Which Bov is the best sounding for a stock 93 rx7?

 

Uh oh...

 

roffl

 

lol just vent the stock one

 

i'm serioux i tried a couple and don't like the sound at all...
HKS, Greddy type S... I now have a blitz DD...but the car is stored

 

Loudest = best, right?

 

tell ur friend to do ur BOV sounds...

PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHPAW!!!!!

loudest bov = Turbo XS RFL hands down.. I got it on my supra.. don't like the sound though

 

agreed, thats the only reason why i bought my RFL, cause its loud however at full boost it sounds like what an airport entrance door sounds like when it closes..that rush of air that closes the door, its like ppppusssshhhhhh!! LOL or something like that..

 

best sounding..... i think the hks ss bov is the best , i have herd almost all of them, but they all do the same task.

 

i love the sound of the rfl

 

get the tial one...no sound at all...

 

I can hear my stock ones and I like them just fine

 

he's onto something...

 

Get the HKS, it gives about 5 rwhp.

Seriously though I wouldn't waste your money there are much better places it can be spent.

 

aznraver,

"Best sounding" is subjective to each person. The best way to go about it is to think of what "type" of sound you would like to hear. Both the stock BOV and the Apexi have the classic "whoosh" sound. The others have different types of sound so you'll need to decide the type of sound you want to hear, and that will lead you to the BOV you might want.

Also, there have been noted turbo response improvements from using aftermarket BOV's due to their stronger springs (which everyone seems to be forgetting or doesn't know about).

There is a mechanic in TN (his name is Garfinkle) who modifies the stock BOV (for a price) fitting a stronger spring thus giving the benefit of a aftermarket BOV without the price tag of one.

 

From what I've read the stock bov is sufficiently strong for stock and even higher boost.

Not trying to be an ***, but do you have any proof other then hearsay (or first hand experience) and the butt dyno to support this?

 

The stock BOV bleeds some air off until boost starts. Most people venting it will hear it and there are a number of threads talking about it.

As far as "dyno" proof, nope, none. Only what I've experienced as well as others:

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/changing-spring-stock-bov-276067/

It's going to be something similar to pullies: Not much on the dyno but noticeable when driving.

 

Interesting...

I still think there are better ways for the money to be spent though.

 

Maybe so, but changing out the BOV (or at least the spring in the stock BOV) does more than just make a different sound.

However, it's no different than changing out the shift ****, steering wheel, or other stock components that already work fine. It's people using their money however they want to...

 

Agreed, I was merely stating my opinion, not trying to start an argument.

 

I just like the sound guys, that's all, I get bov for very cheap. I paid my Blitz DD Bov 80$. But i still dunno how it's sounds since my car is stored? any first hand experience with blitz? I tried the old jdm plastic **** hks SSQV bov and it sounded like crap...

 

I think you'll love the blitz bov it sounds really bad.psssssshhhhh

 

I've recently noticed this too. I did have both my stock CRV and BOV vented, but I recently re-piped the CRV back into the air box and only have the BOV vented, and I can hear it bleeding off slightly. It's not a big enough deal for me to buy an aftermarked BOV though, I'd rather sink that money somewhere else.

 

this one sounds the best
