Ska Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yeah it is easy enough, undo 2 bolts and the hoses and bolt on the new one. Word of warning, if you are thinking of putting an atmospheric venting BOV on, you will find that all it will do is make your stag constantly stall.

stagpower Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 really,aww k how do ya tell if it atmospheric?? like i said i not 2 good with the imports Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165215-bov-and-boost-control/#findComment-3060522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well if it just bolts on, and you only have to attach a little tube from the plenum to it, and nothing else, then more than likely it is an atmo venting. Plumback will have a like little pipe, bout as round as a 50cent piece, where you attach the piping that runs back into the intake Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165215-bov-and-boost-control/#findComment-3060539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky Rooster Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 atmo BOV's usually have a trumpet looking thing on the side to help make the annoying noise (that is actually illegal in WA and the cops really hate them). If you do a search you will find quite a few very learned people on this site that recommend leaving the std one in place unless you are going with a highflow or stupidly big AM turbo, but its up to you. You are in Gosnells huh? Drop me a PM if you do go ahead because I would love to come and stick my head under your bonnet and watch/help with the proceedings. I share your n00bness to imports, but I was a Ford man myself before the Stagea (ie seeing the light) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165215-bov-and-boost-control/#findComment-3060567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 True Dale, changing your BOV will do nothing but make a different noise, and that is it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165215-bov-and-boost-control/#findComment-3060581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasis Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) it makes the engine fart louder thats all. It doesnt improve the performance at all. When i first joined the forum the BOV "the fart valve" was on my mod list. And these guys are the ones who talked me out of it. And i needed 2 BOV which will cost me around 800 bucks. so... . Reakky you dont need the BOV you rather spend it on something else like pod filters and the cold air intake box . If you talk to cruiseliner in regards of the BOV im pretty sure he will spank your ass and say :P dibt touch the damn thing. Well he made his point out to me. LOLOLO!!! But i saved $$though.

Stinky Rooster Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 he made the tragic mistake of actually having an opinion and sharing it when asked to. That, and the fact that some brown nosing mods that have never heard the term "innocent dissolution" before, overreacted. But, thats just my slightly jaded opinion on it, ask the user with the handle "overpowered" I'm sure he could tell you more, I am pretty sure he still see's cruiseliner from time to time Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165215-bov-and-boost-control/#findComment-3060793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssshonky Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 well there is one question I was going to ask .. that I no longer have to ask I had a plumb back BOV on my pulsar and it was loud as hell .. dont know how they think its supposed to be silent. I was thinking of changing the factory BOV on the Stagea just cause I think they sound kinda nice.. but after reading this I might not. Was just looking for that nice tssshhh noise. not the sound of my old one that sounded like a pidgeon on a megaphone..

Silverback Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I kinda like mine the way it is, you can still hear it within the car, but only at full noise......I do like that sound!

yokotas13 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I still dont understand why atmo bov's make your car stall??? ill try and explain and not make it sound stupid with my wording. Basically, your MAF map has the air that is returned from your BOV automatically calculated in, which also changes depending ont eh amount of boost you make etc etc when you vent to the atmosphere that air isnt beign returned, so the engine expereices an extremely rich condition from the added fuel it plopped in to compensate for the woosh of air from your BOV. by using the DECEL air setup on teh SAFC2, you can eliminate the small burst of fuel and be god to go Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165215-bov-and-boost-control/#findComment-3061626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYSLY Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Sweet thanks for that Grant, cause i really want an atmo bov, and i plan on getting and SAFC 2 or NEO To all of you that dont like atmo bovs, bite me! I like em and im gonna get one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/165215-bov-and-boost-control/#findComment-3061763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_RS4 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Yeah I have a sard r2d2 bov on mine and was having the usual stalling problem. But now I have the SAFC its all good. I have to admit there isn't much rice in me but I love bov's. Espically when they are on a wagon, makes people go WTF??? Couple that with a very loud pod and the fact that now the stock cooler is gone I have a nice hole right under the pod (which I will make a cold air feed soon) and its sounds so cool and really gets people looking. And about bov causing engines with air flow meters to stall grant pretty much covered that. But its not a bad idea to get and safc (only safc 2 / neo have the DECEL option btw) so you can tune your fuel mixtures and get some better fuel economy anyway, the jaycar unit will do the same but won't help you with an atmo bov.
