BOV SOUND??

[jesse0357]

this may be a stupid question, ive looked around trying to figure it out. in this video is it the bov thats making the dual blow off sound or what? i would love for my rb20 to sound like that!
whats the set up that makes it do that, is it just a surge or fluter? i hear it on alot of supras or big hp cars.
let me know thanks

:P lol j/k it's prob compressor surge your hearing. Just don't use a BOV and you can hear it every time you close the throttle.

[jesse0357]

my bov went out a while ago and sounded nothing like that, thats why i was just wondering if it was a certain set up, it doesnt really sound like surge to me. it doesnt even fluter its consistant unlike when you dont use a bov. idk your probably right tho.

Haha I was wondering the same thing actually a long time ago...every Supra you see in videos seems to have that same sound...hmmm

[jesse0357]

right!!! theres a video somewhere on youtube of a bmw that sounds like that its like 600+ hp though ill have to find it.

[outlaw7]

every car that ive heard that has an HKS SSQV BOV sounds exactly like that

[jesse0357]

heres a few videos for enjoyment

second one is funny!!

[jesse0357]

so it is the bov then??
everytime i hear it the car does have a HKS bov but i thought the ssqv was like a really high pitch whistle?

[jesse0357]

outlaw7 -your right the HKS SSQV BOV has a dual piston set up that makes it do that..
ill be buying one tonight!!! jk but ive seen videos on a rb25 that it just makes a little high pitch sound so im not sure maybe it has stiff springs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HblCEQXQ8Q4<--now this is on a WRX with unknown boost and only revving at idle, but I don't know if it could turn into the sound in question...

[jesse0357]

id say thats stock boost 7-12 lbs, could be wrong. im running around 14 right now, ive been having some cooling issues though not to sure whats going on its not over heating just running around 220 when im on it pretty hard. any thoughts on that?

Using electric fans in the Desert on the RB? I never had good luck with them on mine. I had the dual felxa lite pullers on my RB20 and the temp still climbed up no matter what when I started driving or was on the dyno. Switching over to the fan clutch was the best thing since sliced bread for my RB.

[jesse0357]

the only thing that sucks about the HKS is the flang id have to get/make a new set up im runnin the greedy type s right now.

[LSDrift]

OP - Hah, no that's a whole other bag of cats. Plenty of threads on here about it though.

This is not a BOV centered video but it is super sweet and has some crazy turbine chatter afterwards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_qCd6Lx7pE

[jesse0357]

yeah ive read a few.
i think i might just have to try out the hks its cheap like $30-40 ill have to keep you posted it may end up in the trash who knows lol.

yeah im using 2 12" fans right now they dont really help to much, driving down the road they actually make it worse i think the restric the air flow, id love to use clutch fan but i have zip for room in my s13 i have like 2-1/2 in between my pullys and my radiator. last month i blew a heater core hose on the dyno because it ran so hot.. what a mess coolant everywhere i felt so stupid lol

[Yellow4g63]

Look in the RB section, they have people who run them on S13's. Very good bang for the mod.

true i just love that sound though. (not the high pitch the dual piston sound)

ive seen ppl that cut the front core support and push the radiator forward to get the clutch fan on there, not sure id want to do it that way but ill have to give it a look i havent really looking into that i hate clutch fan honestly there so loud! but cool wonderful lol

[Yellow4g63]

If you don't cut it then you get a different raditator and put it under the core support or shave the fan. I'm a function over form kinda guy so I cut my support. On the dyno pull after pull the highest my temps get too are 180ish and then while the car idles it starts to fall back to the 170ish.

[jesse0357]

well looks like ill be pulling out the air tools and cutting away, kinda scares me though.
anyway you can post or send me some pics of your set up so i can get an idea from how you did it. im the kinda guy who likes to see things before i do it, im very capable of doing it just scares me lol. ill need to do something specially when i hit the track for the first time with this car in about a month.

I have a S14 it's a little different than the S13.

[jesse0357]

yeah that wont help me to much lol. i was just out looking at my set up if i had an inch i could get the fan on there. if the center of the fan wasnt so deep and was more flush with the metal center piece it would fit perfect! im trying to think of a way to make it work with out cutting the core support.

[jesse0357]

wow i just did it! im sure someone has had to do what i just did it was way to simple i just pulled the 4 bolt that hold the fan blade to the metal center, and instead of it bolting to the front of it its now bolted to the back and BAM! clearence issue solver i have about 1/4-1/2 in of space between my fan and radiator. i may have to trim the blades to clean my power sterring belt we'll have to see when i actually bolt it back on i just mocked it up to see if it would clear. so far so good tho!.

[jesse0357]

quick update i will have to remove the radiator to get it on there but everything else should be okay "SHOULD" being the key word.

[Yellow4g63]

Did you find the thread for the Fan clutch how too's? Mine is the same but I have a shroud on mine so I have to take it the Koyo and the fan off at the same time.

[jesse0357]

i did find it but nothing to helpful. i just decided to go look at it and see what i could do with it and thats what i cam up with. i don't have a shroud and I'm not sure if i could put one on, i could probably find one pretty cheap to try. I'm hoping it will still cool better then the 2 electric fans.
