k
so i went on craigslist and found someone selling a bov for only 150.
i followed the instructions best i could and it looks great!
but its not working right.
when i floor it and then shift, nothing happens. you cant really hear anything. i think my vacuum line has a leak or something
it only goes whoosh and not WHOOSH
good right up i hope they sticky this

 

It seems to work for me. Hum. Do you have its spring loosened all the way up? I think thats your problem.

 

hmm just tried it right now. it seems that it gets louder when im goin 40+.
however in the lower speed likes 20 or 30, it doesnt get much of a sound.
guess ill have to "blow" everyone away on the highways

 

i love a good rickrollng

 

did this on my buddies civic this afternoon sounds great i might add really adds a nice hiccup sorta duck call to the alrady gnarly vtec sounds.. quite the instll tho hope to have pics up by thursday when this is added to the tech section

 

Ah excellent.


OlaHalo- Im glad its working for you now. You just need to do a few more tweeks and it will work like a charm. I feel I should put this also in the drive train and power section. Im sure some of them would love to have this knowledge.

 

KikCaffine,
I thought you were joking about this!

Does someone have a sound clip? I'm curious how this sounds.

 

yeah that civic is laying down like55 more hp too the wheel after this wicked install

hey karate kid go to the first page of the tread theres a good sound cli on there

 

This should go in Drivetrain & Power, and then be stickied. And then get a trophy and/or medal.

 

^^trophy and or medal.


concur.

 

naturally you wouldnt hear the big whoosh.. there is nothing wrong with your vacuum line, BOVs are not designed to open at vacuum, if it does open.. very very little and you hear a soft whistle.. but if you can replace the spring with really soft one, that might make it louder a bit

 

finally a DIY for this. I have been wanting to do this forever. But I am gonna wait til i get headers and exhaust so it really sounds mean.

 

olahalo what happened to your turbo? you're doing bov on NA now? lol

 

omg people never cease to amaze me

 

I thought this was a joke (I heard the sound clip )....until I saw someone actually install this, lol.

 

^ its a PS

 

^I figured that after the 'sound clip'....I'm just simple. lol

 

lol

 

ya the install went well.
why would you think this was a joke
its kinda sad, but its true
at least i have warranty
