Which BOV? [Merged 3-8] what bov best bov

[Batgirl]

I am looking at replacing my BOV. I was looking at the Greddy XS, but I seem to be seeing people with Greddy problems aplenty. What BOV do you like? Why?

Also, what is a safe PSI for a stock turbo? I hear rumors that anything beyond 14 will raise hell on the engine.

Thanks for your help!

the rfl bov is made to vent to the atmosphere...just get the h34 if u wanna recirculate it. its the same bov but w/out the horn.

y0 y0 f00 I got the mad tight B0V that goes W00 W00000

hahaha, I knew Greddy would have the most votes, I bet all the Greddy votes are for the type S - hit B0V too.

my B0V goes W00 W0000 :laugh:

[Hooah]

[tekwon]

you can hear the type-s even if you recirculate it?

Yes you can and more like a whisttle than a whoosh that a TurboXS makes.

Also 13SECGST, if you had a Type S and your car jerks when you shift you need to adjust that screw on top. I think you got the setting on it too tight and doesn't let enough boost out in between shifts.

"Stock 1G on a 1G car"

"Stock 2G"

HKS SSQ BOV

 

[Slappster]

Tell me what you guys think.

Tial 50mm bov (comes with ps fmic) OR Turboxs RFL, H34

 

[XTurboSpYderX]

I love the H-34 CBV (same as RFL, but allows you to recirc) but the Tial 50mm is HUGE... I don't like the "flapper type" valve system, but DAMN... 50mm? IMHO I would get the H-34 CBV... all metal, piston type valve... (just remember to lube it before you install it)

 

[gs-t_96]

Stock 1g on a 2g right here because I'm to poor to buy a fancy bov.

But one of things that i have seen that i don't like is all the bashing. i come on here and try to learn as much as i can. alot of us, including me don't post very much, if ever. i just sit back and read what all off you have to say. but when im reading a post, and starting to understand what's being said, i then come across someone that decides they need to come in and post some stupid sh1t to throw off the hole post. which then turns into a huge argument. it's not needed.... jason

I second that Jason. It's a problem on all boards, not just here. I haven't even totally decided on what car I want to get, but I've joined a few boards to do some homework. One other thing I'd like to say, because it seems appropriate with the bashing thing. Whomever it was, and I assume they were from this board, who came on to 240SX.org and bashed the hell out of 240s using the name "AWDOWNSYOU" (including the wonderful use of caps). I believe you were from here is because it was literally the day after I posted a few simple questions on a thread titled "Hello." If I find out who you were, I will make sure you are banished from any boards you are on, including this one.

I have a stock 1g bov on a 2g

I "third" that. People are just trying to have a nice conversation about BOV's and some dumbass has to interupt the flow. These polls are helpful because newbies like me can find out about good BOV's. There are a few manufacturer's that I'm looking at, and this poll gave me a few more. I think I'm going with TurboXS RFL, but for now i'm stock.

i'm kinda torn between 2 bov's. I'm either gonna go with a stock 1g, or a GReddy Type-S. I like the GReddy and have heard good things. but the 1g just makes the car look more stock. And should i wait and buy the bov and buy it and my Upper I/C pipe at the same time? Thanx!!

 

[R-U-QUIKR]

It would be less work if you wait but its really up to you. As far as the blow off valves go if you want a real dope one check out HKS SSQV but a valve that is in a reasonable price range and is a 2G drop in is forged motorsport fast road dv. I know 2 different guys with it and they highly reccomend it.

Get a 1G BOV & UICP. It's WELL worth it. I just installed my new UICP today and it's AWWWEESOOMMEE

 

[bubbaGSX]

1g bov is highly recommeded!

 

[Rob_DSM]

I like my 1G BOV. No more leaking, more power, and cooler psssh sounds even when its recirculated. I have mine on a Dejon pipe.

 

[hondakilla90]

Get the stock 1g BOV and use the money you saved for other mods

 

[Dieselboy]

I just installed my GReddy Type-S last night. I have a Home made intake, stock UICP, and the BOV is recirc'd. This bytch is loooouud even recirc'd. Im extremely happy with the results (thanks Candela for the hook up).
