81897, what kind of BOV gives that high pitch noise?
Posted by 97grnRS, Jan-28-05 11:20 AM
well im almost done with my turbo setup but i still need a BOV. im only running 8 psi on my rs. but my friend has a turbo XS one and hes runnin 6psi and it sounds low . almost like a sneeze, but i am lookin for one that has the high pitch sound like the F and F sound almost. i know only 8 psi wont really do alot but it has to sound better than his 6 on the turbo XS . i found some universal ones on ebay but i dunno if they will sound ok or not. does anyone know what kind will make a higher pitch sound and is not too much?

Tial, you want the tial one. My XS RFL is extremely loud, louder than TFAF rice cars, but it starts to leak at 15psi.

I say use a coke can with holes in it, duct taped to your pipes. For reals though, use the hks ss it makes that squeel like a pig noise.

what "squeel" are you guys talking about? i don't think it's really high pitched at all.

You're kidding me, bro! :( I was planning on getting the RFL, but I guess I need a more robust BOV...

The Type-S sounds bad ass, but I have to upgrade to the Tial for more boost

I thought the Tial one sounded the same as the HKS... the fluttering sound.

well i prob just get an imitation one from ebay. they are cheaper. and seem to be the same. so what u think would be louder. the design with multiple little holes around it to let air out or the one horn style ?

why not a 1g bov? I had one on my car or years. IMO it sounds exactly like the greddy type s.

Is that really true? The ricer in me is wanting to get a simi louder bov than my 3000 gt bov...

Yup Totally true. My friends here say it goes off too much, similar to the srt4 mopar one. Just giving her a bit of gas and it goes off. I actually got pulled over once for 'chirping' my tires because of it. I gave the cop a quick rev and it went off and he let me go no question asked.

That's probably not the brightest idea, it will probably leak at the sight of 3psi.

I thought the XS RFL was supposed to not leak at 15 + psi.
