Wouldnt it make no difference how many BOVs are fitted in relation to holding boost?

1,2, 5 or 10 of them fitted I thought would not give any increase in boost holding ability.

e.g If you had one of the plastic Bosch BOV and it leaked at 10psi I thought fitting another one would result in both of them leaking at 10psi?

I always thought the reason for having more than one BOV was for when running higher boost levels (36psi) it gave more total cfm release as only one fitted would struggle to vent all the excess pressure/air?

They would just share the pressure.

Each would pass half the air a single unit would vent.

Get two coke cans, shake them.

Poke one hole in can A.

Poke two holes in can B.

The pressure of the liquid ejected from Can B, will be half the pressure ejected from Can A.

Twice the total CFM, half the pressure.

No Each would pass half the air of one.

As the BOV is set at a X pressure they would release at the same time

under the same pressure but would escape twice as fast

Cant use the can theory here. Its Not the same as BOV as the BOV is pressure set.

Twice the CFM but same pressure as a single BOV.

:D

To combat boost holding problems, dont companies have varying strength springs that you can install? My cousins 1JZ's blow off valve had a different spring in it, so it would blowoff at lower pressures because he was running low boost...

The spring constant determines how hard a spring is, get a stiff spring fabricated to suit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
