Anyone running a 1g DSM BOV...i dont feel like/cant afford a new BOV...i dont give a **** if it sounds super sweet or anything...i just need to make sure it works and doesnt sound like total *** when i boost...

You like your DSM BOV?
How many psi are you running and is it efficent?
How much did you pay?
Where did you buy it?

yes, 7psi, $45, damon@importparts.com (before he was with DSM guys).

it sounds fine, its effective. does its job just fine. i am not a big fan of making my car make noise but it does sound cool i sheepishly admit. mine came with a flange to weld to my charge pipe also, which is a huge plus.

 

yea..all 1g DSM's too....2g is like the bosch ive been informed....im just a lil worried b/c im gonna be boosting like 11psi...which isnt alot..but im i worry about used products like that...

 

I ran a 1st gen uncrushed for 3 years @ 10-11psi. No problems at all. I personaly think it is one of the best sounding BOV's too. I paid $20 for is in 1998.

agreed. also, the stock 4g63 boosts more than 11psi and hold fine. my bov had a lot of miles on it, kinda cruddy. i cleaned it up with a rag and wd40.

 

I just ordered one tonight for 35 bucks shipped to my door. Go to http://www.dsmtuner.com for great deals. I have another guy lined up who will ship for 35 bucks to your door. I just picked the one seller over the other b/c i was buying some other stuff from him also. But yeah, dsmtuner.com is the place for dsm parts. dsmtrader.com sucks in my opinion, they want too much for their stuff

The only thing is how do i mount it to my charge pipe. If you can i'd get the flange that comes with it but i didn't get it with mine, sniffle sniffle....o well. What did you fellas use to weld it to the charge pipe, did you make your own flange?

 

9 PSI on mine, I've ran it everywhere from 7 - 9 PSI, absolutly sounds great. Way better sounding than Blitz, not quite as an HKS. But it has a loud CLEAN sound. It is a great BOV for the price.

 

1G BOV's can hold like 15 psi. I picked mine up from a local junkyard for 25 bucks which included the IC pipe it was mounted on so I could use the flange.

 

I've seen guys use them for many miles, it will defiantly work well for you.

 

Crushed they handle over 20psi. My friend that runs a red model and 20+psi still has a stock bov thats been crushed.

 

It will easily hold 20psi, my friends does. So if it doesnt its worn out.

 

i have one for sale...make offer..

 

10psi here and it sounds great. i get a lot of complements on it while driving. mounted it in the charge pipe inside the bumper...cheap and stealth with the exception of the...phisssssh!

 

9psi here. Open downpipe so i can't appreciate it's beauty yet

 

get a turbo mr2 one, i was oblivious to this fact, but they work similarly to the hks ssq, putting pressure on both sides of the valve, which means a higher leak point. most mr2 people keep the stock ones, but when they are for sale, they run about the same as the dsm ones.

Unless you can elaborate, this sounds exactly like every other BOV in the world. (pressure on both sides of the valve.)

 

haha, just like i told ya

i'll be running one too

 

I have a friend with a turbo shadow running anywhere from 24-30psi depending on his mood... 1g BOV... not sure if he's leakin or not, but i know at 24psi he isnt..

BTW... its a crushed 1st gen

 

what does crushed mean?

 

you dimple the top of the BOV in order to make the spring stiffer

there fore holding mroe boost

 

1G BOVs are going on my 2G and on my CRX

 

yea what does crushed mean.

 

pre-crushed the 1g dsm BOV can hold up to 18 psi..

crushed it can hold up to 26 psi....Do not crush it unless ur boosting hihger than 18psi... because if u crush it, that causes ur **** to surge at low boost (say under 10-12psi) which is not good for your turbo...

 

How do you hook up the 1G DSM BOV though. do you need to connect either of the two pipes on it to anything like a vaccum line or something? I know the DSM ppl recirculate the air by hooking up a rubber hose somehow but i want mine to be open atmostphere

 

I love mine, to me it sounds just right, not crazy loud, not too quiet.
Uncrushed I have seen them hold up 20psi and a little more if they are crushed so they are definatley functional.
