bov question

what the hell is a bov?

blow off valve

Sounds like something Farmerman needed for his exploding chestnuts.

Meyers,

There's a dude here by the name of Rockhead who is an expert on all things automotive so he'll probably be able to give you some relevant advice.

You don't have a turbo but want a blow off valve?!?

What kind of lame ass car show would let that fly?


I guess if you wanted one you'd have to install some sort of air compressor to make the valve actually work, but again I have no idea why you'd actually want something so stupid.

no its just theres something odd with my motor and theres too much pressure and noway to release that, thats why mainly i was askin cause i really want to go to this show ,, im retarded just to slap a bov on there , i am mechanically inclined

what kind of car are we talking about?

year make model...

and current mods.

I'm here for a couple hours while the turkey cooks.

1986 Nissan 300zx and only mods are custom ram air intake Dynomax Super turbo exhaust and 240sx 5speed trans. swap

and you are building intake pressure to a detriment?

(please describe symptoms, more info is mucho better.)

i'm past my bedtime...

"no its just theres something odd with my motor and theres too much pressure and noway to release that"

Uhh.... no. Just no. Intakes on N/A motors always operate at a vacuum. You can put all the blowoff valves on it you want, but they'll never operate. What you are proposing is putting a valve that opens at something like 8 psi on a system that always operates at a negative pressure. What possible good would it do?

I don't mean to be a jerk, but its pretty obvious that you have really no clue how an engine or a BOV works, so the answer is no. Just no. Technically you could, but only if you want to get laughed right out of the car show. If I saw it at a car show, I would personally find the owner and slap him with the back of my wet hand.

ok i know alot on how engines work and how bov's work im not stupid , thats wat nissan told me to do , and i didnt think it was right so i ask people cause more minds for answers is better than one mind that will just tell u stuff
