What BOV do you have?

I'm just curious what BOV you guys have on your car. I drive a 2g GST but I have a 1g BOV with a hard UICP attached to it. I'm satisfy with it sometimes. But when I hear an HKS BOV, oh man! Kind of wish I went for the HKS instead, but 1g BOV is fine for now. It just sounds like a huge puff of air puffing but sometimes it'll sound like a whistle.

Greddy Type-S purple top......

I don't like it, flutters too much even with the adjustment screw all the way out.

Wish I had my old 1G, with a 1G flange, it worked perfect.

Greddy Type s, I love it. Sometimes though, I wish I had something more mean sounding, but it does the job.

There is something wrong if you have the screw all the way out and it flutters. I have a Type S and love the whilste sound. I now have an Type RS and it sounds like a loud 1G BOV and it is a pain in the ass to ajust because it does not flutter like a Type S.

Re: What BOV do you have?

When I got my car last year, it had a TurboXS Type H-RFL. Way too loud for me. Even shifting at 3k rpm with low throttle, just normal acceleration, it would make the loudest hiss. Quickly sold that on ebay for $80 and got a 1g bov.

Re: What BOV do you have?

I tape recorded my friends BOV in a cassette.
Wherever i drive, i play that ppsssss beat all the time extra loud.
Imagine seeing me, at the red light with a loud BOV non stop no engine roar.
At the park, psssss.
At the car wash, psssss.

hehe, i was gonna do that like 5 years ago just for kicks.
But i have a greddy type-s.
Something is wrong with my bov, when you quickly press the gas just a tad, and let it die down, you hear this whistling sound like a pipe.

Re: What BOV do you have?

How do you guys recirculate aftermarket BOV's?

I bought an UPIC and it has an aftermarket BOV on it, not sure which one.
looks like this one:

http://www.eleanor.hu/eleanor_web/tu..._bov-h-rfl.jpg

and that weird cone pipe thing unthreads, how do you think I should recirculate that?

Re: What BOV do you have?

that one isn't for recirculating. It has the bell shaped outlet to increase the sound for when it vents to atmosphere. I run a 1g BOV, crushed and polished by good ol QPR!


it'll soon be up for sale, as I will be picking up a Forge unit here soon.

Brandon, I will probably buy it off you unless it's spoken for already.

Re: What BOV do you have?

I run a HKS SSQV. I will also be adding a TiAL when I redo my piping. The HKS opens quick, but does not blow off as much air as the TiAL. They should work well together.

Re: What BOV do you have?

I've got a Greddy type-S. It works I guess. It'll either sound like a fluttering, dying dove, little tweety bird or a yelping dog.
