: Blow Off Valves
NX$paniard 06-18-2002, 11:53 PM Howdy!
what blow off valves are you guys using? Why? and How hard are they to come by?
I know a few use the:
Greddy type S...
what HKS models??
**** use turbo XS stuff?
Apexi?
in other words...whats the best one for high hp/boost that is relatively easy to come across? thanx for any inputs...
SucKit 06-19-2002, 01:13 AM I run the ARC blowoff valve. Very nice sound and its routed back. Sounds like the greddy. Got it off ebay for $150, and no regrets about. No flange needed, just connects to your DET stuff if you have one.
edgar lopez 06-19-2002, 02:00 AM i run the greddy type s its also rerouted,it sounds great not too loud so you still keep that sleeper sound.
CowboyDren 06-19-2002, 02:10 AM I hear very good things about the Turbo XS product, even from non-US purchasers. :) They're inexpensive, compact, attractive, quality parts that can handle lots of boost and are easy to tune. What more could you ask for?
Wicked R 06-19-2002, 02:19 AM I'm currently using a TurboXS BOV... I was amazed at the quality of craftsmanship and it has held my boost very well... I highly recommend this product over any others...

92SE-R 06-19-2002, 12:22 PM I have the TurboXS. It is beautiful and works great. Model HR34. I got it from Isidro. BUT, the rubber rings around the top section are starting to crack. Any of you guys have this problem?
skiddusmarkus 06-19-2002, 01:29 PM I use HKS SQV-expensive at £290(about $450)but it sounds amazing,especially at high boost.Sort of a a high pitched chirrup followed by a cool ptsssssssh.
NX$paniard 06-19-2002, 01:38 PM can the hks ssqv be rerouted?
also which turbo XS model is the most reliable? Thanks!
skiddusmarkus 06-19-2002, 02:07 PM It's got a really short pipe on it(about 2") and I suppose it could be welded.Mine fits onto a pipe coming off the inlet manifold.
I had the HKS super blow off before but it started leaking air and messing up ther fuelling.It was about 10 years old though:(.

What boost levels and what hp goals do you have?? I have the TurboXS type S which is handling my 300 hp 12 psi of boost just fine... It can be landed for $129, it wont let you down...

92SE-R 06-19-2002, 05:55 PM Whoa Erich, when did you dyno 300 hp at 12 psi? Is the car finally running good?
Wicked R 06-19-2002, 06:00 PM no comments till 2 weeks... still dyno tuning this bitch...:D
sleeping 91ser 06-19-2002, 06:23 PM how about a first gen dsm blow off valvue, wouldnt this be a real cheap effective thing, would it fit right on??

92SE-R 06-19-2002, 06:55 PM Yes it will bolt right on. If you are running more than 10 psi though, I highly recommend crushing the BOV.

NX$paniard 06-20-2002, 12:04 AM Im not too worried about the price.. i Just want something reliable that wont pull my pants down on the price thats all. I will look into Turbo XS.....What kind of problems are associated to the Greddy type s?? So far every brand has reported a leak problem at some point... Anyone know where to get the Tial BOV i think they are fairly new...?? sorry for dragging this out so much...:D
