BOV w/o a super??

hey guys...yesterday i raced a 2G eclipse in my 2000 eclipse gt and i KNOW i heard a BOV so i was a little afraid to race him(noone likes loosing) the weird thing is i still beat him...now is it possible to install a BOV w/o having the supercharger??U think thats what he did? what would be the point?? where would you install it?

Sure. You can install it with a turbocharger :)

And you could install it, but it would do absolutely nothing, not even blow off.

If you beat him, he may just have the OEM turbo setup with an aftermarket BOV.

i want a supercharger sooo bad raaaaaaaaaawwwwr!! sry...just letting it out....

you can also by those fake BOV things off ebay, which will make the sound when you take you foot off the gas

you do know that the 2Gs come with turbos and not superchargers, right?

even if the 2G had a stock turbo, it will still beat a GT eclipse if the driver of the 2G is moderately good. he doesnt have to be that great of a driver to be a 3G GT. maybe the guy just sucked at driving.

also, there is a big difference between a GST and a GS with a turbo kit

maybe the guy just sucked at driving.

when i drive my girls 00 gt shiftronic and i never lost to a 2g tubro. the only thing i have any problems with as far as dsm is 1g turbo.

fake BOV's? WTF??? why would you do that? how do they work?

those drivers suck. a fairly decent driver with a 2G GST 5spd will dog a 3G GT 5spd with the best driver. the 3G will get it off the line with its torque, but once the turbo spools, its over.

and with yours being the sportstronic, then yours has even less horsepower than the 5 spd

why would somebody get one?? so they can make everybody think they have something under the hood.

i really dont know how it works. i think it goes by the throttle. when you let off the gas, it makes the sound

God damn eclipsed4utoo. freaking post whore :) NO wonder your post number is so high. Cheater! :)

No no no, a post whore

would

do.

this...

I dont see anything wrong with him...and besides, most post whores talk about useless jabber....like what you just said...absolutely nothing other than to say someone else was whoring...he actually has something useful to say...and my 2 cents is that i dont think its actually possible for a BOV to work on non FI. Only because once the throttle is closed, no air is STILL being worked into the engine...or trying to be. The only way it might work even the slightest would be if they put one of those "leaf blowers" in there and only used it to make the sound. Even then i doubt enough pressure would be built to create any noise. One of my buddies drove a 1G 1.8 non turbo, and it sounded like it was turbo because his motor was blown and there was alot of seapage from his engine. It sounded kinda cool...but his car sucked ass hardcore...lol

any way to get a bov without a supercharger???
Excuse me but what???
When we talk gst or gsx we're talking turbos and eclipsed4utoo is right, any good gst or gsx driver will take any 3g any day.

If you really only want that 'Blow off valve effect' that they have just about every 5 minutes throughout 2fast 2furious look to an ebay search for fake blow off valves but I would advise against it.... I would suggest you do some serious research into FI before venturing any further.

yeah

spend

the money

on hookers

and booze.

they're like twenty bucks on ebay! and the only ones i saw were for ricerhondas. it looked like it went in the very tip of the exhuast. i guess theres a sucker born every day.

Sorry. Then eclipsed4utoo is a slut then. Not quite a whore yet. :)

Heye mang how can I gat blooo flamezzz to shewt owt the exhost?!

actually, it could have been the stock BOV on the 2g, my friend's BOV was pretty loud and it turned heads like the whistle of my intake does, and it also could have been an automatic that you beat, those have little to no power at all

yall do know that deliberate whoring is cause for banning. i dont like to quote two different people in the same post. i get confused and then yall will get confused. so i keep it simple.

and the reason i have so many post is b/c i get bored at work and ive been here longer than most people who come to this forum

Oh just laugh at yourself man! :) I know the rest of us are.

well im glad to i have an effect on everybody. i laugh everyday at myself cause i can be a retard sometimes
