  • So you want to make some cool woozy noises don't ya? I know you've got your eye on that HKS SSQV BOV and just thinking about all those ladies that you'll impress as you drive down the road sounding like a full fledged race car. But let's step back and take a look at what the actual differences are between BOV's and Bypass valves. There is the legend, the myth and the horror that a BOV will damage your engine. But will it really?......

    Sir, thank you for the massive information dump you have released upon me lol. Just picked up my second wrx. 1st was a 2002 wrx and now we have a 2017 wrx. I have so many ideas for this car and your channel has opened my eyes to so many pros and cons of things I've had in mind. Seriously thank you for all the videos and for all of your time. To be honest I have a trucking channel and I'll be trucking and just let your channel play in the background. So much info bro. Thank you again. Stay safe sir. Oh and its completely stock with 43k miles on it.

    I was torn between the two for awhile until i decided to go with a Dual Port BOV! what this means is it vents both to the atmosphere and back into the air intake - Increasing performance due to minimized leakage and rapid response. Best of both worlds! ;)

    I’ve literally just changed mine back from a dump valve to my stock recirc again.
    The sound was fun and the throttle shut afterfire/bang were cool. But the lag in gear changes from losing all the boost is REALLLY noticeable. Did some pulls last night and jesus just keeps pulling rather than the car bouncing around the second clutch is dipped.
    I hadn’t noticed how bad it was till i changed it.
    Coming off throttle with the dump valve felt like hitting a wall almost like applying the brakes.
    With the recirc it almost feels like it just keeps pulling just stops accelerating.

    I have a GFB Decepter Pro 2, with a module I can use to open and close the valve from in the cabin. Basically for the sound and the novelty. Once I got the cobb intake I barely open the BOV and keep it on recirc most of the time. The sound from the intake is better when its closed (the cobb one sounds like a flutter).
    So basically, if you are after sound, you may as well just get the intake and avoid aftermarket bov, your wallet will thank me.

    From my (albeit very limited) understanding (planning on a ‘21 STI build next year):
    BOV = better sound, only goes well with Stage 2 and further upgrades
    BPV = better reliability, actually built for the EJ motors, doesn’t require a tune at lower stages

  • @DriftNick
    @DriftNick Рік тому

    Off throttle compressor surge does not slow the turbo and yes people have tested it, the "stall" is the air flow separating from the blades, it's actually better for response then running a valve because boost pressure is not released and doesn't need to be built up again, this is why it's common place in motorsport not to run a valve.

      I had the same one on my 07 STI, when I went to get pro tuned I did a smoke test to verify everything before going on the dyno and mine was leaking causing the turbo to work a little harder to compensate for lost boost. No immediate danger but long term could cause damage, if it's working for ya than that's all that matters! I would just ensure that if there is a leak you can correct it, I lived the GFB when I had it. It was a happy medium for noise.

Taking it too a shop down the street to find the leak though.....have literally reattached everything 3 times over and it is still there. New map sensor on the way just in case it is crapped out too...starting to regret upgrading all the stuff I did while waiting on the block that I did...blouch 2.5 pickle, grimm downpipe, perring equal length, walbro 450 but running stock fpr, gymkhana exhaust just because why not, perrin cai, cobb 1050x injectors...so pretty much too many factors

    Great video! So just to recap, for my completely stock motor (2005 WRX), there's no benefit in switching out the stock BPV for something else. If I want some noise but don't want to mess up the running of the car, I could get a hybrid BOV, so that some of the air is recirculated and some vented. Assuming that's all correct then, three years after making this vid, do you have any other recommendations for a hybrid BPV/BOV??

I was un clear after talking to them if I just need injectors or if I need more than injectors. I know they lean out with a intake an downpipe. What all would you do? To make the car reliable ? Do I need a fuel regulator,fuel pump, the y set up in fuel line or is the injectors all I need. Sorry tried to keep it short any info would be great appreciate it. Great video keep them going

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  5 років тому +1

      I had this exact issue back in August, to be able to run the intake, doenpipe combo your going to need Injectors, fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator. I spoke with the tuner at surgline about this and he said that they 15+ have been making more power than previous generations so when doing the intake and downpipe combo we max out the factory injectors. Before I knew this I was running the intake and downpipe on an OTS Map and the car was very lean and would throw codes for lean fuel efficiency. After the fuel components the car becomes very reliable.

    Essentially it is meana to help the turbo stay spinning when the throttle is closed like during a shift. Automatics that drag race with turbos don't typically have a blow off valave because of the unitteruptrd power delivery ( think no lift shift on turbo 400 with manual valve body/air shift)

      Depends on the set up honestly, on a stock car it wont do much but make the car run funny unless tuned with a block off plate on it, but it would have some of the sounds. Theoretically it would reduce turbo spool time, when the air cuts back through the turbo it slows the turbine wheel down so it would need to get that speed back which would increase your spool time.
