just installed hks bov

[clos561]

i jsut installed my hks bov vta, jstu curious if anyoen else has vta setup and if they noticed any difference in acceleration. i want to run recirc but i couldnt fit the hose without pinching it with the stock airbox , so ill probably jsut run it vta untill i get a cai which should allow me to run the recirc hose without a problem

I have a cold air and with mine set up recirc. the hose is really kinked. I was wondering if anyone had a solution for fixing that.

The fix is to not waste money on a part that isn't broke.
Has anyone proved there is a need to change the factory BPV ? Other than for BLING.

This is just my thought. i added a BPV valve to my other turbo car cause from the factory it doesn't have one.

Maybe he has more money then you and dont care how he spends it.Maybe he likes bling.There is no reason for your post.People replace things all the time that are not broke so please stfu.Keep your thoughts in your head and not ours.

How many people wait for their turbos to break before they upgrade them? Or how about a better example, the first mod lots of people do are CAIs, have you ever seen someone do that out of pure need do to something being broken? Do you have a usefull solution.

 

[clos561]

i upgraded it because i figured its better than a "plastic" bpv i didnt run it recric because the hose was kinked like the other guy said and i was hoping it would fit with the mazdaspeed cai but guess not....does anyone know how to fix the kink to run recirc?

i was going to buy the cai but i got the hks instead, it turns alot of heads when it releases and i got 3 races today and won all...definitely breakn necks more than usual now with this thing on but i want to run recirc.

Actually there was a reason for my post and your the reason. I always get a kick from peeps on the net that are so quick to get defensive.
Question...... WHY do you care what i have to say....................... I stated my OPINION. Its a forum board i'm allowed that. (bird)

Do i have a solution, NO. i won't be buying a aftermarket BOV. So i won't have a chance to experience your problem.

I like bling like the next guy don't get me wrong, but its my understanding (haven't heard first hand) that with a CAI, the Factory BPV is very audible. So if you get the sound and it works normal , why change it.
Want bling, paint it chrome........... (enguard)

People replace parts to gain SOMETHING. CAI is worth like 20hp at the wheels, hell thats pretty good in my book. I plan on doing it.
DP and exhaust give more power, bigger turbo net more power, see the trend here.
What does a VTA BOV do for you, other than causing stumbling issues in normal driving. Not everyone drives WOT all the time. If its sound you like , you get that with the factory piece, maybe not as loud, but after a while it gets old anyways. IMO
I upgraded the turbo on my other car because i needed MORE airflow for my HP goals. Hell i even added a Forge BPV to the system, because my setup did not come with a Recir system for the turbo.

IMO a BOV just a waste of money. I'm sorry but i can't see ANY gain from the mod other than to say you have it. Now if someone proves that the Factory BPV can't hold Boost, then YES it is an upgrade. I guess i'm thinking realistically. I love spending money on cars, but i learned a long while back if you want performance then buy Good parts and install them CORRECTLY. If it happens to be bling and people can see it, its a perk. In General I don't waste my money on parts that don't give me some kind of noticable gain or strengthen my setup.
I have no solution because i don't have this problem. if you would like to come by one day i'll gladly look at it and give my input on how to fix it so the hose doesn't get "kinked".

You just said here that you have NO solution..THat is why you should of stfu in the first post.There was NO reason for that post.
Your explanation is pathetic.Dont worry about what other people want to do with there money.Figure out another way to get your post count higher and not just by flaming.

 

[clos561]

what is the actual benefit from a bov? for now im running vta but thats not what i want to run i jstu cant fit the hose....

 

[justa4banger]

Purpose of a BOV/BPV

When you are in boost and you close the throttle plate for shifting/decel, the pressure builds up from the plate to the turbo. This slows the turbo down and can also cause damage to the turbo if the boost is high enough/done frequently. the BOV releases this air to keep the turbo SPOOLED (this decreases the lag time of the turbo), and to save the turbo from surging. BOV work great on Speed density cars where the computer only measures the air in the intake along with air pressure etc etc. With a MAF your actually METERING the air coming in the motor before the turbo, well since BOV VTA after the MAF, the computer still thinks that the air is SOME WHERE in the system and adds fuel for the air. BUT since the air is not in the system you get an over rich condition thats cause stumbling and decel stumbles while driving normally.

Only time BOV/BPV can help you MAKE power is when a previous BOV/BPV is leaking and the system can't sustain higher boost.

As for MR . I don't like Smart ass comments and i'm very thin skinned. How about you stfu. Don't like my statements, Stop responding to them, its that simple. Technically i did give the answer. put the stock part back on, its works fine as it is, then the hoses would fit as designed. obviously it isn't going to happen because someone spent good money on the BOV. Theres nothing wrong with EITHER part. Except the stockv one fits better. the new one has more bling and noise.

CLOS561 for the record nothing terrible will happen to your car without having the system setup for Recir. The car maybe stumble a bit in traffic but otherwise should be transparent minus the SWOOSSSHHHH sound.

i am currently running the hks vta, i am going to run it recirc when i get the cai. would running the car vta for about 2 months cause any damage?

 

[justa4banger]

Nope only cause a stumble when you decel or in wot and immediate off boost situations, other than that Enjoy the sound. its free.

Maybe with MORE time, you might foul an O2 sensor. MAYBE............

eya i notcied it was a lil different when i try to shift normal but i got the feel for it now, and eya when i first installed it, it was popping from 1-2 fast shifting, sounded cool but im sure its not great for the car...it will cahnge but for now its funny releasing right next to other tuners window..lol. do you know of anyway i could run recirc with teh stock aribox? i tried and there is no room at all to even close the airbox when its running recirc...

Hey clos561, mind posting a sound clip of your BoV...there are a few members who are curious how it sounds on the speed3. TY
