Ok I know this has been asked many times but here we go anyway.

Im ordering a BOV from rx7store and a Apexi Intake.

I need help choosing which BOV would go best with the intake. I want it to be noticable and of good quality.

So its either Apexi, Blitz , Greddy or HKS help me decide


Thanks

i have the Apexi Twin Chamber BOV and i have no complaints. its loud enough to sound good and responds very well! the quality is very good! what car is this for and what mods do you have?

Gecko_7

Its for a 1990 Rx7 TII. I got a downpipe leading to 2 cats and a exhaust. Getting ride of the hole system soon to buy a better one.

Grimlock

cool!

the apexi was easy to install too! oh yeah every time i pop my hood open i always get compliments on it. looks real good! its right up top so it stands out alot.

Grimlock

do you have abs in your rexy? cause the apexi bov will sit right up against the lines coming out of the hydraulic pump. thats the only draw back that i found.

Gecko_7

Yeah I got ABS. So how loud is the apexi bov? My buddy has a Greddy type S on hes Eclipse I think and its pretty loud.

I also have the APEXi dual chamber BOV, no complaints here except that it doesn't fit so good if you still have your ABS. (see http://prax.s5.com for more details in the project section of the MYRX7 section). its not as loud as most of the ones I have heard, but it still sounds nice and is enough to get an odd look when you blow it off in town with people on the sidewalks.

i know what you mean the dsm's sound real good but you wont get the same sound. i have a series4 turbo and at low boost/rpms its not very loud but high boost like 8 and up you can here it a few car lengths away. maybe with your series 5 turbo you can get that air flowing at low boost so that it gives a good SWOOOOOSH! love that sound

Ok so this is what im going to order.

Apexi Intake
Apexi BOV
Apexi Turbotimer and harness
jesus all this stuff is gonna cost me 440 american. thats like 600 canadian

Gecko_7

Is the greddy bov way louder tho?

Grimlock

you can skip the apexi intake and buy a kone filter for 40 bucks dude. then all you have to do is the tid mod and you dont need an adopter plate since you have a series 5 TII. the kone will clamp right on to your afm. whats the apexi kit going for 145 bucks or sumthin like that?

Gecko_7

Its 145 but I read the test it had with the skyline and it gave 14hp. Will just a normal cone do that also?

Grimlock

i never really compared them. but you wont be disappointed with the apexi. i wasnt!

Grimlock

i think so! if you got the money to spend....**** it buy it cause it does look good! but if your trying to cut corners then you can go another route. thats all im saying! **** i spent $135 on my bonez intake, all it was was your basic kone with an adopter plate (what a rip off). just somethin to think about!

this is what im thinking for ya! get a cheapy kone (45 bucks) then take that 100 bucks you save and get an aluminum 3 in, pipe with a nice 45 degree bend and some connectors form home depot and cut that pipe to fit snug with the afm and kone attached. then your gonna have some air flowing!! thats what i did and trust me it'll be much better than that apexi intake!

Gecko_7

Well I just made my order . All that I mentioned above. Now its time to go to work to pay for all of that stuff hehe.
