Best recomended BOV??

[CcsEclipse97]

Ok so i am new to the DSM world and i have done a lot of reading. I have come to find out that it comes highly recomended to run a BOV that recirculates to get the most performace out of the car. My question is this: what type of BOV would you recomend to install on a 97 eclipse gsx? I would like to know what a recommended good choice is. Thanxs

The 1G DSM BOV is a very good choice. It can hold much more pressure than the stock 2G BOV, and it can be crushed to hold even more. They can be had for $30-$50 on eBay.

He's right though, if you are on a budget, the 1g BOV is a great choice. If you have some money to burn, I know the 4g63 boys like the Greddy Type-s

It was a commercial...

Ever since they stopped making the Type-S's, they'll get harder and harder to find; although, they are quite good BOVs. Their replacement, the Type-RS, has had good reviews too, though.

Quite a few 4G63 owners also have the HKS SSQ; another good choice if you have the money to spend.

The Greddy Type RS is worth considering...

They stopped making the Type-S? I didn't know that, I always thought the Type RS was just an upper model BOV above the Type-S. I guess you learn something everyday

We do like our Greddies. Recirculatable, good price, and good quality. Any BOV that matches those three criteria is a good BOV for a mostly stock car.

Ok so lets say i go with a greddy BOV. Should i get the RS or the S?

 

[No_Skillz]

They are basically the same thing. Get whatever you can get your hands on cheaper. Also remember that you have to buy a seperate fitting to recirc the RS.

 

[d3m0]

Go for the Type S !
For the same reasons they said, it can be recirculated, it's quality, and it works.

You can probably find one on eBay, just make sure it's not a knock-off.

What do u mean that if u get the RS u have to get a seperate fitting? If i get a type S do i still have to get a seperate fitting?

There are alot of knock off Greddy BOV's on there.

 

[d3m0]

I believe he means the Greddy Type RS isn't originally meant to recirculate, and you'd have to buy some sort of seperate adapter to get it to re-circulate. The Greddy Type S should just plug right up with no extra crap to buy.

I have a crushed 1st Gen with Dejon mod. I have no complaints simple and effective.

 

[ken06]

Unless you plan on venting or running a lot of boost later on I would recommend a 1g bov, the rs is nice but not worth it. Also it is dead silent recirculating, a 2g stock bov is louder.

 

[spoold]

a crushed 1g bov is the best option. Greddy's enhance sound and thats about it. With the greddy you will encounter "tuning" difficulties, and maybe even leaking if it is not tightened properly. the 1g is a no nonsense, no adjustment, boost holding way to go.

 

[knighteclipse1]

The Dejon modification on my 1st Gen has been rated at 50psi. Or so the website says. I don't think I'll ever find out though. I just did it as alittle insurance when I do start boosting big. In all, it didn't cost all that much, It doesn't give you the fancy name or the bling under the hood, but as it has been stated, it is a no nonsense BOV

 

[CcsEclipse97]

Ok id really not like to go with the 1G to me its just not worth it. Basically what it comes down to is i want a BOV that recirculates and has a loud blow off sound. im not going to try and keep it quiet i dont care about hi boost pressure. i just want a nice BOV that recirculates and has a nice sound.

Do this:

Buy a TurboXS RFL BOV, and vent it to the atmosphere. When you're finally tired of performance issues, car stalling, the obnoxious ass noise, and BOVs in general, then you can go get a 1g BOV and be satisfied.

Do you have any other mods? You could definately save yourself anywhere from $80-$150 by just buying the 1g BOV. Then go buy an intake, MBC, plugs/wires, etc.

EDIT: when you do recirculate, for more sound...go with a hard pipe intake and use a hard recirc tube instead of the rubber one. The 1g BOV sounds nice. But it's your call.

Funniest damn thing I've read all day! In all seriousness, I agree with everyone who recommended a 1G BOV. Crushed, mine held in excess of 26psi. Interestingly enough, when you run boost pressures that high it actually sounds like an SSQV.

 

[larsenracing]

I love my HKS SSQV and by all meant would never get rid of it and i would defiantly buy another. I agree the 1g works well and is capable of holding a quite a bit of boost how ever if you are to go with the Greddy don't get the Type-S because you can get the 1g to hold more boost before it starts to leak so i guess i am saying id go with the SSQV then either the Greddy Type-RS or stock 1g. But like mentioned above if you go with the 1g you will save your self at least $125. As andymoraitis said he had his hold 26PSI thats a lot and i wouldn't really recommend using a 1g if you plan on going any where near that far into the pressure. good luck and they are all pretty good BOV.

I think we all understand what your wanting, but you should really listen to those of us who have gone down this road before you, the 1st Gen BOV is just fine in all respects, and I don't mean just money wise. You should really listen to the wiseman here, there is a real reason he is called a wiseman.

ok so if i do decide to go with the 1G BOV am i still going to have a BOV noise or is it going to be like the stock one that is in the 2G because thoes dont make noise at all.

 

[Blk95gs]

My 1g BOV recirculated with a rubber hose into an Injen intake with hard IC piping makes noise, but it's hard to hear over the 3" turboback. All of my friends (DSMers or not) say it sounds awesome outside of the car. It reminds me of the Greddy Type-S only muffled when it's recirculated, but that's just me.

Odd... My car is completely stock and my BOV is loud enough to turn heads when I shift driving by parking lots.
