BOV on a N/A CAR?

[Supa_dupa_man]

Ok... im baffled... there is this guy that i work with and he has a 420a neon, with basic mods, CAI, exhaust, igntion, camgears, you know basics... anyways, he pulled up to work the other day and he was roddin down the road, and i heard a bov... i was like what the heck, hes not boosted... anyways, he says that he put a bov on his intake piping and set it really soft, so is will unload, so it sounds like he is boosted... i was like "bs dude", thats not even possible, and it would suck because if you could you would loose power... then he was like, "no man, i did it." he popped his hood, and sure enough he had a turboX bov mounted right onto his CAI piping, but he was still n/a, no FMIC, no SMIC, no Turbo, just a bov.... can somebody explain this to me... some other guy that i work with said that the neon has a custom horn that makes the bov sound.... soooo...... wtf? im lost.... and i feel like im getting dumber, working with these idiots!

Tiiiiiight

[Supa_dupa_man]

its wierd what people will do... im trying to figure out if i heard his "horn" or if that bov under the hood was really getting enough pressure to reliese any air... its screwed up man....

It will not see any pressure. At WOT on an N/A car they will see 0 vacuum. If anything, if the BOV is some how opening, its sucking air in.

[Supa_dupa_man]

all i know is i heard a loud freaking PIIISSSSHHHH! and i was like "WTF"! i wanna kick the kid in the balls just for just having a bov on his n/a car, he should not be able to reproduce,as somebody else stated...

probably one of those fake speaker type blow off valves that you can get on ebay for like $20.

Freaking sweet I want one! NA BOV FTMFW WOOT!

BOVs open under heavy vacuum, so it will function on an NA car, just like it would on a turbo cars, but I don't know what it would sound like, since you don't quite have the same amount of pressure built up waiting to be released.

Sadly I had a kid tell me he wanted to put a bov on his jeep just for the sound. And just the other day my buddy tried to tell me the bov had no purpose but to make the sound. People are just getting dumber these days it seems.

Yes it would open up, but it would end up venting the CAI into atmosphere, which would be virtually no difference. It wouldn't make any noise. I bet he has an electric BOV thing too.

SOunds like you need to get away from this dumb fuck.

[Supa_dupa_man]

i would, but i work with the fool.... i should try to get his ass fired so then he could go get a fuck off job at burger time or some shit... i think it may be electric too... i never knew they made those exhaust whistles and sold them on ebay... hmm, guess im not stupid enough to want one... lol...

[polishmafia]

this gets todays ricer petes stamp of approval.

He has an electric supercharger before the BOV.
