which blow-off valve? Options

[team_omega]

I was just curious which blow-off valve is good for the 3sgte engine? I've been hearing the HKS SSQV is the better of them but i want to hear from you guys?

[presure2]

basicly, the ssqv is one of the best ones, because you can recirculate it back to intake, so that the AFM dont get screwed up, and make you run rich between shifts.
with celica clips with a top mount, they dont even have a bov.

I would say its basically preference. I have an SSQV as well, and its freaking loud, but it does open fast and never has leaked on me.

the new greddy RS is good and also has the recirculating ficture

[celicast3sgte]

ok so kind of off topic from this but whos got FMIC and what was the parts cost and parts needed? if you dont want to clutter the thread PM me. thanks.

[doGGy]

The old TypeS was better, the new one has the same problems as Apexi bov's - it hacks sometimes.... Got this info from people who are directly importin Greddy products and installing them on all different cars...

I got my self Greddy TypeS.......

I always felt this wasnt a good reason to recirc. The .5 seconds it takes to shift IMO is a silly thing to worry about.

The ST205 had a stock BPV.

you hook it up to recirculate but can you still hear it?

Yeah, thats what i was wondering? I have heard that you dont hear it as much or not at all. So the HKS might be the best if you want kinda hear it. So far im ahppy with my Blitz BOV. I have my motor running right, so the it sounds great.

Turbo XS RFL.....if ur into scaring people

The best functional BOV IMO is SSQV, its like the stock BPV on MR2s so it cant leak via too much pressure.

Also, the recirc will quiet down the BOV a great deal.

[mark_426]

When you have recirc hooked up, you wont hear it as much, however, if you want the sound, you can use a piece of hardline.. DSM guys say you get pretty decent sound with it.

i would suggest to check on www.alltrac.net


they have more experience with the 3S-GTE than anyone here (except for a select few that contribute to each site).

I have the HKS SSQV and I love it!!!!
my second favorite would have to be the Tial though

not only that, but the TB is closed during a shift anyway, its not like the air was going into the engine

i have a SSQV on my WRX and i love it. great sound, no leaks, no stalling, and its really loud.

[Driveby]

I run the Blitz Super Sound or the HKS SSQV depending on which sound Im after, the Blitz gives a nice whoosh which is nice when out cruising and the HKS gives the chirp sound when really standing on the gas.
If you recirc (for the guys with air flow meters) if you have an induction kit, you will still get an audible dump, but for people with map sensors (and use non recirculating) the sound is nice and loud and scares people, oh yes

the problem is, on an afm car, the ecu still thinks the air will end up in the engine, so it injects more fuel, but since the air blew out, you run ritch and bog down. this really ends up hurting your throttle response.

most people dont know what they are missing by doing a recirc, because they never tried it. also, i think its less of an isse for somone running a water to air top mount, then it is for someone with a fmic, because there is less volume of air to vent out of the ic.

[KOWABUNGA]

if your worried about sound then dont get an SSQV but if you want good recirc then get one. And i agree with doggy, the type s is better, but i myself have had no experience with either of these, im only going by what my friends have said.

i've bought the ssqv for my 5sfte set up. i've read that it was one of the best BOV and 2ndly is cause i love the sound
