dkorinko Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I know there would not be a need for a BOV on my 97 GTP but i was just curious to see if anyone has ever put one on a newer GTP that is supercharged. I was thinking that even though there is no need for one, it would still be awesome to have the sound. It cost probably 200 bucks just to make the sound lol, but at the same time, I think you would have a lot of people looking at your car like what the fu*k? Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 no. not unless you somehow incorporated a FMIC or something. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 well, you wouldn't need an FMIC - what you'd have to do is cut a hole into the manifold under the supercharger, and run the BOV under there - it wouldn't make much sense tho, because the BOV is used for two reasons, first is to keep the pressure from reflecting off the throtle body and into the compressor, and the second is to keep the compressor speed up between gear changes for faster boost response - these are two things you don't need on that type of a supercharger setup. --Dave.

dkorinko Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Posted March 11, 2006 Sounds like a little to much work, thats alright though I was just curious, I guess I am stuck with the whining of the supercharger now Thanks for the info. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 ... even if you put on a BOV, it'd never sound like one on a turbocharger ... that I can gaurentee. --Dave. Quote
dkorinko Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Posted March 11, 2006 In that case, forget i said anything. lol thanks. Quote
fastbird232 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I am stuck with the whining of the supercharger now Poor you. Quote
1990lumina Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 If you just want the sound, get some type of ricer thing with a speaker under the hood and a sound of a BOV....I bet you could probably buy something like that on eBay too Quote
dkorinko Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Posted March 11, 2006 No thank you. I would have to shoot myself in the face if i ever did something like that, and I would expect everyone of you guys to punish me as well. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I'd actually fly to Tucson to kick your ass if you did that. --Dave. Quote
fastbird232 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Well, if you think about it, putting a BOV on a supercharger is the same thing: artificial sound proclaiming you have something under the hood that you really don't. Quote

That don't make sense. You can put blow off valve's on certain s/c's. (not the roots ones like the L67) Quote
Rocketman Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 You can use BOV's with centrifugal superchargers - all they are is a turbo compressor with a gearbox. They are prone to surge just like turbos so BOV's are sometimes used with them. Quote

I believe all those chargers have 'em ... it's the ones where the charger is AFTER the throtle body when you don't need it... much like my carb'd turbo. --Dave. Quote
94 supreme Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 I forget the companys name but for about 200 bucks they have one of them speaker systems that i heard in real life and goes off the intake or the vacuum or something and sounds really real if u didn't know it wasn't a turbo u would beleive it.

Bossman429 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 I forget the companys name but for about 200 bucks they have one of them speaker systems that i heard in real life and goes off the intake or the vacuum or something and sounds really real if u didn't know it wasn't a turbo u would beleive it. That's as much as a REAL BOV! I could get one for the Beretta and have 3 turbo cars! Quote

94 supreme Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I'm agreeing with u guys it is a stupid idea but if he really wan'ts one they do make them Quote
Miko K Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 Just put a turbo kit on your L67 and it comes with a BOV. Then you might want to swap in a manual transmission, to get the full effect from BOV on each shift. 8) Quote
dkorinko Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Posted March 17, 2006 Speaking of which, I am sure this has been asked a million and one times but....does anyone have a 5 speed in a 97 and up GTP???? Quote
