Ok, the dilemna is that i want a loud arse BOV like the HKS ss i heard on an Mpeg, but i also want it to recirculate cause im pretty sure my car will run wayyyy to rich if i went it to the atomosphere. so, what kind of BOV is gonna give me loud ass/tight bov sounds without having to vent to the atmosphere?

on a side note, if i do vent to the atmosphere, i would have to redo the mas right?
 
I recirculated my Blitz bov and it was pretty loud with the stock piping. I just made one one of the attachments into a recirculation tube. Worked like a charm and the car was fine. I am selling it now because, I just got a really good deal on a Greddy type-s with the Greddy hard pipe kit. Anyone interested in buying a Blitz DD bov w/ 2g install kit PM me. It is modified to recirculate. This is the newer version, not the one with the trumpet looking horn.
 
im buying a used greddy type s this weekend. is there a way to attach it without having to weld it on? i still have stock pipes. also, should i recirculate it? does anyone have sound clips of a type s recirculated? how much does a recirculation kit cost? or can i use the stock bov recirculation pipe?

thanks
 
I have to say that I don't know what anyone is talking about as far as quiet BOV's

I wonder if the difference in what people are hearing is in whether you have a sunroof or not?

I (and everyone else) can hear my stock 2g bov just fine with just a filter and hacked dumptube, and that one is a POS as we all know.

I have a sun roof though.
:confused:

i drive a 1g, all i have done to it in that area is the aircan hacked, and the silencer removed, and i can hear the stock BOV just about everytime when i have my windows down, and even still faintly when theyre up. my girlfriend says sometimes she hears me coming when driving to her house cause im usually just shifting outta second when coming around her corner.
 
My 1g is pretty noticeable with the heater not on full and no stereo on since I put on gm maf setup.I still have soft intake and upper intercooler pipe but those are supposed to make it louder yet.I think the stock 1g sounds like a mouse squeak personally.Buddy suburu sounds like a squirrel!!

I listened to a few sound files and thought the turbo xs did sound pretty good.I am just deciding if shoud go blow thru with my maf and then can put in non vented blow off or stay draw thru and just get that 34 one.

I don't really care how loud mine is but going vented cleans up the compartment a bit by getting rid of one extra tube that can blow off,crack up etc.
 
I currently have a turbo xs rfl bov and i vented to the atmospher and TRUST ME its really loud almost too loud, but even with the washer plates installed(so I could vent) I was receiving something like mini fuel cuts.with all that said and done I decided to vent back in and boy it was still loud, then I cut the inner bov tube inside the actual air intake(acordian) tube wich made it even louder , so if you want loud go to turbo xs web site I think the have the sound clips,oh and ps the rfl reaches its boost limit at like 45psi.

1. You can't recirc a RFL without a major hack-job fabrication, or cutting off the horn.
2. It doesn't recirculate, so it does not belong in this thread.
3. TurboXS BOV/CBVs are garbage...metal on metal sealing and "adapter kits" that screw on are leaks waiting to happen.
 
Stock 1G BOV on my bone stock DSM: Silent

Stock 1G BOV on DSM with ABS intake and K&N: Much more noticable, can hear pretty noticably outside

GReddy Type-S on same setup: At least twice as loud

Stock 1G BOV on MKIII Supra recirc'd with ABS intake and K&N filter on stock boost (7psi): Much louder than on the DSM with same mods

HKS SQV recirc'd on same setup with FMIC/IC piping: Loudest of all.

Anyone who tells you the HKS SQV is quiet recirc'd is an idiot and hasnt heard it themselves in person. I would be more than happy to demonstrate and prove wrong ;)
 
for everyone that has a type-s, do you have the lower nipple vented to atmosphere, plugged, or T'ed into the ic/boost-controller/wastegate line?:confused: mine is T'ed into the line, and my bov doesn't sound that loud. My brother has his lower nipple vented to atmostphere, and his bov discharge sounds a lot louder. WTF!
 
I have a 1G crushed bov, and its pretty loud inside, can definitely hear it, and my friend said he could hear it when he was outside about 25ft away....but I dont think cars next to me can hear it...

I have my 1G BOV recircing with the dump tube hacked and it is very noticable when releasing pressure. I guess it's on a case by case basis. Find a BOV you like, buy it, and install it. It's that simple. :D

I use to use the 1G bov recirculated and it turned heads, now i have the old school Blitz bov to atmosphere and i run rich, but it sounds really good... it snaps necks...:talon: :thumb: :talon:
 
I use a turbo xs bypass valve.. its pretty loud for being recirculating. But like everyone keeps saying, the pipes make all the difference.

you are soooo wrong. As long as you've rid of the air filter box or canister and thrown on an open element filter, only the deaf and dead will not be able to hear it. I've ran with it recirculated and also vented. It was slightly louder when vented, not insanely louder. All you need is a K&N filter, and you're sh!t will be loud

1)that is why you buy the H-34
2)you are right...
3)they are not "garbage" use a little oil to lube it and a little silicone to seal it up... it works very well, and you get a nice crisp metalic "woosh" instead of that ricer "chirp" that you get with the HK$ valves...

the previous owner of my car put on a turbo xs recirc valve, and it works nicely, it can be heard outside of the car, and it is rather nice. i gotta see about lubing it though... anyone got a guide for that?

unscrew the cap... pull the valve out... put a small coating of engine oil on the inside of the cylinder and the outside of the piston... re-assemble in reverse order of removal...:thumb:
 
Us DSMers have enough to worry about, who needs a leaky BOV? I do not see why people buy the Greedy, Turboxs, etc BOV's.

If you say so. I had so much silicon in my RBV-34 that I could barely take it apart, and my 1g BOV is still the true performer.
