No BOV sound when reving on neutral?

[gotmyeclipse]

is this normal?

 

[Kalub]

Quite.


You need load on the engine to build any sort of boost. Merely rev'ing the engine will not net you anything, usually.

Yes it's all good

If you can manipulate the BOV just free revving the engine, the spring is not properly adjusted (too loose)

I'm assuming that you aren't raising the rpms high enough. The only thing that leads me to believe this is, that your question would have been. Why wont my bov purge?

Try raising the RPMs when you rev in neutral. Honestly though. Why are you wanting to purge the bov in neutral?

What bov are you running?

The only one that I've ever heard in person release at idle was a knock off Type-S with the spring super loose.


I wouldn't worry about it.

It's all good man, it's a fairly common and blurry subject, but that's without the right information presented

Welcome to tuners by the way.

My 1g bov never did until I crushed it. Now it whistles if I rev in neutral.

I would do a boost leak test, it might have been damaged when crushed

My stock 1G BOV whistles too. At neutral, and when I'm driving around. Is there a way to tell if it's crushed?

Yeah. It will look like a vice attacked the top of it. It will be incredibly obvious, the hat deforms when crushed.

Not damaged.....when stock, engine vac would partially open the valve. Now that its crushed the spring tension now holds it closed at idle. So if i rev and create more vac then it slightly opens and whistles. No big deal and kind of funny cause nobody expects the car to whistle. Holds higher boost now and still blows off fine, but thanks for your concern.

Ah I see, it's just the way I read your first post it sounded like the valve never opened or couldn't be manipulated at idle but then when it got the crush mod done to it, it all of a sudden started to whistle
