BOV: Spring, Valve, or Piston

[kazuo]

DISCUSS!

Basically I've narrowed it down to the following three... I plan to recirculate them all but I want something thats gonna hold bost well and not leak. I might eventually go back to atmospheric.

HKS SSQV (valve)
ATP Turbo BOV (dunno.. valve?)
ARC Type NS BOV (spring I think)

Advantages/disadvantages to the different types of valves (piston/valve/spring)?

Yeah. The only ones that I know are piston type are the Blitz valves, but I think the DD might be spring type.

Anyway, discuss!

They all suck!
well ur have first hand with piston, it seems to suck so ya.
A lot of people run hks with out problems.

You forgot to mention sheepdog haha.

I say get the ATP one... but thats cause Im curious on how well it works :) IIRC it's a valve type as well. but if your going to recirculate it anyway I say go with the HKS racing bypass vavle. I mean if your gonna recirculate get something that was designed specifically for that.

im running the arc non recirculated.. it holds boost like a champ.. and doesnt leak...i like it...

[Muzzy]

valve-o-matic!! i like my apex'i valve type BOV. i know u cant recirc it but i like the design of it and function. i've had no probs with it

Art you already know what i got. Apex dual chamber. It sucks so bad i'd trade it for a can of beans.

[Muzzy]

lol y?? wuts wrong with yours??? mines just fine

[Var]

it surges every time i'm boosting and let off from full throttle to part throttle

[Muzzy]

how much boost u runnin and wut hole u got it on??

[Var]

the holes are all open and i'm running 11psi. when i bought the car it was missing the adjustment ring,

[Muzzy]

wow..i think jus yours sux...mine is perfect. the only time it really surged was when i had it on the tiny holes

[kazuo]

From what I've read (on FA), the Apex'i valves start to leak after time. The only ones I've read good things about after sustained use are the GReddy/TRUST Racing BOV, and the HKS SSQV/Race BOVs.

Steeles: I'm buying the SSQV cus its cheaper than the recirc specific one (in Japan), and the recirc fitting costs $10 for the SSQV.

I dislike the sound of the SSQV, but seeing that it will be primarily recirculated, I could care less. :)

I MIGHT still go with the ARC valve tho.. I am a ARC whore :) Anyone else own/owned one and care to chime in?

Thanks guys

YOU SELL OUT what happend to everithing ARC? ARC radiator, IC blabalbla
Dont go with HKS everyone gots that. Get an ARC if you want to still be JDM tyte.

Seriously, I thought we were going to get some arc bov though. Now your changing your mind, trying to cheat on me?

[street assassin]

I would personally go with a Baileys.

I love my ssqv, and ive heard nothing but good from them, people say they sound like a turkey but i think it sounds good, not real loud but good. advantage is the dual valve shit, donno really how it works but it does.
