Blow Off Valve For Mr-2

[racerh03]

i know that mr-2 dont have blow off valves, what are they called waste gates or something thanks

[scarecrowX]

bypass valves. they do almost the same thing as a blow off valve, but they also allow air to bypass the compressor in low load situations.

wastegate is what allows exhaust gas to bypass the turbine to limit the amount of boost the turbo makes.

But the ricers go for BOVs because they go pssshht. Like in the Fast and the Furious.

I resent that comment. I have a BOV, and yes i have it for the sound. But it doesnt mean that people who have a BOV is a ricer. Its something to do with presenting a car. you wanna make your car look nice right? so its only fair to make the car sound nice too. A true ricer is something like buying a nitrous tank only to "purge" and not even hooking the damn thing up. I love BOV's even if it does sacrifice performance. BLEH

that makes you a ricer. Sorry man. It comes to the same thing as not hooking up your NAAAWWWWSSS. Or an airplane wing. Sacrificing performance for a little wooshing sound... just buy a turbo whistle on ebay why don't you.

blow off valves go wooooo woooooooooo

[racerh03]

why dont u just let the people with blow off valves have them instead of talking shit about the sound everybody has the own taste

[neonracer98]

Well if you buy a BOV for the sound thats pretty sad IMO. You buy a better BOV to get some performance out of it, why do you think people change them. Most higher end BOV do not make alot of noise

well, the definition that most of the people i've met use to define "ricer" is someone who thinks their weak mods give them more performance than they do. example: 15HP from a cold air intake. hondachili isn't saying that his bov is gaining him any performance. in fact, he conceded that it very well could be costing him performance, he just likes the noise. that does not make him a ricer, it makes him an enthusiast. he is tuning the car to be more enjoyable for him to drive. you have no right to call him names for pursuing that which makes him happy.

in fact, the people who more accurately exhibit the "ricer" mentality are the ones who think their factory BPV is making them faster. does the OEM valve perform better than aftermarket valves? yes. is it a significant gain in performance? that's debatable. i'd like to see some lap times to back up the claims that these other valves are so far inferior to the OEM that they would cost you time on a track. but forget the actual imperical data, bench racing is just fine when you're demeaning someone over the internet for reasons you can't back up yourself.

So no one is allowed to have an opinion anymore. There's always someone who will get offended. I digress, my original statement was a generalization.
Hondachili decided to take it personally, that's his call. There is no set definition for the word "ricer" or what is and is not "rice". If you think that it means that people who think that they get 30hp (AT THE WHEELS) from an CAI, or 45hp (AT THE WHEELS) from an exhaust, then fine. That can be your definition. Mine, on the other hand, involves pointless, overdone modifications made to the engine and/or body of the car. I just don't understand why you would sacrifice the performance of your car for a sound. Everyone joked about the "turbo whistle" or the other muffler attachment that Bubb Rubb was peddling. This falls into the same category.
Hondachili himself said that a real ricer buys a nitrous kit without even hooking up the bottle. So in my head, it comes out to the same bloody thing.

but i like the bov sound lol not that i have one

[HondaChili]

ok mr2 chick, although BOV does sacifice performance, it doesnt do it where the car falls behind drastically. If we are talking about giving your car parts where performance would only matter, then well everyone would be driving around in 13 in rims. why do people get 17 or 18 in when clearly the 13's give you more speed. On top of that if everyone were to go out and buy the things that will only gain them performance, then you'll have a crap load of the same cars with the same mods, now where is the fun in that? An enthusiast differentiates their cars from others. An import show would be pointless to have if it were under your ideals, no? But just to clear up what you said before, i am not taking this personal, i agree that everyone has the right to their own opinions, but when you go on an car forum and start calling people ricers, that is pretty childish in my "OPINION." Note the fact that not in a one sentence of my previous post have i offended you in anyway, and it was you who came out with the names. But whatever, it doesnt matter to me, on this subject no one is wrong. Just asking for a lil courtesy thats all.
oh yea, thanx for the backup crow.

Whats so sad about buying a BOV? i'd like to see you take that comment on any turbo car forum and i guarantee that there will be negative feedbacks. Once again it is up to the owner of the car to do whatever he/ she likes. I'd really like to see a list of the mods on your car, including some pictures to back it up.
