I have the blitz dd bov and it wont be nearly that loud, for some reason it seems loud in videos but is quiet in reality, but i prefer that though. If you want that loud woosh sound then go with the turbo xs rfl. Or for a cheap and effective solution, just vent the stock bov.

Either way your car wont sound like that f40

BOV sound is also related to boost pressure. The higher the boost the louder the BOV will be.

but i havent got BOV at all dont even know how it should be connected or anything... i want something loud tho

rx7rcer09

you have a stock bov, how else would the car be able to vent the pressure off, i personally have 2 turbo xs bov's and there loud it also helps that im running a open wastegate.

Yes you do have a "bov", its known as your ABV. You can vent that, and plug the hole where originally that hose went to.

You will then hear some "noise".

personally, i liked the sound of the stock unite vented to the atmosphere, i think it sounded great. though i have to say, it sounded best around 2 - 3k rpm, higher than that, even at mid throttle it sounded kinda weak, not entirely sure why tho.

vent the stock BOV to the atmosphere and you will get the sound that you want

ALOT of car guys prefer HKS bov's.

I have an HKS ssqv.

It sounds like this, its even on an FD to get a perfect example.

guys....

please take a look:

i havent got BOV......or if i have please tell me where it is(2nd page i think)

this hks sound wocked and its cheap as well

but do they brake? i mean i can get a really nice bov 2nd hand one for like nothing but im just worried if there could be something wrong with it...

the hks unit is probably the BEST made bov on the market, that or tial, no issues with quality. I used to have one, but just got too annoying on long trips. The bov is connect to the black rubber hose thats comes out of the center of the y-pipe. The stock bov itself has a brown top.

So you discovered your CRV, did you check to see if you see another piece that looks EXACTLY like that?

If not, then you are right, you dont have a "bov" present which i can assume is bad. There is a hose that you will see that runs to your CRV. Now find ANOTHER hose that looks exactly like that, thats where the "bov" or ABV is supposed to be and tell us what is or is NOT connected.

I think now its time to get a bov of your choice.

sickboy2345

thats why i started this thread mate...prophet helped me with everything i didnt know about , if you went through the whole topic you would see that the pipe that should be there and should have bov on it is not there...the output for it has been blanked off...

now i need bov and need to find out how to install it as i have never seen how the stock one needs to be connected...

1QWIK7

Get a bov first.

The rest is easy.

The port off the y-pipe, you need a rubber hose to go from THAT to the bov.

Now off your UIM (upper intake manifold) where i asked you why the 2 nipples are capped. You take one nipple and run a vaccum hose from one nipple to the nipple of the bov.

Voila. The other nipple is usually tied into for a boost gauge.

But do this step by step. Dont go crazy and take your time. Any help you need and we're always here.

I personally like the HKS SSQV, it looks and sounds great, oh and that's an f50, not an f40

sickboy2345

ok but can i buy a 2nd hand one? i found these ones:

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_t...w=bov+rx7+fd3s

i mean i dont know how it works and if it brakes(if its possible ) or is it just one of them things i cant go wrong with? if its ok to get a 2nd hand one i will go for one of them (id like to know how they would sound first but hey...its only 69 quid) im gettin' an FMIC this month so i wont be able to spend 250 for a brand new one...

btw:

i have seen BOV's welded to the IC pipes or intake elbow, what is the difference in mounting it this/the other way?

The HKS also has interchangeable inserts you can purchase for different effects. The standard insert (silver 3 fin) causes the whistle, the gold 3 fin causes a slightly higher pitched whistle, and the purple open insert causes a woosh

Yeah I noticed this too and thought it looked cool but didn't know if it had any benefits or anything.

And Mazdatim thanks for the info, I didn't know that they had that.

sickboy2345

anyone?

sickboy2345

ok i got a stock BOV it was cheap and will do for now

what did you guys mean by "venting the BOV" ? how do i do that?

Rx72Heaven

iTrader: (2)

jesus. 2 pages on what BOV. dosent matter what BOV if your doing sstock pressure. It starts to matter once you go singles and boost 20 PSi then you need to wonder what BOV. So ANY.

Take the rubber tube off the airbox that runs to the ABV(BOV) and plug the hole on the airbox with a grommet. Now your BOV will vent to atmosphere, therefore... PSHHHH

well the turbo xs RFL is pretty loud...
