I have never seen a BOV with two nipples, pics please?

 

Some of the Greddy type S BOV knock-offs do. I have one because that is what GCT used to put into their turbo and SDS draw-thru kits. The two nipples work the BOV inversely. The Greddy RS also has the spot where the second nipple should be but it is only a access hole.

I think what Randy described indicates a bad BOV especially since he did the vacuum test. The BOV is leaking.

Here's the thread (start at my post #13): http://www.club3g.com/forum/gt-gts/67353-ripp-sds-hks-greddy-bov.html

And here's the BOV:

 

yup thats the POS bov that i have. Damn nipples fell off, LOL. Now i just need to find a nice BOV without breaking the bank. Anyone else have any input in my observation that the bov might be bad?

 

Sounds like the BOV is leaking boost.

Just get yourself a real greddy type s.

 

Just get yourself a real greddy type s.

I think those originals are getting harder to come by. I've heard different stories on how Greddy didn't secure the patent on the type S so you have all the knock-offs. The RS and the type R are what their offer now.

 

Get a forge BOV like mine. It sounds and performs great.

 

Randy you have one of those Chinese knock-offs that Jimmie and Donny sent out with the kits.

I have another one of those Forge blow off valves for the V6 kit like the one Andre pictured above. You can't buy them directly from Forge that way.

 

I've got a Greddy RS waiting in the wings that I bought after I installed the knock-off one. I got to say it has been working well up to this point.

 

i had one of thoes pos bov the ebay $40 and it just stoped working and i love my new one hks ssqv $200 u can get the chrome one for $150

That one is nice, but I believe Randy's setup needs a BOV that recirculates.

 

Randy this is the BOV that I have left over from the kit sales:

 

you take off all the screws and you replace the middle tri-fin with that recirc tube.

 

This is how the Forge BOV sounds venting to the atmosphere at full boost.:drool: YouTube - Chato's 3G Eclipse GT Turbo in the dyno

 

$100 for that Forge BOV is a great price. EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Forge Motorsport :agreed:

 

The only thing I don't like about forge BOV's is their tendency to leak at boost levels greater than 25 psi. Last year we had to scramble to replace a forge unit on the shop EVO before an event because we were stuck at around 480whp at 25 psi and we wanted to run about 30 psi w/ about 540whp for VIR as it's such a big power track.

Holy run on sentence. :lol:

 

The spring that comes with the Forge BOV sucks ass. I had to replace the spring with a stronger one because the old one was opening up at around 10psi. Still a good price though. $100 + $15 spring.

 

We went to the strongest spring supplied w/ the kit (forge does include multiple springs) and it still leaked. I even shimmed the bastard.

Honestly, Tial makes the best BOV period.

 

The one I have has a blue and a green spring included with it.

I would have always thought that the HKS bov was the best one you could use due to it's design.

 

Yea i read a few reviews about the forged bov on other car forums and the biggest thing was leaking problems. Not what i want since i already have a leaky BOV.

 

LOL, yours looks so nice and clean. I think mine has been banged around so much its greasy and mangled. But it still works flawlessly.

 

HKS SSQV or a stock EVO 9 BOV which holds boost good up to about 23ish. Not many boosted V6's are going to go over 15 psi anyways. That being said, there are a few of us who are exceptions.

 

Well im hoping to be pushing right around 15psi soon. Im just getting everything ready for it now

 

Yes you have to have a flange welded onto your piping for it.

 

Never used that unit but I'm sure it's top notch. It also requires a flange to be welded on as it mounts via a V band.

 

yea im just not a big fan of the stoner bov that tail makes there, LOL

 

SSQV FTW! I have it on mine and when its recirculated its got a wicked flutter I love it!:wub:

 

Really? Mine doesn't fluttery anymore, it used to flutter at low pressures. It used to screech at high pressures, now it just whooshes either way:dunno:. I dunno.

 

if i get anything other then a bolt on greddy bov im going to relocate my bov closer to the throttle body and then plum it into the 90 elbow off of the turbo

 

what about the 1g eclipse bov it doesnt leak until 20ish psi then you have to crush it to hold more boost

 

Different flange. Honestly to buy a new one, it's better to buy the EVO one as they run about the same.

 

^^^^^^ im keeping this thread bov specific. Will post pic later.
