why r b.o.v illegal ??

[stooj]

why r blow off valves illegal ??

[Guest RedLineGTR]

noise....it can also distract drivers..and scare some bike riders.

[stooj]

but what about harley's they re much louder and other cars with big exhaust systems theyre loud i just dont get it hey r there any b.o.v that r legal ?

some of the more quiter ones perhaps?

[MarkR33]

most turbo cars come fitted with factory ones, i know on my r33 before i modify it when the pressure plate is closed i hear a little wheeeeeesh , sounds rather pathetic but it comes factory standard , its just the ones with the loud PSSSHHT that are illegal as someone said , due to ' environment reasons' if 1 person considers the sound offensive (including your fridge making too much noise) it can be then considered offensive under the epa acts in various states, i know it varies and some it doesnt so check with ur state but in WA i havent been questioned too much about mine, maybe its more strict in some states

[caminperth]

A BOV vents potentially polluted air to atmosphere. Combine that with the amount of noise created and thats why....

[stooj]

that s a good point 'camin' , mark 33 u say u havent been questioned much.... come up to geraldton an see how long your windscreen stays sticker free!

[caminperth]

Stooj - in my previous post I meant external BOV. Stock ones vent back into the system.

Gerro cops are pretty bored hey? I've had cops round here look under the bonnet - get confused and give up. Another one - whilst giving me a fine - asked me if he should have a look under the bonnet. I said - no officer, it's all legal under there - he said - ok - and left it at that!

[stooj]

u r one lucky bastard

in gero once u get a sticker on an import it rarley comes off 4 long

my friend own an 94 r33 gts-t an just recently had it passed then stickered 2 days after it was passed by the same cop that gave him his last three , and he still has a sticker on it

If they looked under mine theyd think ive got some sort of secondary intake filter. I have my BOV silenced with a piece of foam which is tidily O Clamped into place. Looks a bit like one of them foamie socks you stick on quad throttle body flutes.

stooj,

u from gero mate?

im originally from that hole lol

how are the bogans with the commies goin? lol

[summoner]

Bovs also effect your emmisions from exhaust.

This is also a matter regarding vent to atmosphere bovs. Plumb backs you can get permits for

[rev210]

Good thing the factory skyline BOV is good, so you don't need to change it unless your a rice boy type , lets face it if you don't get a yellow for the BOV you get one for the neons

[summoner]

well on my cefiro i've had to change it since the stock 1 was dead. Now its got a nice Greddy Type-s plumb back which i'll get permits for once she's licensed

by the way u should come up 4 a day to see how much its changed......errrr......hasnt changed

[red17]

sumna, the RB20 bov is f'in loud almost all the time no matter what condition its in, especially if you have a pod filter. Was it really sensitive too? go off just feathering the throttle?

I replaced mine with a much quieter atmo venting bov (Thats not a typo). However ive still silenced this one, coz the noise is plain wanky.

[summoner]

yeh it wasnt that quiet.. only drove it once though with it. Havent driven with new 1. Yeh was kinda sensative didnt need much boost for a flutter.
