I was just wondering if the DSM BOV would work with a boosted d16z6 I plan to use a garrett t3/t4 wither 57 or 60 trim, at 17lbs.. would this bov work? does anyone have any sound clips of the DSM on a D series? thanks

 

yes, and no. recirculation = good.

 

just get a damn tial or hks....or turbo xs. Why does everyone go cheap when boostin?.........

Blowoffvalves.com has some sound clips and videos - but they don't have any dsm bovs. Just the major brands. I personally like the HKS SSQV

Because the DSM bovs have been proven to work, and can be had for next to nothing.

 

I'm not talking about getting a DSM part - but in general, people always want to buy used items.

Some people prefer function over form. Sure, you can drop $250+ on a brand name bling shiny BOV with a cool sound, but some people rather keep low key and spend their money elsewhere.

The 1G DSM bov can handle 20+psi easy. 30+ when crushed. A budget SOHC turbo build will most likely never boost over 20psi. Spend the money where it counts.

 

I found this sound clip, but dont know if it will sound the same with a d16z6.. and it just doesnt seem right that a 1g DSM BOV would sound that good...

edit: so it will probably never blow off then if I only run 17lbs? stock 1g dsm's run close to 20lbs???

 

Sounds about right. It's not a high pitched sound like the HKS, just a good rush of air. (I should know, I have a 1G DSM with the BOV vented with a MAF-T blow through setup)

 

so if I go pick one up it will sound like that with 17lbs?

also what is a good price for one?

 

ugh. I didn't like that sound. I like the Greddy type s and the hks ssqv.

I'm running 20psi on mine. Sounds like that, a big rush of air.

You can find them for around $50-100. But no, they're not adjustable. They just open when you need them to. No fluff, no bling, it just works.

so boosting at 12 to 17lbs it will probably never blow off for me then... right?

 

Of course it will blow off. I ran 8 and 9psi with mine and it worked fine. I noticed the more boost I run the harder the bov sounds off as it should. The dsm bov will sound great at 12 to 17lbs of boost.

yes, with your choice of BOV it's pretty obvious you're a ricer about it ... for function you go 1g, type-s or tial, all work much much better than the super-surge-equential.

the 1g on my car holds to 32+psi, is not crushed, and still functions as a bypass valve. you can pick them up for about $60 used.

 

Yes, it will work great for your car. 17 psi is not too much. I personally ran 22 lbs. and sounded and functioned perfect. Its a cheap, good quality way too go. If you go to your local junk yard you might be able to come out with only paying 20$. I just bought one for 30$. Try looking on DSM sites, people on there get rid of them for hell a cheap. Good luck...

You don't need to recirculate, cause Hondas use MAP (manifold absolute pressure) MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. Unlike DSM, Nissan, Toyota, Hondas/Acuras don't need to recirculate the BOV, cause they don't read that. The ECU doesn't make you hit a rich point like MAFs do.

 

i know this, i was referring to sound.

also, an uncrushed 1g is a bypass valve, and actually opens under vacuum (to make idling easier so the air doesn't have to go through the IC). so unless you like sucking in unfiltered air, recirculation prevents that as well.

 

Bah, my 1G DSM BOV never sounded like that. Im boosting 10psi and it blows off but it goes "Choo" not Woosh

The only reason that BOV is loud is because its on a supra doing about 30+ psi........it would not have sounded like that on a honda doing 15psi. No where near as loud.

 

geebus i can't believe this thread is so big.

thats HT for you. everyone has to bitch about something.

im running the 1g dsm uncrushed on my y7/y8 mini-me at 7psi. i think it sounds really good. nothing ricey and annoyingly loud. this is a dd so i didn't want something that i would want to rip off after a while.

bottom line is its cheap(30-50), works perfect everytime

 

Here is my d16z6 with 1st gen DSM @ 7psi from acouple years ago.

A completely different sound.

1st gen DSM vavle sucks. it's just as bad as the oe WRX bov..considering it's pretty much the same thing.

my oe valve likes to open at part throttle with boost coming on....i hate that. had to switch to a greddy to fix the prob
