Bov

Whats the difference between venting to the atmosphere rather than to the intake is one not street legal? Whats you guyz opinion on aftermarket bov and which did you choose looking to upgrade mine soon.

Do a search in this forum, go to www.dsmtalk.com , and www.dsmtuners.com, this topic has been beat to death with a stick!

Has anybody heard anything good about the TurboSmart Dual Port Blow Off Valve it vents to the intake & vents to the atmosphere and was wondering if it would be a good choice to both have the driveability of venting it to the intake but also having that sweet pstttt sound. What do you think about this one?

I've never heard about that BOV... so I don't know. I'd recommend one that DSM vendors sell. I'm NOT going to tell you if you should vent, in an effort to make you learn for yourself. There are 100 threads about it already.

Ive also read thousands of thread talking about the possibilities of venting and how it could be damaging. DSMparts (http://www.dsmparts.com/blow_off_valves_dsm.htm) carries this bov. But since it does both at the same time venting to the intake and also to the atmosphere it seems like it would be ok to use. Just wondering if anybody else out there has any experience or has heard of this bov. I really like the sound of a bov and want it to be louder but i dont want my car to run bad at the same time and it seems like this could give you the best of both worlds. Let me know what yall think about it.

There is no such thing as venting and not venting at the same time. MOST aftermarket BOV's that recirculate back into the intake are a lot louder than stock.

Not loud enough. It does do both not really sure how but the bov has two openings at each end one dumps it into the intake and the other to the atmosphere so you dont get the horrible effects of just venting to the atmosphere at least this is what im assuming go to www.dsmparts.com then you will see which bov im talking about but i guess this is fairly new because i cannot find any reviews about it anywhere so im sorta stuck on what to get.

wrong, this bov vents nto intake @ low boost, and vents to the atmos... at high boost! Well there are some threats @ DSMtuners.com (http://www.dsmtuners.com)

look here klick and go to number 6 (http://www.dsmparts.com/blow_off_valves_dsm.htm)

I said AT THE SAME TIME. That BOV sounds like the biggest piece of shit ever. If it vents at high boost you still have problems. If it vents SOME air at any boost, you have half the problems. I wouldn't put that on my car if someone paid me.

So do you think this bov is good??? It looks pritty cool, but i still dont understand how it works?

I haven't seen any proof that it actually solves any problems. It's either like half-venting, or venting half the time. Get a 1g BOV and recirculate.

O. Well i might try it and see how it works anyway if not il juss sell it on ebay or sumtin. I went to a site that said its ok to use on dsm and wont have a fuel cut prob or wutever cant remember where tho. If not i will just vent to intake with some other bov what kinda should i get? Ive got a 90 eclipse so i already have a 1g bov but i want something louder will a new bov venting to the intake be louder than the 1g or is that pretty much the best you could get? Obviously i dont know much when it comes to bov lol :biggrin: just help me out on this.

Don't buy a new BOV because its louder. I don't know which ricer BOV is the loudest, but if you want it loud, you shouldn't recirculate. Get the parts to vent so your car doesn't run poorly.

you can smell the fire cooking everytime someone posts a new thread titled BOV or which BOV? etc... lol

did yo see some of those BOV's!! the MEGASONIC!!!!!! LMAO!!!!! is that even a word!?!?!?!?!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::r ofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

So an aftermarket bov is no louder than stock or is it just not much louder. I would buy the parts to just vent but im a lil short on cash and dont wanna spend all that much juss for the pshttt sound. Im thinking of just getting a Greddy type s or a Turbo XS Type H34 and recirculate or do you guyz think its not really worth it and just stick with the 1g???? :eek7:

O and by the way im no ricer i just love the sound of a bov its so sexy :lol: but really am I the only one that enjoys this sound???

No your not the only one who loves the sound, i do too!!! But id rather run my car safe then give up the performance or even damage my car, so i would re-circulate.

I dont want to be rude but numerous people have said to get a 1G BOV and dont vent. You have that now so keep it that way. i hate when people ask a question and then keep moving away fromt the answer that was given becasue they dont want to hear it. yes the sound is cool but it will suck when you cool sounding turbo car gets beat by a quiet well running car.

Also to answer, most aftermarket BOV's are louder recirculated than the stock 1g or 2g.
