I'm planning to replace the BOV on my ST185CS. Right now I'm using a
cheapo unit hanging off a Samco T-hose between the IC and the tubby,
this one makes a loud but not too sophisticated (simple "psssh") noise.
The basic sound alone wouldn't be enough for me wanting to replace
it but there are some mechanical design issues with it and I'm also
wanting to put it to a different location in a different way to make it
blow off the surge faster and more efficiently. In fact it's effectiveness
is a more important factor than it's sound but still, when I'm walking
around in the city I'm used hear a lot of great BOV noises out there
so the sound of it is definitely going to be a factor when choosing
the successor.
I would like to try to collect sounds (wav, mp3, etc.) of different BOVs,
like Greddy S/RS/R, Sard R2D2, HKS SSQV, and so on. I guess many
of you could also use this information when choosing a new BOV so
I hope some of you will contribute. This tells you that I'm a naive
optimist, huh? One must be when owning a "Four" you know...
When attaching/linking a sound file, please indicate both the power
level of the car and the boost pressure used if possible because these
factors may alter the sound of those BOVs radically.
Of course any technical comments or advices are also welcome
(not to buy this or that BOV because it fails too often etc. this sort of stuff)
Thanks in advance!
