Could you a BOV other than the Blitz one? I heard Skimax used the Greddy Type S BOV. I wonder how did that sound compared to the Blitz? And what about the HKS SS BOV? Even on Matt's 5spd S/C car, I didn't really hear much of a BOV sound. I know the Blitz bolts right on. Does the Type S or HKS require some modification?

I believe everything besides the Blitz one requires some modification. Also, I think anything besides the blitz voids the warranty on the SC.

If you find out anything, let me know. This is something I've been wondering too, and now I just may have be needing a BOV soon.

 

Lots of companies make BOV's. TiAL, Blitz, HKS, Sard, GReddy, etc.. Most should bolt on with the help of a universal installation kit(IE, 1/2 inch flange for ~$25). The reason you might not have heard the BOV is because the boost didn't build enough pressure to give the Pssssht sound, or the BOV is plumbed back into the intake system..

 

The HKS BOV sounds

 

Well, the warranty is already voided on my SC because I changed the stock pulley out to a smaller one.

 

Stilens warenty is void, but vortechs is not.

 

Matt, so when would you be able to help me finish off the gauge install?

 

Now, why would you need a BOV?

I thought you were all show and no go....

 

Did I mention the HKS BOV sounds ?


I like it!!!

 

Problem is duplicating that sound on an automagic cars like ours.

 

turbo BOV's sound nice,

 

Wich HKS, the SS on my car dosent really woosh either.

 

Sunday after the game? Ive got allot of hunnie dew's to do this weekend, Antons 1st B-Day party is next week and the wife want the house ship shape... I'll get to ya though.

 

Ok, Sunday is fine. Btw, do you have the parts necessary to do the cai except the filter of course? Maybe I can buy the parts from you and try to find the right size filter on my own. Then, I can do the cai mod myself, it doesn't look too hard. I just need the parts. I'll stop Sunday after the game then. Thanks.

 

When did I say that? I just focused on the show aspect first. I've got a few plans I'm working on right now for the go part.

 

The SS... it doesn't woosh?!?! I guess we're not boosting high enough.

 

Yup...

 

i like the BOV sound

 

heheh that HKS juss doesnt sound normal on your blowers eh? ask the turbo guys if they ever have probs with their HKS not making a nice wooosh sound.

 

I guess I need s 3.125" midget too

 

The lust for more power will never end, that is why I need a 3.25 kungfu chop of power!
