where can i find a good price on a BOV
Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy an aftermarket blow off valve but the only ones i can find are like 350$. Can someone tell me a good brand to get and where to get them at a good price? thanks |
Much like with most things, you get what you pay for. IIRC TurboXS(not to be confused with XS Power) BOVs are pretty cheap, like between 100-200. But TurboXS BOVs tend to be really loud...
Are you running a single turbo? is there something wrong with your stock BOV? With stock twins, the stock BOVs are usually your best bet. |
i was just looking for a sound improvement, although if the stock BOV is better for my turbos i will keep it..
and yeah i am still on twin stocks |
Here's the thing:
If you still have stock piping, then you need a BOV that comes as a "kit". The kit will come with a vehicle specific flange to use. Otherwise, they expect you to weld up a flange on a hard IC pipe and mount the BOV there. If you are on stock piping, that ain't going to happen. Take a look here: http://www.rx7store.net/category_s/136.htm You'll see that some say "kit" and some say "universal". Universal means you'll have to figure out your own mounting. |
thanks i think i will get the greddy kit! thanks for the good info

all i did was pop the pipe from the stock BOV..that lead to the air box. sounds just as sweet as a 300 dollar bov to me!

Are you really going to drop over $200 on BOV just for a sound improvement? Wow, you must be loaded.

I did. I didn't say that an aftermarket BOV had no benefits. All I said is that I was surprised that he was willing to buy it solely for sound improvement.

Then you and I have something in common. :biggrin:

Keep in mind that with all the neat new "sounds" you're going to be beating on the car more and more.
Have spare cash ready for reliability which I would do first, but I won't get into that. :) |
all this input is awesome. I do have some money to drop so i am not worried about spending it on a BOV. I am in Japan right now so i only paid 2g's for my 7 with 60,000miles on it. It already has mods and i really don't care to do anything else to the engine so i just want that sound that i have always loved.
i have already done stuff like new fuel filter, tranny flush, coolant flush, replaced the coolant tank thingy (the army green one) and all that good stuff so now i am just working on little interior improvements and stuff like that. if you are interested in info on my jap spec 92 then read here for a lot of info and pics https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/should-i-buy-1992-3rd-gen-jdm-rx7-732540/ |
very nice, buy what you want, dont settle for cheap crap, I would spend alot of money on a great BOV sound as well if thats what it took, cuz it would make me happy to hear it, so the money was then well spent.

i think i will get the greddy kit that mahjik provided a link to! i can't wait now
