bov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey whats up guys i got a 1997 gst, i got about 300 bucks to throw around, and i was wondering about a bov and an exhaust? which would be a better upgrade to do first? i was thinking of a bov kit 95-99 ECLIPSE TB INTERCOOLER KIT/GREDDY BLOW OFF VALVE i was just wondering how loud this bov is or should i go with an RFL or what? also what type of exhuast would go good with this i dont want my car to should like a little honda racer :banghead: lol thanks guys :icon16:

if your talking about the one on ebay? thats the one i got. For the piping and the bov combined. i like it.

if your gunna go with the exhaust i would go apexi N1 thats a lil more than 300 and i got my super sequential for 250 with flange kit i love that sound

ssqv cant be recirculated. do a search on "venting bov" before you decide on what kind you want.

I just bought the Greddy type- RS BOV and i didnt realizethat their isnt a recerculation kit for it yet ( i think its out earlyer than expected thats why the Recirculation kit isnt out till liek march or something ) and i was woundering if when i install it will their be any problems besides maby a diference in the idle of the car ? and since my car isnt heavily upgrade it shouldnt make a difference in my performance right ?

concidering my car was upgraded to say 400HP and i put on a NON-Circulated BOV would it lessen the perfomance of the vehicle ?? if so i wana know WHY or why not....im curious to how exactaly the recirculating BOV works and how it works diferently when not. sorry if this is too long lol.

There is an absolute shitload of info already out there on venting vs recirculating, since it probably the most common question asked in any dSM forum. Spend a little time searching. I could write for hours about this subject, but to be honest I couldn't be arsed.

what a can of worms this thread is... LMAO...

but just because it is late and i feel as though i haven't been sharing my load of newby ass questions here it goes...

don't start off venting the BOV. recirc it. that ebay kit is ok i suppose but that is a pretty vauge cut and paste. next time try a link. also check out Dejon Tools pipes.

i have both the Type-S and the Type-RS. i vent and i got a shitload of mods that make it so that i don't stall. i'm not sure what the magic mod is though. i like the -S much more. the sound is much cooler. when you rev at a light there is no mistaking a -S. one time a silly WRX was reving at me and it took a bit of a load to get a bunch of boost up to warrant a nice ping from the BOV. it is just really quiet with a no load rev. a -S is a great sound from any rev...

do a search on vent and see what pops up for the diffs on vent/dump...

i'm not sure what the magic mod is though.

what did you mean by that ? im curious.

the hks ssq can be recirculated. there is a kit they sell, hell on ebay i think it's like $15. it's a small metal tube. you take the hks cover off the bov, take the insert out, and replace it with the tube. then hook up the dump tube to it.

I'm half tempted to start talking about BOVs again, but the lack of searching kind of pissed me off.

A BOV is a good mod because the 2g one leaks for some people. It doesn't mean you need to buy the loudest one. the HKS recirculates, I have seen it.

Exhaust, 300 bucks wont buy a lot unless you get a custom one made (or do it yourself). A brand name catback will be $400 and a downpipe $200+. A blow off valve won't make you much faster if any, it will be fixing a stock leak, not improving performance.
