Bov Options

[peterm13]

Just installed fmic on my s14 , currently just blocked bov pipe,as i am waiting on a new hose to connect the stock plumbak bov.

I do have an HKS ssq atmo bov, considering installing this with a re-circulation fitting, but this would not vent back through the stock return line. i still want some sound when i bak off/ shift up etc,

are there any adjustments that can be made to stock bov to get more sound/ flutter or whatever, this would be ideal but getting the engine to run at its best is more important to me.

as i see it these are my options -

*connect bak the stock bov

*adjust stock bov for more noise ( possible? )

*connect HKS bov with re-circ fitting

what do you think/ reccomend ?

thanks in advance

Hook the stocker back up, if you want a bit more flutter, you can squash the top of the BOV down in a vice if you really feel the need.

If you blocked off the pipes to the bov, it will flutter.

stock S14 bov setup with more than stock boost will flutter.

the bov return line is too small (as it goes over the front of the engine block) so it can't dump as much air as it needs and it flutters.

to make it louder, get yourself a pod filter.

(I don't condone any of these, just answering your question)

im not asking how to get flutter. ( already have pod, and flutters like crazy )

just want to know which bov will make some kind of sound and work best.

bovs don't make flutter sounds.. so NO bov makes similar sound.

what works best?

one that can dump the air it neesd to without flutter sound.

the stock one CAN do this, but it needs larger diameter return pipe.

ATMO venting ones are of no use on an AFM equiped car.

stock bov is the best mate, period.

I am in the same boat... I got a HKS SSQV - sounds tough as with the pod... but after 1 week, it started to stall like a bitch as most cars with an AFM will.... so I decided to go stock... damn, I really miss the ssshhttt sound but rather have it running smoothly.

Did you consider getting the re-circ fitting for it? that would've been another option to solve stalling issues. right?

will probably fit the hks ssqv see how it is, ( with/without re-circ). any issues and i will change it back to stock.

thanks

HKS SSQV best sound

TRUST type R best function for big turbs

std bov works fine

No bov is fine also.
