

and also I did get the correct general idea w/ saying "the ecu tries to compensate for the lost air"

But I've had a change of heart....I'm new here...I dont want to start off making enemies....I realize what the original post seemed like to others reading it like you swift, which was not the intention....you all will have to excuse my stupid questions as I start the steep learning process....I'll try and search more to find answers before I ask questions...but I know I'll ask some seemingly dumb things to you guys along the road...but jut try and bear w/ me and remember that not everyone was born knowing it all...hope this clears things up..

Thanks, MAtt

I would most certainly agree with you......but thats not in any way shape or form a valid reason to stereotype all honda owners as ricers....
