bov reliability

[fr0st]

can a bov break? or wear out?

can they be rebuilded? are there kits for that??

i bought an apexi dual chamber used and i am wondering those things..

is there a way to test it without installing it?

[fr0st]

so it must be reliabe then.. since no one knows if/when they break LOL

Honestly dude, I have never heard of that problem. If anything wrenching down on the tensioning to much wouldn't be to good to do.

 

[JCell]

yeah, me neither.

only if maybe something got caught in it or something, but that's unlikely.

Sometimes if the BOV has an internal diaphragm design, the diaphragm can eventually wear out causing a boost leak. I havent had this happen to me, just heard about it though.

I highly doubt you would encounter that sort of problem unless you have had the BOV for way too long.

I know this is irrelevant, but the RFL is what is ran. That BOV was the s***. I sounded like a damn school bus coming down the street.

whats RFL??

 

[fr0st]

nah like i said, i heard of that happening.. but never saw one doing it..

that why i was asking.. i got a good price on the apexi bov with the pipe already flanged for it.. and when i make/install my hard piping i don't wanna have a leak problem, thinking it's the piping and end up it's the bov ..or whatever problem can arise from it.

oh and i hope those dualchambers are LOUD.. i want LOUD

thanks

whats RFL??

RFL=Really ******* Loud. Its a BOV from TURBOXS

RFL=Really ******* Load. Its a BOV from TURBOXS

is it as bad as on an srt-4??

 

[Spoolin4]

what do you mean on an SRT4?

 

[fr0st]

what do you mean on an SRT4?

neon SRT-4 with the mopar BOV i believe... it's loud it's almost not believable..

s*** my best friend has an SRT4 and it doesn't have s*** on my car. Pull up beside someone with there window down and blow off. You can see their hair blow back.(not really, but you get the point.)

i was riding my race bike last summer and some guy with a very tweaked out mopar stage 2 srt4 pulls up beside me and and does a WOT in neutral and lets it go with a big PSSSSST.. i wasn,t paying attention much.. i was looking at 2 girls in a miata on the other side.. i almost had a heart attack..

then we took off from a stop light i wheelied, and took off in front of him like it was a ford tempo.. no challenge, i know.. but that teached him that you can't win them all (evil)

That dude's car had to have an aftermarket BOV. They come with a Bypass Valve but not a BOV.
I love scaring the s*** out of people by blowing off on them.(hump)

nah i think mopar performance or something makes one.. there are ALOt of srt-4s here and ALL of them have that sick noise..

forgemotorsports sells a direct replacement of the BPV we have in fullly machined aluminum. not many people running it though, most likely cuz nobody really has a problem with their stock BPV. not sure if the Forge one flows better or not. http://www.forgemotorsport.com/content.asp?inc=product&cat=2002&product=FMDVMSP02

I just checked with a buddy of mine and "he said" that non of them come with a BOV. I dunno I'm just going off what he said and i also googled it and all I found out was that they have a BPV not BOV.

Honestly I will probably run the HKS SS on this build. They are not as load, but they look good as hell.
