Why do you need a blow-off valve for a non-turbo? I know, i know, you want the car to make that sound right? Very Happy

psst… psst… funny thing, becos quite a few of my friends are getting rid of their BOV from their cars becos it attracts too much attention… esp from the gay boys otherwise called TPs.

But i do find it a bit lame to install it. Might have trouble with ROV.

you can install into it with a bit of modification….. I seen before the baby subaru having that….If u r thinking of getting one get the cheapest one in town some of the BOV are specially design for brands of cars…..actually it is quite irritiating to the driver after some time…... I personally hate and regreted installing one into my Rex…...

So which BOV are you using? Everyone seems to have the HKS SSQV… you wanna get rid of it? hehehe…

Praetorian111 SG

Ya that’s the one….. this one is expensive but you dun have to have a bracket to mount it on that why most prefer to have it….. instead of other brands like blitz…. somemore the sound is the best of all the BOV….. How much are you willing to pay?? I am willing to part with it if I am given a gd price….. cos the BOV is at most 1mth old…..

fun to me is not having a BOV to ppffffttthhh at everybody. that is just so poser. and noisy. and irritating. if i wanted to hear sneezing i'd visit the flu ward at any hospitals in singapore.

But besides the sound… what does it do for the car’s performance???

[email protected] SG

nothing. if u dun have a turbo, it doesn't really have any effect

blow-off valves aint really usefull, really doubt pple who have them installed really know wats the function of it anot… install wastegate, 10x better, i swear

kidmccoy SG

i dont tink theres much point having a bov unless you got a turbo anyways
too ricy

[email protected] SG

blow off valve to "blow" people as its name suggests? haha...

STiYaKuzA SG

i think the actual function of BOVs is to release excess pressure at the release of accel pedal at high rpm or at gear shift at high rpm. damn funny to imagine a 1.6 ts riced up to look like an sti, with BOV somemore, then scully got one real sti wan to race with it Laughing

[email protected] SG

thats correct. its meant to prevent backpressure from slowing down the turbo turbine. when a car with a turbo and no BOV changes gear, the back pressure of exhaust gases will cause the turbo to slow down, hence increasing turbo lag time.

hahaha I came across a magazine that state that there are something known as a turbo simulator for NA cars.... but it is $380 over..... I think plus installation $40 it is close to what I pay for my HKS BOV.....
I got my BOV to prolong the life of the turbo but I do not know that it is so irritiating.... hahahha..... guess I just cannot have the best of two world when I rev too high..... cos the sound mostly can only be heard at 2000RMP and gets louder and louder if you rev higher.....
