Is it possible to put a blow off valve on a car with no turbo? Just for the
Sound really I am just wondering

DSMAddicted

No it's not possible.
They used to sell kits with a tiny air compressor that emulated the sound (and you'd trigger the air release during shifts), but that's the kind of fake ricer stuff that gives hondas a bad reputation.

Save the money, do your research and get a real turbo kit. What's a BOV sound good for if your car still has just 102 crank hp?

What's a turbo kit cost ?

I don't think it's possible.

But, maybe this can help you !

No. Just to FRONT like you are boosted? Why not also go with the intercooler in front for looks and (you thought) maybe the BOV for the sound. You are the SECOND person this week to ask this same question in the exact same way.

A turbo kit can be had for $1500 to $5000 depending on the kit/quality.

Parting one together with some nice used parts is the way to go on your first shot.

I agree, Turbo kits are expensive... If you just sourced the items yourself you need for your kit you will save yourself tons of money and you dont have to drop a couple grand all at once! Oh! and for the love of god stay away from ebay kits!

You can find good parts on ebay, but Ferio is correct. Ebay "kits" are not worth the time/money.

Here, http://hondamarketplace.com/forumdisplay.php?f=39 , you can find the majority of the parts you'll need for a fraction of retail.

Good luck

haha for sure man! I have won most of my brand name parts for real cheap by bidding on eaby Im bidding on a set of Bigger Precision injectors as we speak so I can make the switch to E85 and hit some big numbers

A quality kit will run you 1500 or more, below are some quality examples:

That's just the airflow side, you also need fuel upgrades and tuning if you want to avoid blowing your engine.

if you do this to your car, i will find you. i will follow you home. you will wake up the next morning, walk to your vehicle and look in amazement as your vehicle is snowed in but nothing else in the area appears to have got hit with snow. then you will realize that i robbed a dump truck, bought 15 tonnes of rice and proceeded to dump it on your vehicle.

You can piece one together for less and as long as you're running less than 6lbs, you don't need an intercooler. Since temperature and pressure is related, if the pressure isn't rising that much, the pressure won't that much either.

Of course, it's beneficial spending as much as you can on engine management and the turbo. Most of the rest you can cheap out a lot.

WTF is 6lbs without the turbo?
