What B.O.V. do you have?

[Wykid 240]

What B.O.V. do you have and why? I'm looking to getting one and it's jump between the HKS SSQ or the Blitz. . . please. . . I need your help. .

Thanks,Jeramy

[Bluefire]

the hks and blitz are pretty much the most reliable ones out there,

[USsil80]

apexi peice... it is very nice.... but since you don't have it list i want go into detail..... let me know if you do want .... i have head of and seen 2 hks pieaces leaking out of the flange...

[biglipzit]

I got the hks ssqv, VERY VERY LOUD. I use to have 2 on my car and had to remove 1 because it use to just blow off way to loud. Now it is still extremely loud but tollerable. The sound is really nice. Flutters with low boost and screams at high boost. No other bov sounds close to this one and with the duel gates and diaphrams it will hold boost most reliably. HKS SSQV all the way!

[Slo_240sx]

I have a Blitz and its freakin loud. Medium and low boost it flutters like crazy and high boost it makes a big whooshh and them flutters afterwards. Great investment, but alot of people are against venting to Atmos.-Alex

[Nameless EJ6]

I want to give the newish Greddy RS a try.. it's not too spendy and it looks cool.

If not, then HKS.

[Slo_240sx]

I heard that thing is suppose to be pretty sweet my friend was thinking about getting it. Its only about 160-170.

Are you sure thats not comp surge your hearing as flutter?

[SeVa-S13]

I'm running the stock 20 recirc valve and I don't even think it works! (Been running it like this for a long time, it just flutters quietly instead blowing off. weeeee =\

[biglipzit]

If it is recirculating then of course ur not going to hear it loud at all. The flutter caused by the blitz and hks at low boost is caused by partial opening of the valve when the pressure isnt enough to force it open fully so the air kind of slips out slower and causes the diaphram to flutter. Sounds cool.

[Slo_240sx]

thats what I first thought... but then I had a friend look at it and said its all BOV and the flutter. I'll try to get a sound clip.-Alex

[hashiriya13]

I am running the Blitz on my 20 and I like the loud deep whoosh that it generates. But about the flutter I rarely ever get any. Once in a while with very slow easy driving. How far did you adjust the valve in? Anyway I like it. I also have the the Greddy Type s on my 25 (recurculated) to keep it quiet but you still here it. I would have to say I like the blitz a little more better sound dont get the little whistle sound or what ever you would call it.

[blk90s13]

had the blitz on my sr and now i got it on my rb as well

sounds diff than any other bov out there and it does flutter under low pressure

[BoostFab]

i ordered the greddy type-r, it allow you to do open-air or recirculated---it handle high boost better than the ones mentioned above.

Tell me about the Apexi one there sir. . .

[StricNyne]

i got a sard r2d2 its recirc though, i enjoy the sleeper look

[lucky7]

my mechanic claims the best bov is the tial. im going with a tial.

[Slo_240sx]

Tial? All blow off valves do the same thing its the way they vent that differentiates them. Theres really no difference when it comes to tial, HKS, Blitz. Its all in your venting sound preferences. A blow off valves isn't something you hve to be to picky on its not going to increase horsepower. All it does it keep the turbo spooled when you shift. BOVs are just things to make you look "Cool".

BTW... where in Oakland county do you live? I live in Walled Lake, got any pics?-Alex

[420_240]

Are any of you guys having problems running your BOV w/o being recirculated?

[lucky7]

well, i am fully aware of all these things. i've read stories of different Bov's leaking. im sure you are familiar with andy at autowerks? afterall, you know the godspeed guys. andy tunes on their dyno from what i understand. anyhow, he suggested the Tial to me. he claims its the highest quality piece he has used and that he uses it on 100% of the cars he builds turbo kits for. i have come to rely on him for good, accurate information. the HKS is a tad too common for me. my buddy has them on his Z32. he loves em, no problems with them. another buddy has a HFL on his 2G GST. again, no problems or complaints. i guess what i am getting at is the part about it being a quality part, that isnt mentioned too often. thats all.

i live in oakland township. 7 miles north of downtown rochester.

this is the best picture i have. the car is at the shop. engine has been ripped out, and new one is sitting there waiting to be put in.

im hoping by august it will be on the road and running. i just need the bullshat miscelanious stuff. IE FMIC, exhaust, etc.

Tail would be a good BOV if you had a standalone. If you don't you should recirc the air back, Your car will like you for it.

[lucky7]

well, ive considered this. even though you cant recirc the TIAL, the car will only be driven for a few short months. then its back to the shop for a turbo upgrade. im looking to make around 400Whp. going with a standalone at that point. good looking out though.

[chad_KAT]

TurboSmart Dual Port BOV is nice becasue you can recirc and vent a little for better tuning.

[Wykid 240]

I want the flutter sound at low boost. . . so now I need to pick between the HKS or the Blitz. . .for the people that have them, do you like them and why? Thanks. . . .

-Jeramy

[Slo_240sx]

Yeah I know of Andy, I heard he does good work but not so much his shop. I'm pretty sure he has Dan tune all of his cars. Tials are good units most def I'm just saying when it comes down to BOV's most of them do the same thing they just sound different. Its kinda like saying Konig wheels are better than Volks, just comes down to personal preference. Hit me up when they get that car done of yours. Mine runs it'll be on the road in 3 weeks.

[lucky7]

i am pretty confident in the work they do. andy put a B16 into my civic about 2 years ago. no mechanic errors to date! they take care of me pretty well. andy and his 525 horse power accord just make me laugh when i see the car. again, i am pretty confident everything will go relatively smoothly. you ever see the R33 GTR they had?oh, and i want to see this beast of yours when you get it finished!

[Slo_240sx]

that thing it nuts! Can't hook worth a shizzle its a strictly highway car lol. I go out to the scooby meet by Emagine have you ever gone? I haven't been there this season yet though and I don't even know if its going on yet. He pulled up a couple of times in the accord and with some of his buddies. A white turbo integra and and a K20 EK Civic. All of them nice vehicles.-Alex

[Carl H]

ive got the ultra rediculous hks race bov for my car, havent installed it yet but i hear its insane when it vents.

was that Ek a green hatch??

never gone to the scooby meet never heard of it actually. but do you, or have you ever gone to the redline meet?

[Slo_240sx]

yeah it was a Green Hatch. Yeah ive been to redline but once once this year because my car isn't done yet. I've been there alot before with my Yellow CRX you probably seen before. Hit me up on AIM: Da DvS AzN so we don't go off topic on this thread.
