Turning A Standard Bov Into A Atmo Bov

[lows_13]

Is it possible to disconnect the plumback lines on the standard BOV and block them up,

remove the standard BOV and block to tiny little hole and re-bolt the BOV back on.

Is there any benefit to this?

[paulr33]

none at all. expect it to stall, be laggier and carry on

[lows_13]

Can you get an atmo BOV that counteracts these issues?

[BezerkR32]

There are hundreds of aftermarket atmospheric valves on the market.

Can you get an atmo BOV that counteracts these issues?

so anyway out of all this, why on earth would you want an atmo bov?

for the noise? the stock one makes noise

[Interloper]

coz itz fully sic moite!

lol, nah i don't know

[lows_13]

I realise there are many various types available,

are there any atmo's that don't cause the car to stall, etc, etc

In Short No.

The lack of air on the intake IS the reason why it stalls.

Throw a pod on and it'll make a sound.

or

Block off the stock BOV with a pod andf it'll make a cooler sound.

or

Forget about sound and concentrate on other things like CAI, Hi Flow CATS and FMIC.

If you block off the standard BOV completely, i assusme the turbo's actuator will do all the work then?

Is there any benefit to blocking off the standard BOV and doing this?

[Kennedy]

No benefit.

Much the same way as there is no benefit with running a atmo BOV. How about you tell us why you want a atmo bov?

If it's for something other than then rice factor then perhaps we can collectively think of another solution for your untold troubles.

the only way to make the stock bov vent to atmo properly is to get a one way valve on to the venting end.

this can be done.

if you really want to, measure the OD of the bov outlet then go to a plumbing store with those measurements and look for a one way valve to fit over that OD. so on idle when the bov is open, air will not be sucked in from there.

NOTE: this will alow you to get the sound you want but it doesn't prevent the running rich and so forth..

get a pod filter and your stock bov will be loud enough for most people to think you have a AM one anyway the stock airbox keeps the noise in check

[lows_13]

The car came with the atmo BOV on it, just trying to work out whats better.

I see....

So why do you want to turn a stock BOV (which you don't have) into an atmo one?

Trust me...the stock one is loud!!!! If you wanna make it louder then get a metal intake pipe.

The stock one is ten times better on a stock ECU. If you get a power FC then go atmo all the way

End of Story.

If you get a power FC then go atmo all the way

End of Story.

why?

pfc still uses the air flow meter..

how is it any different?

and why is the atmo the one to "go all the way" when a pfc is fitted?

[Busky2k]

If its PowerFC DJetro, *then* its atmo all the way LOL.

[ORIGIN]

can you get a power fc djetro for an r32 gtst? how much are they?

[paulr33]

it would be very silly to change to a map sensor ecu just for a stupid BOV.

but yes it would work a bit better. you cannot get djetro rb20 but you can get an rb26 djetro working on an rb20 to achieve the same goal
