Is it possible to: Buy a Greddy Type RS BOV and use it on the stock intake. My car is completely stock and i want the PSSSSSSSSSSTTTTT sound. My friend has a GST with an HKS BOV and it is the best sound EVER. Just wanted to see if it was possible to hook it up to the stock tubing on the intake. I've looked on here but can't find anything so either i'm "retared and blind" or i'm just "retarted and blind"

Just take off the hose going from the stock bov to the air box and you'll get all the psShSHhHThThsdtsadthsadfh sound you want. Oh, by the way, it's also cool to unplug the vacuum lines going to your wastegate actuator.

 

y do u own an FD... just not right

 

OK people, I think he gets the point. No reason to continue on bashing the guy. If you try searching around, you can find out how to vent your factory to get the sound your looking for. Greddy makes a BOV kit for the rx7 that I beleive can be used with the stock intake, well atleast I would assume so since its a "kit" and not a universal that you can weld anywhere. I'd double check with Greddy though. Other wise you would need to replace your intercooler piping, with something like the Greddy piping kit, so you can have it welded on.

FYI, it's normally helpful if the thread topic is relevantly titled to the subject of the thread.

 

Haha.. You guys are brutal

 

Yes i do have an FD, got it in Sept. I know i would have to buy the IC piping to weld it on but i want an alternative for now. And the title of the thread is is it possible, then i continued it so it is relevant to what i was saying.

 

The "Kits" made for a certain car "Rx7- Kit" are not Weld on the Universal ones are, and need a flange, and a Bov....

 

wow you are lucky you are very young....and own an fd congrats bro

 

I dunno if I'm happy for him, or sad for the FD

 

Well definately dont feel sad for the FD, it is is VERY good hands no worries please. I take care of it just as good as most of you. It's almost impossible to post any threads on here that wont get bashed. I need to look harder next time instead of getting hammered over something so stupid and so small.

 

true if you would have type BOV in the title of this thread, the forum would have put a bunch of similar threads at the bottom of this one.

 

I sincerely "hope" that FD is in good hands, especially with someone who wants a psssshhtttttasshshsadf sound on their FD.....

 

whats so bad about wanting that?? Give me some good reasons, the car has a turbo and all turbos need BOV's and why not get one that makes a little noise, u cant tell me u dont like the sound.

 

1. can drown out other important sounds you should listen for.

 

It's a doubble edged sword, you will attract some attention with a loud Bov, that's good for the Teenie Boper Crowd, Bad for the Badge Holding one....

 

its bashed because there are many things that you could spend money on that would benefit your car dramatically for the same price but a BOV is unnecessary, obnoxious, rice

 

I meant to title it so that it corresponds to the topic. "Is it possible??" doesn't give anyone any clues what you're gonna ask before they open the thread and makes this thread useless if someone else has the same question later on and tries to search to see if someone has asked this before.

 

Mazdaspeed,
Aftermarket BOVs are expensive, plus you generally have to buy a seperate adapter that will fit your car. All the performance benefits (IMO) are perceived, not real. Despite what the advertisements say. The OEM BOV is effective and reliable.
For a while I vented mine to the atmosphere, just to see what all the talk was about. Admittedly at first I liked it. It was different . But after a while it just got to be annoying and I plugged it back in. I'll bet if you did a search, there are a several others here that came to the same conclusion. It's up to you, it's your car, but you may want to try that first for a few weeks... before you spend the money. Just my .02.

 

It's annoying. I must be old because I want mine not to make the "sound".

 

my BOV mists my IC during shifts because of my WI

 

dont worry i like the sound, and so do many other ppl on here your not the first and wont be the last.

 

Actually no turbo needs a BOV, some turbos don't even ahve By-pass valves. A blow off valve actually makes turbos spool down quicker, because it doesn't get re-introduced into your intake. Many higher horsepower turbo applications have blow off valves because a lot of by-pass valves don't have a big enough valve to release enough pressure in the turbo-manifold piping and causes backlash on the turbine inside the turbo. If you like that sound that much, but a nice radiator is a hundred dollars or maybe a little more in the forsale section and that is something that your car will like, and your pocket.

 

True...but you know what I just recently noticed (after swapping cars w/ my best friend for a night cruise...) screw the BOV...the noise of my turbos spooling is SOOO loud from outside the car. OMG...I LOVED it. It was hypnotic. But seriously, it was so loud I pulled up next to my friend and yelled "YO TAKE IT EASY W/ THE BOOST DAMNIT...CHILL OUT" and he yelled back "I'm still in vaccum!" I bet that'll attract attention a LOT quicker than my BOV (I'm guessing it's cuz of my Efini Y-pipe? I read that it makes the spooling sound louder??)

As for the BOV sound, I'll admit, I like the sound, but I've grown used to it, and I have the HKS SSQV, which is the nicest sounding one IMO. Now I don't even notice it anymore.

On the other hand, it DOES come in handy. Riding far left up someone's bumper and letting the BOV go off loudly is a sure fire way to move ppl out of your way, instead of hi-beaming or honking at them
