Which B.O.V. reigns Supreme?

[2slow2go]

Currently i'm in the process of getting parts for my sr20det swap. When sourcing for parts one question comes to mind,which blow off valve reign s supreme?

For my current set-up i plan to run out 250wph or so. Looking around on youtube i noticed that the hks ssqv sounds the best. I noticed that there are the older and newer versions of this one, which one is best?

As far as looking for one, what specs should i be looking for?

Another question is the placement of the BOVs---after intake, between the intercooler to turbo( i don't know the correct names, cold pipe hot pipe?ect). Where should it be put?

Btw; can someone school me on recirculating part of blow offs? Like a easy to understand way. I looked at some recirc. like this one for the hks HKS USA SSQV Recirculation Fitting (http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=798) but i'm not really sure how i would connect it.

Like for a bov i undestand you need a vacuum line and blow off flange and thats it right? but then with that it might stumble in between shifts? or bad idle? and thats where the recirc. part comes in.

Pfffft...HKS? Greddy Type-R BOV FTW!!!

If youre only shooting 250whp and recircing it, fuck it and stay with stock BOV.

srslyyyyyy

[Addicted2Kouki]

The recirc fitting goes in place of the fin on the hks bov.

honestly, you arent pushing a shitload of horsepower or boost so you can basically run any outta the box bov [hks, greddy, blitz, etc]
all of them pretty much do the same thing.

with the new hks bov you wont need to recirc because its self adjusting, but its always better.



edit: LOL Adrian.

I have the old HKS Race one that looks like the Greddy Type R and I love it!

No, high pitched noise or anything, it just dumps. Pretty quiet IMO.

I used to have the Greddy Type S, it was ok but let me down from videos I had heard on a bad camera evidentally.

This is going to all be personal preference man.

[rbpowerds14]

big power-type-R

for u-stock

[drifter_for_life06]

if you adjust it tight enough it shouldnt stumble or have a bad idle....just dont do it too tight as to where it wont open

[deukalionS14]

i got the synapse BOV and love it!

[hOngsterr]

synapse responds fast from what i hear and see lol,
there's similar threads out there talking bout their set ups,
i recommend the blitz DD

[raf702]

<~~Sard R2D2, but I miss the HKS SSQV =(

[IiS14iI]

srslyyyyyy
lol ya wat he said

[Sleepy240]

No BOV is ftw... but if you do run one get one that recircs so we dont have to have another topic on why my SR stalls at a redlight or hesitates blah blah blah....

this should clear up about the easiest location of BOV along with how to recirc it

^ hahahahahaha Type R ftw. wanna buy mine? pm me

[!Zar!]

You have four ways to go.

Sard r2d2 (no complaints that I remember)

Hks ssqv adjustable version. (rubber diaphragm goes bad after not too long rendering the bov pretty useless).

No bov at all (throttle response!)

Tial (too big)

I've used each of these ways.

[stillen]

Just dont get greddy type rs because it will start leaking on you in a couple of months and the only way is to recirculate it or you will stall and idle rough all the time.

[chuy]

i got the synapse BOV and love it!


I got the Synapse also

[Rittmeister]

I use a Forge. Works good. Install and go, no adjusting necessary.

I'll never understand why people buy a BOV based on the sound it makes. Proper function > coolness factor, if any. Same argument for not recirculating it on a MAF-based car...

[clark]

lol don't stick with the stock one, mine just got fuggin stuck today. i was waiting for it to happen.

just take the BOV off and block off the bungs like zar said.

[drifter_for_life06]

idk rather deal with a bov then have compressor surge

[aziankingz]

what about a dsm bov from a 1g?

[idahotuner]

HKS SSQ self adjusting

[LA_phantom_240]

idk rather deal with a bov then have compressor surge

250whp goal... I'm pretty sure compressor surge isn't going to affect the setup.

[corey240]

I am looking into getting the synapse one. It sounds very interesting to use. Id buy that over my ssq.

[Sleepy240]

Pretty sure compressor surge is a joke and a half but lets not turn this into that type of thread...

Because 99% of repituable companies BOV's are among the same quality. IMO Greddy, HKS, Blitz, Sard etc are all totally interchangable. The only real reason to pick one over another is because of the coolness factor :blah: Or people can man up and stop running a super cool sounding BOV on their stock SR

[opponheimer]

eBay adjustable knockoff ssqv for the win $60 and works perfect (i've used 4 of them)

[Flicktitty]

HKS SSQV... ALOT of top cars/shops run them and support them.

or go TIAL, but that is too big for your needs.

[rc1honda]

HKS sounds the best and i never had a problem with mine. And the super pimp purple when you look down into the trumpet.

[slider2828]

SSQV gen 1 with recirculating.... hahahah Don't bye the fake gen 1's out there cause there are a lot...

[drifter_for_life06]

true... forget i said that

[LA_phantom_240]

true... forget i said that

As good as done, lol.

[timlush]

Tial (too big)


Too big in what way? Physically too big? (gets in the way, clutters things, etc...)

Or too big to function properly on our cars?

Hes running like 7psi are you serious right now?

\wrists

[MandTPhotography]

HKS SSQV with no insert FTW

[Folken]

i dont' know what the big deal is about buying a BOV, I have a HKS and love it. I only got it for the sweet sound and the comp surge is just a reason I say. God knows the $150 broke my bank and heaven forbid i get alil more enjoyment out of my car

your turbo is not gonna esplode, waste $150 on some sportmaxs or something more productive:wan:

[VQMaxFan]

I like my type H TurboXS, doesnt sound nearly as crappy as the regular horn style RFL.

[Vision Garage]

Im running an apexi twin chamber BOV and its fine with me. non circulated on rb25

[QuickSpoolSR]

when i get one for my swap, i want the most obnoxious loud one. I have heard the r2d2 is the way to go for that, what other ones are really loud?

[S14DB]

R2D2 is good if you want the loud air brake sound. Tial is close too.

TurboXS RFL if you want the rice whistle.

[Zerolift Autolab]

HKS SSQV for lower boost apps or smaller turbos
HKS Race for higher boost or larger turbos

Physically.

Uhh wut.

[drifter_for_life06]
