Bov

[-FUZZY-]

Just wondering what you guys are using here??

and how's it sound??

thinking of getting one for a giggle seeing as the car is staying pretty much stock.

Standard

Take the plumb back hose off, block it with a rubber cap and BOV away. Sounds like an air dumping noise

...ive since plumbed it back in...

[emanuelt]

I had a HKS super sequential on while ago but sold it as a BOV on the auto doesn't work as well. In first gear sometimes it would stall after accelerating and stoping at low speed. As for the noise it doesn't do it on gear changes like a manual, but you could still get it to do it.

I think BOV are for manuals only. But hey give it a go its fun.

have you guys seen the new GoFastBits Deceptor Pro BOV?

I really want one once my Stagea arrives but at $719 i dont think i will be able to afford it any time soon

GFB Deceptor Pro

WOW, for $700 a BOV id rather not have a BOV and just rebuild the compressor wheel every time (debatable) the compresser surge kills it

what the hell does a $700 bov do, provide sexual favours, honestly..

well to answer your question, this $700 BOV allows you to control the amount of sound it gives off with the twist of a knob from inside the car, you can have it on full volume then turn it so that there is no sound at all, which is a great idea for when you are having to deal with the police and their defects

[AlexCim]

Ok, thats pretty cool i admit it

...but $700 bucks for an atmo BOV which only helps decrease the already crap milage by richening up over gearchanges, meh, i dont see the point

$700 bucks to me is 1/3 a GCG rebuild

each to their own ^_^

with the over richening though its a vent to atmo and recirculate so if installed properly then that shouldnt be much of a prob others are using similar bov's with no probs, but seriously though $700!!! thats just not worth it.

I've got a K&N filter that came with the car, then put an R34 CAI box on it and i get the bov noise, but i haven't removed the plumback pipe or installed a bov, so there's another option, just run a pod filter

[beastien]

Hey terminal, how well does the R34 CAI box fit? could we see some pics maybe?

I'm interested in a pod but as you know they're no good when suckin hot air from the engine bay.

[AMS]

Same here, also interested in the R34 CAI thingy....

My car has a 'slight' bov noise, all Im doing is running 10psi

[Terminal]

Yeah i'll get some pics tonight for you. i haven't sealed it 100% around the bottom of the AFM, but i have insulated the box, as it's just aluminium. air flows up from under the car behind the passenger side headlight and into the pod.

[AMS]

ahh ok. Cheers dude, sounds like somethign else I have to add to the Christmas list

I have a GFB Stealth, came with the car when I bought it, very nice to be able to twist it and make it louder or softer, but have to open the bonnet still to do it, but still, with my tune I dont have any problems with stalling or anything, but the stealth is a dual atmo/plumb back.

It's set to about half way atm, but my god it shakes all the windows within a 5km radius when it is set to full atmo

[Terminal]

heres my air box, it's a bit dirty

[neostagea]

yeah i got a gfb stealth on mine and it works well but 700 for the in cabin adjustable is a bit too much i rekon. i will contact my supplier get you a price on it and see how it compares. but i think i can get you one cheaper than that if u do really want it

i do want one, however it will be a few months before i get my stagea, and i wont be doing any spending until i have the stagea on the road, i dont want to spend to much money and end up not having enough to get the car registered.

[beastien]

Where did you get the CAI box from Terminal? If you don't mind me asking

[Terminal]

from someone on the forums doing a group buy of R33 and R34 air boxes. i got one for and R33 and R34 to see which would fit better, but they're about the same. i gave the R33 one away to a mate though.

i don't know if the group buy is still up, it was a while ago
