Aftermarket BOV?

vermilion · 03-24-2005, 01:16 PM

I asked this on NASIOC and got rude replies.. I know its probably been beaten to death but I was wanting to know whatevery one else was using so I could get a general idea of which is the most popular.

Nixlimited · 03-24-2005, 01:33 PM

Most popular: Factory BPV
Most popular response you are going to get: Use the search!

^^^^wat he said ^^^^ bov are horrible for out cars unless u have a bigger turbo.

05SilverSTI · 03-25-2005, 08:56 PM

leave it stock and get a typhoon. you'll hear the bov just fine

Shicane · 03-25-2005, 11:35 PM

i'm sure you know what it does and how it affects your car after being told to search countless time(nas***) ..

answer to your question: one of the fairly common one is the HKS SSQV BOV..not just on Subarus but others like nissan and toyota(those with turbo kits)... becoz of the whoooooosssshh.. it makes...very nice sounding..

just get an intake and see how it sounds then

My stock BOV is burning oil. Which aftermarket BOV should I get to fix this?

hahahah

You're kidding right?

Save your money and just remove the intake silencer.

grenade · 03-31-2005, 12:29 AM

if you do remove the silencer for the purpose of getting louder noises, don't replace it with an elbow, otherwise the car will sound the same. at least that is what happened with my car.

A bigger turbo will not change the ECU's confusion on how much mass air is in the engine when vented to atm. You would need to go to a different EM that would use air metering (MAP) instead of a MAF to make the system happy with a BOV.

BTW guys, some of you seem to be confused:
BOV = Blow Off Valve (Vent to atm)
BPV = ByPass Valve (Recalculate back into the unpressurized intake system)

They are NOT the same thing. STi's have a BPV stock.

Honestly i think the whole deal with BOV is a joke. People buy the BOV that vent 100% to the atmosphere without major mods, complain about the running rich, rough idle etc, and make BOV ingeneral bad.

Personally I bought a GFB Stealth FX, and it is fully adjustable. They say for noise, but it controls the venting. This is the safest bet if you have either a stock vehicle or slightly modded. I plan on getting a cat-back and intake for my car and thats it for a bit on the engine side. No real power gains, but i want to keep my warranty for a bit so flame as you will. It's not like I am wasting my money becuase all I have to do is get a downpipe and I have a tbe, and if I get the AP I will be at stage 2. So that is when I want to piss off the dealer people.....

just my $0.2

donmei · 03-31-2005, 11:31 AM

redlinr,
but you spent $300 for a BOV that is functionally inferior to the stock BPV. So while you may not do any harm, and I'm not sure I believe that, you have wasted your money on something that does not do any good.
