im looking to get a new bov what dose everyone recomend and like about different BOV ,what works best?

look in the 'read this BEFORE you ask a question' sticky thread at the top of the forum. look into the 3rd or fourth post. big letters about BOV works best.

the first 1gen BOV! or that is what most of all that i have heard in this forum

whatever you want. as long as its not an atmispheric bov.

Do i see any benefits to buying a BOV?

-Edit-

Besides being much stronger that the stock plastic cap

in three months im gonna buy the 1g BOV and i heard good things about it, as i was told and many people will tell you, you should also upgrade the stock UICP at the same time...the benefits from a better BOV is you will be getting factory psi and not lose any boost pressure..from what i was told

the stock 2g BOV will leak at pressures over 13 psi or so.

"the best BOV is the one that doesn't leak."

the most popular ones in the DSM world are the 1g BOV's because of cost [cheap] and reliability [20+psi, non leaky]

with a little more $$ to spend you can get a GReddy Type-S. not as accepted in this forum, but nobody can give a straight reason for that, just that it's a name brand, and they have never actually run one, blah, blah, blah. i run it and i love it for it's flexibility of tuning adjustment. never once had a problem, and it is very easily dumped back into the intake.

do a search on BOV and spend the next week sifting thru the once a week neubee post on 'what's the best BOV'

and get some Dejon Tools UICP. this is the best for the $$. just do a search

Is the Greddy Type-S loud? How much boost are you running on yours BoostedSpyder? I was thinking of getting a Greddy Type-s but i dont have any money:( So i guess i have to save.

it can be if you are venting it, well, it is even if you are dumping it with at least a K&N FIPK and the dump tube hacked. i'm running like 14.5 daily and up to 17 if i wanna go real fast [but it's a T-Toosmalljones]. it is very noticable nonetheless.

im also looking for a new BOV...considering many options, but right now im leaning toward the 1g polished bov because of the price and the 20+ psi capability...is the 1g bov loud, i want a fairly loud bov because the sound is so amazing. I do not want sound to get in the way of performance but i would prefer it to be loud. Also does anyone know if a blitz bov has the capability to be dumped back into the intake?

Well this is one subject that never goes away. Anyway, i been using a Forge Motorsports diverter valve for almost 2 years. It fits your stock uicp if you don't want to change it yet. I just ordred my new UICP from Dijon tool, they custom did the pipe so i can fit a 2g style bov in there hard pipe, no charge.

sweet where did you find the dijon tool uicp and what did it run

Dejon Tool

"Ttoosmalljones" --haha nice Vince

Let's not forget the 3kgt bov is a direct fit to the stock 2g uicp. Although, I have heard it is a bit inferior to the 1g eclipse bov. I was also wondering about the sound of the 1g bov compared to Turbo XS or Greddy or what have you.

Check this story:

I'm sitting in my dorm on the third floor, with a basketball court and some grass between me and the street. I hear this amazing engine outside, beautiful exhaust tone. So, I'm wondering what it is, and as I go to the window, I hear the loudest bov I have ever heard. I mean this thing is ridiculous--I'm a good 50 yards away and it's like music to my ears! Now I'm intruiged, and as I look closer, what could it be? A red 1g talon. What an ear I have :p!

So, I recall earlier going to the Virginia DSM website, and seeing that one of the members goes to UVA (my school). I thought I recalled him having a red 1g dsm, so I checked back, and sure enough...it was him. I shot him an email, and we're going to get together after I bring my Talon back up next semester. Just a funny coincidence that I thought I'd share :D

Btw, here is a link to his car--it's pretty impressive for a broke college student!

personally i like the sound of my HKS SSQV... and it looks cool




man i sound like a ricer, lol :loser:

sweet where did you find the dijon tool uicp and what did it run


105 for the pipe in any color plus S&H

The Divertervalve (if you intersted) cost 140 something when i bought it a while ago. I think they went up on the price but i know they include there "spring" kit now. It's all there springs and spacers so you can adjust the valve. That was 15 bucks by itself when i got mine

funny, it kinda resembles a 1g BOV

Whats the difference with dumping it and releasing it back into the atmosphere? Are they easy to convert from atmosphere to dumping...sorry question prolly been asked just a newb as it says

dumping it can cause stalls during idle and also cause it to run rich during shifts. the ECU is set up to have that extra charge dumped back in, so when it isn't it messes with the ECU. i can dump mine with no problems and with the adjustability of the type-s i just change the strength and it blows nice and i don't get compresser surge or late BOV opening.

so the question remains how do you make you bov loud without venting into the atmosphere...what aftermarket bov is loud and runs back to the intake.

I like the HKS SSQV BOV as well. Sweet sound. HKS is a pretty nice company I think.

If not the HKS than the Greddy S.

the question still remains how do i make my bov loud without venting it into the atmosphere. what aftermarket bov are loud that run back into the intake

sry didnt realize the last post made it...does the hks run back to the intake?

Greddy type R and S , HKS SSV , 1g Eclipse are others. Basically there all lound enough to be noticed. The all sound a little diffrent from each other. The HKS sounds like a wheezing kid with asthma to me.

To get more sound you will have to get an intake filter. Get rid of the dump tube comming inside the intake tube.

To me, that makes it loud enough.

But if you get rid of the dump tube dont you have problems with your ECU still thinking that you have the same amount of air flowing as you did before causing too much fuel to pass?

The dump tube extends into the intake more than you think. It actually blocks intake air to a point. Trim it flush inside the intake tube.

yea AmericanEagle is right that is one of the first things i did to my car after i got it. I chopped that dump tube off. check out this page it tells you how to do it in a few easy steps. It takes about 30 min and it is well worth it. http://www.tgilmore.com/talon/dumptube.html

ahhh gotcha, so what i am doing is buying the dejontool 2 3/4" intake pipe with BOV tube, and for right now i have stock BOV and Crappy UICP (stock) should i still shave or wait?

Here are some sounds of different bov's.

The STOCK intake pipe is what you 'cut' the dump tube from the inside. If you get a Dejon pipe, you don't have to do any work to it. If you get a filter and that Dejon intake, you will hear your BOV louder. There is NO way to make a BOV louder without venting it (bad). Some brands happen to be louder/different sounding. You can vent using some expensive electronics. If you're interested in spending ~$400-1200 dollars for 'a louder sound', let me know and I'll continue.

Lol, no thank you...i wasn't wanting the sound...just the performance. The 400-1200 will go to something more important! Like the UICP and BOV. Thanks been a lot of help!

no, ill pass on that haha...the sond is tight tho

All right i have found a guy selling a used Greddy Type S, he is going to be sending me pictures of it later on. He says it has about 10,000 miles on it, are there any questions i need to ask him about it before i decide to purchase it?

i have over 15k on mine and it still looks and acts brand new. i am tinkering with it all the time trying to decide if i like it one way or the other and venting/dumping too. some days i find myself driving to work and back only so i dump it, then if i'm going places or have a busy weekend i'll vent it.

it's so funny when you get up close to some ricer and 'ping' the BOV right next to their heads!!! i personally like to shift into 3rd next to the driver side [or if their is a chick in their car on the pass side]. the loudness of the vented BOV is piercing at the least. i always see people snapping thier heads around. and if you are sitting at a light and give it a couple of revs pings ricers back down real quick... i swear i smile everytime i hear my BOV!!!!!!

So would this be a good deal a Greddy Type S with 10,000 miles of usage few scratches nuttin big for 120 dollars?
