BOV...What You Guys Running?

[rico05]

Just wondering what you guys are running and any review of them as well. I am considering a HKS SSQ myself. Any comments?

[GoofyATX240]

alright man will do.

[PacManVR4]

I always ran stock(in my vr4) or a blitz super sound on the later setup. One the Silvia im gonna be running a old skool HKS ss since thats what comes with it. On my VR4 peoject Im gonna run 2 Blitz super sounds.

TIAL BOV next

Well other than the Type R (which I will have no reason for getting as the spring will be way too stiff for my needs) what do you think I should get? I don't want a used BOV if I don't have to, and I would like a little twitter here and there

I have to agree with Dee on this. One of my good friends ran an HKS SS and it ended up being responsible for a MASSIVE boost leak we never could find. Changed out the upper intercooler pipe and suddenly all the car's funky problems were gone.

im running a PROF bov. i bought it from jarco.

it sounds really good. sounds a lot like the blitz super sound.

[1fast200]

TurboXS RFL , the name says it all..............

[PacManVR4]

Tial is *THE* bov to have.

[Notchbackca]

there was this HKS monster BOV on my car when I got it, the thing looks like it was made for semi's I call it the fire hydrant, you don't need a monstrous BOV, and the louder it is, the longer it takes for it to purge because you have to force it out through a smaller hole to make that noise, which means its not purging the air fast enough = bad for turbo and for performance

[biosehnsucht]

Other than stock recirculating (not blow off) valve, as far as BOVs go what is a quiet, fast operating BOV ? Quiet of course being a relative term.. I'd rather (as Notchbackca pointed out) have it to its job quickly, and on top of that the more subtle I can be the better (it'll never be truely subtle..)

[themadscientist]

The Trust Type S is very responsive. It's basically a downscale version of the Type R, very well constructed.

[float_6969]

No love for the SSQV.... I'm hurt....

[USDM_OneVia]

I thought it was impossible for the SSQV to leak. Boost keeps it shut. Only pressure alterations make it "blow-off".

Joe

[rico05]

Well, bought the SSQ. We'll see how that goes...

[float_6969]

I was thinking about that Joe. The only reason it should leak is if the seal is bad, which shouldn't happen on a new one, or if you don't have it hooked up/adjusted right, which isn't the valves fault.

[Nismo1182]

I kinda like the DSM BOV I have and I plan to keep it for a while longer, especially since its good for up to 22 psi. Its not very loud either and gets the job done.

[CA18Fastback]

SSQV here too, float. anynoe got an aluminum HKS flange they wanna get rid of? I need one ASAP.

nuff said....

i got a Turbo XS Type H currently but that piston type valve cant hold the kind of boost i want to run, i have already stretched the spring and added all the washers in the kit, and it was leaking sometimes at 14psi boost. it is rated up to i think 19psi or something.

[boost_boy]

Quote »Early Blitz supersound and Trust type R[/quote] A man that shares the flavor for serious pieces such as me. Do you have them working together? I do and the sound nasty/loud; and 20psi of boost, they both hold steadily and blow-off like with a distinctive Psheeeew type sound which is evident of two blow0ff valves. I've seen new SSQVs leak and even the turboXS thinga-majiggies as well. The old school rulez!
