can you replace a vortech BOV with maybe a greddy type-s or hks BOV?

 

you can replace it with a Greddy s type , or the new rs type . If you want to go with another brand , you will have to get a flange to match and have it welded on the pipe

 

sweet dude thanx for the help. i really like the sound that those supras have (dont know which bov it is though) where it is like a high pitched screech.if u know what i am talking about.

 

you could, but why would you want to. Have you heard mine or JDM V35's? They sound SICK! Go to www.jdmv35.com and dl the Twin Supercharged G's vid and listen....clean up afterwards.

 

lololol. i get it . i have heard it and they sound awesome ur right, but i was just wondering. just keepin my options open

 

I just got my car back yesterday and although the BOV sounds cool, I'd prefer a more forceful louder psssshh. The Vortech BOV sounds like it slowly releasing pressure. I am thinking about going with the Turbo XS RFL. I hear it real fuking loud. I want to scare people when I drive by.

 

dude, you must have a dif BOV then. My stock BOV sounds louder than ANY BOV I've heard. Check out the vids referenced above and tell me if yours sounds like that.

 

Yeah that's how mine sounds. Let me rephrase....It's not that the vortech is not loud, it just sounds like the air is wheezing out.... Kinda of like when you let air out of a tire only a lot louder. I am looking for the phssssttt sound you get when you disconect an air compressor but a lot louder.

 

So it probably has a way to close itself, like a spring or some other pressure based door.

 

it has to because me and JDM_V35 has the same system and his sounds like a turbo BOV and mine sounds like a F16 fighter staging for take off! BTW, what the orgin of your handle? Where did you come up with Christ Puncher?

 

I bought a Greddy rs type BOV . I hate the whistle of the Maxflow from Vortech .Will have it in a week . The Turbonetics Raptor BOV looks like it will bolt right up also , but dont know the spec's on it . Im hopeing the Greddy will not whistle as bad as the Maxflow

 

That blow-off valve sounds as if it's not adjusted properly. You can hear compressor surge when it releases. Get it adjusted so there's only one puff of air not a shudder and that thing will sing. 6-7 threads showing is what most people come up with.

 

i like the way usdm's bov sounds.
vrooooommmm ta-ta-ta-tas-tas-tas-ssssssssss.lol.

 

That ....ta-ta-tas-tas-tas.....thats compressor surge and will end up hurting the blower . It does sound kinda cool ...but....do you want cool ....or a blower that needs to be sent in to get fixed

 

Craig, that's what I thought...sounded like it wasn't able to release the boost quick enough...
