forge bpv version 2

[spdjnke]

are the 2 versions cosmetically the same? I haven't seen a V2 one so

I bought my Forge V2 from Str33t Un1t. I received it very fast.

Version 1 and version 2 look completely different.

I found with my stock intake, the V2 was a little tight, but caused no issues. The recirc hose lightly touched the stock intake box, but like I said, it was not a problem.

v2 looks pretty cool, but on SU they only show one angle, curious how the hose end of it looks like, anyone care to post a pic of it installed?

 

[79535]

I will grab a picture when I can. My car is at Mazda right now though so it wouldn't be until at least Tuesday.

I found this picture. It is from the MSF. There is a write up there.

It looks way better in black.

 

[spdjnke]

wow that looks so simple, would have thought they would have made it look like the v1 which looks more stock but just better. nevertheless I'm sure you all love it, since after all it is made by FORGE

this BPV is Ugly

 

[spdjnke]

it looks just like a GAS canister that SWAT fires.

At least it doesn't sound like a medieval battle is taking place under your hood

It is a lot better looking in black and in person and installed. Trust me.

Like I said, I will grab pics when I get around to visiting Mazda on Tuesday most likely. It should give a better indication of what it looks like.

 

[spdjnke]

cool look forward to seeing it.

 

[79535]

Sorry, a day late but oh well.

Probably not as artsy as you are all used to but oh well!

And a link to an album with a few more pictures of the valve.

Before it's said, yes the engine bay is dirty. It has been a mixture of rain and mini dust storms for the last 2 weeks.

I enjoy the joust under the hood.(drive2)

man I have to say it's amazing how every manufacture keeps making them smaller and smaller and still be effective.. Wish they would offer them in colors and not just silver and black.

Like purple? (butt)

Just kidding. You would think they would offer custom powder coating on them.

 

[spdjnke]

anything but the standard 2, alot of us do compete in car shows, so matching is a big deal for points..

 

[spdjnke]

Does anyone have a you tube bit on what the V2 sounds like??

 

[79535]

I suppose I could try to get one and post it up when I get my car back from Mazda.

I think there is 1 video floating around somewhere. Not very helpful, I know.

i posted video on page 1 or 2....its on cx-7, but you get the point.

 

[spdjnke]

Cool, thanks guys, it sound's just like the SU turbosmart BPV so I guess either is good.

 

[MM BOOST]

much louder than su turbosmart. I have su turbosmart and I am looking to sell it to get the forge v2. My turbosmart is quietttttt...but I have 3" exhaust with just straight through muffler and high flow cat, and cobb sri with medieval turbo inlet...so I guess the rest of the car kinda mutes it lol. But the forge is def louder.

 

[spdjnke]

yeah i guess your right, turbosmart is a bit quieter, but still quality on both is excellent.
