BOV selection

Postby Vickrin » Thu Jun 15, 2006 10:10 pm

Alright guys, i need some advice on a cheap BOV for my CA18DET. Im making custom piping so mounting will be fine but it needs to be re-circulating.
Can anyone recommend a common enough OEM bov to use ?

Evo ones are meant to be pretty good. Must be plenty of those floating around the show :lol:
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

^^^ What he said - make sure its an evo 4+ one though, the early ones all leak at 14psi approx (saftey backup for rusting WG actuators :lol: ).

The Evo 4 onwards ones will hold 20psi+ quite happily, and they're pretty cheap.

Sorry to jack the thread but is there a fairly quiet BOV available? Or a way to silence it or is plumb-back the best option? Going for subtle rather than show (noise in this case)

Anything plumb back is quiet :?

Anything which is venting air pressurised to 20psi is going to be doing bloody well to have no volume....
