markjodrell Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I was thinking getting an aftermarket bov , just so everybody knows its a tt (sad eh ) My question:- is it worth it on an auto, obviously you are going to get the wooooosh on every qear change in a manual but when on an auto ?????

Guest mk47 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 you get it every time you take your foot off accelaration. ive got a sard r2d2 and it sounds really good. if you plant your foot to the ground you can hear a slight "chh" as it changes gears but very briefly as the gears are changing really fast.

Andy Supra Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yep direct replacement, paid Nic (Import Pimp) I just under £200 I think? not 100% sure but was under £200 for a brand new one delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy , ive just fitted a std one on mine , yes , it didnt have one at all up until yesterday, somebody must have removed an after market one before I got the car and didnt replace the std one, nice Have to try and get a second hand one me thinks , cant afford £200 quid right now for a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 none of the bovs require welding etc if your putting it in the stock bov location. all youll need is silicon pipes and clamps and a little bit of vaccuum hose, and a bung to block off one of the connections. i bought my 'fitting kit' locally and it cost under £20 for everything.

MarkTheBoy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Buy it, fit it, smile One of the first things I did when I bought my auto, I bought the HKS SSQV from Nic (importpimp) spent half hour fitting it and haven't stopped grinning since. Fitting is a piece of cake and theres plenty of guides/advice/pictures on here to make it even easier. its a great piece of kit and a bargain from Nic. For that extra bit of 'yes, its a turbo' coolness you should sort yourself out with a boost guage too... looks the nuts and helps you see your progress if you decide to carry on modding. Bought mine on fleabay, only about 30quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I think the stock has a lovely chatter off woot on my auto, nobody else agree? It's well fucking loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Is the stock BOV to air? Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Nope, it's a re-circ jobby. Not sure why you'd get chatter off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thought so, same as mine. Wierd. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I don't know either, but I'll post a clip up tomoz guys. It's deffo stock, but so bloody loud tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Have heard you can get "chatter" buy removing the stock BOV all together and blocking both ends off. Not recommended on Supras really but my mate does it on his Evo 6 TME and sounds awesome. I have a Blitz Induction kit and a Greddy BOV, there is a vid knocking around somewhere so I will try and find it and post it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, it's deffo there and intact. I have a HKS Induction kit, I know, I know, fitted by previous owner though. I'll take a pic of the valve and a sound recording tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Its the induction kit thats making the stock bov sound louder i think Sheefa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ahh now its making sense. I don't think that will be the BOV, i'm pretty sure that will be the turbo through the air filter as i get the same on my MR2 with the Recirc. Its nowhere near as loud as a BOV though.

Sheefa Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ah OK thanks guys. Was looking at a HKS SSQV from Nic. May get it now, but am pretty happy with the sound from the Induction Kit and Stock BOV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
