Bovs

[vbevan]

Hope this is in the right area. Was just wondering on the laws surrounding BOVs.

As far as I know they are illegal in all states? Is this right? And is this due to noise pollution or emission controls (oil could get vented out perhaps?)?

Probably not the best area, but ah well.

Depends on the type of BOV mate. Standard (factory) blow off valves are generally plumback, which as a rule generally means less noise pollution. It's when you start putting aftermarket Atmospheric blow off valves on your car when things start to go bad. Atmo BOVs i know are illegal in most states.

Best bet is a hybrid imo

What state are you in mate?

I'll move it across to the relevant section.

Sorry, WA. New to this forum, wasn't sure how everything was organised.

I dont know about legal or not...but I have got a permit for my atmo BOV

you got a permit for your atmo bov?! I thought it was emissions reasons you couldn't vent to atmosphere.. not noise.. if it's noise then I can argue the case for the huge sard thing on my car (came

with a permit for aftermarker plumback bov, not atmo) but it's so loud I'm putting a standard one on.. still got your plumback plumbing?

i got a pair of ssq's on my gtr and they made it over the pits fine. the dude there took it for a thrash, i heard them go off a few times.

he said nothing.

i told him i had them and asked fror a permit, he said i dont need one.

Yeaqh, at the time it was a Greddy S Type. Went over the pits to get rid of a yellow at east perth, and the guy said I needed a permit for it...and the strut brace...and the pod filter...and the aftermarket seats

Sorry, dont have the plumbing...had the Type S on it from Japan
