What Blow-Off Valve should I get

[SpoolN]

I am going to be buying a BOV this week for my Eclipse GSX, I have an automatic. I was thinking about the Apexi Twin Chamber. I wanted to know what u all think about it and if u have any other suggestions for another BOV
thanks

Since hyou have no other mods, the most cost effective would be 1G bov.

Someone told me that the Apexi is too tall to fit under the hood with some UICPs without modification. I can't swear to it, but I have been told that. The 1G BOV is an excellent choice.

go for the RFL... scare the sh*t out of innocent bystanders (or sitterdowners) plus, when ever a ricer pulls up next to you, it'll drown out their fart pipe ... or the 1G is good too

1g, you can get them cheap & it is way more effective than that plastic piece of garbage that is on there now. i just posted a review of the dave brode 2g uicp with a 1g bov on my 99.9% stock 97 gs-t. check it out.

im going with the tial bov, its one of if not the best one on the market and im just going to do it right the first time

 

[90GSX]

Tial or HKS

 

[doug]

I read somewhere that the Tial BOV is too stiff for our application. Can anybody confirm this?

the greddy type-s reciculated is a good choice. i run it and i know a bunch of people that do too and they love it.

Haha thats some funny sh**:laugh: :laugh:

 

[steve12345]

I would go with the TurboXS Type-H, thats what I have works and sounds sweet...I think they make the elbow adapter for the 2g making it very simple to install

1G for the price/performance ratio.

 

[SpoolN]

The Apexi does fit under our hoods my friend has one in his gst. I was also thinking about the HKS sequential what do u all think about that. I am also gettin a new intake i dont know what one to get for that any help would be appricatied. I want a Blow off that can be easily installed without a lot of modification.

 

[HyperGSX]

HKS SSQ or GReddy Type S

 

[GST-97]

I have an HKS SSQV and a friend has an RFL. I wanted the RFL until I heard it. It makes a whoosh sound. Mine makes a higher pitched sound that can be heard so much better. It's more distinct and I've never once had a problem venting to the atmosphere, where as my friends RFL hurt his fuel mileage pretty well. Go HKS! I found one for $209. I'll never dream about the RFL again. However I tend to have to "arrange myself" constantly when I hear my BOV scream.

 

[jdmawd]

be warned the RFL is exactly that it sounds nasty around 20 psi

dont expect no "whoosh" noise when it shift though, because its auto

 

[jonnyblanx]

does a stock 1g auto talon have a blow off valve? or do you have to get one

Thats exactly right...if you think ur gonna here a woosh sound...forget it since u have an Auto...U'll hear it a little when the car is shifting gears but no where near the sound of a manual...The only time I hear mine go off is when i'm building allot of boost and then suddenly take my foot off the gas...I hear it then

Yes, all turbo DSMs have blow-off valves. In fact, the 1Gs are much better than the 2Gs. It's just on the cams, injectors, and turbo that the 1G autos got screwed.

 

[SpoolN]

I know when I am going to be able to hear it this is not the only reason why I am gettin one I am planning on Upgrading my turbo to a 18g and also many other things so I am just gettin the BOV out of the way. So u think I should go with the HKS Sequential

 

[doug]

I've heard a lot of good things about that one. No personal experience, though.
