I was wondering if anyone else was running a tial bov and if you had any trouble with it not blowing off. If anyone is looking to get rid of a type s for good price let me know!

 

Which lbs spring is in the BOV? Did you try giving it its own seperate vacuum line?

 

No its not even on the car yet the car is still being built. I have a buddy that has the same bov on a eclipse gsx and his wouldnt blow off until 26 lbs. We tried to crack it by hand and its impossible, we had to put it on a press to even think of cracking it open. Also I really want type s anyway, Im trying to figure it all out before the flange is welded

 

i private messaged u chris

 

i have a tial and i have the same problem it wont open until its above 11psi or so....i tried to press it buy hand and could not...but it does work, just not a lower psi levels..

 

Before I installed mine, I was worried I had the high PSI one also, so I took the BOV apart to check the spring color. I have a silver spring. It's a mother to push open by hand...almost can't be done.

After installing it and feeding it boost/vacuum from a vacuum manifold, it works flawlessly...I can even hear it opening at slight vacuum [7-0" Hg] on shifts. I love the way it sounds and performs, and I don't think there's a better BOV on the market.

 

oh yeah chris, ive got a tial bov too, so if you want we can meet up and see if yours has the same stiffness as mine, i know for a fact mine is a 7psi spring

 

I dont have mine here its at the shop casey. I went ahead and let phil do my motor because of my lack of knowledge, id rather it run instead of sit and look pretty

 

i got one on my sohc t i gave my friend a ride in my car so he can hear the bov. and he was deciding to get one for his built ls/vtec and he was loving the sound . so now hes getting one for his
