Wouldnt it make no difference how many BOVs are fitted in relation to holding boost?

1,2, 5 or 10 of them fitted I thought would not give any increase in boost holding ability.

e.g If you had one of the plastic Bosch BOV and it leaked at 10psi I thought fitting another one would result in both of them leaking at 10psi?

I always thought the reason for having more than one BOV was for when running higher boost levels (36psi) it gave more total cfm release as only one fitted would struggle to vent all the excess pressure/air?

They would just share the pressure.

Each would pass half the air a single unit would vent.

Get two coke cans, shake them.

Poke one hole in can A.

Poke two holes in can B.

The pressure of the liquid ejected from Can B, will be half the pressure ejected from Can A.

Twice the total CFM, half the pressure.

They would just share the pressure.

Each would pass half the air a single unit would vent.

No Each would pass half the air of one.

As the BOV is set at a X pressure they would release at the same time

under the same pressure but would escape twice as fast

Get two coke cans, shake them.

Poke two holes in can B.

The pressure of the liquid ejected from Can B, will be half the pressure ejected from Can A.

Twice the total CFM, half the pressure.

Cant use the can theory here. Its Not the same as BOV as the BOV is pressure set.

Twice the CFM but same pressure as a single BOV.

:D

To combat boost holding problems, dont companies have varying strength springs that you can install? My cousins 1JZ's blow off valve had a different spring in it, so it would blowoff at lower pressures because he was running low boost...

The spring constant determines how hard a spring is, get a stiff spring fabricated to suit?

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
