TURBOSMART BLOW OFF VALVE FOR Colt Ver R

[R3X]

Hi all fellow CVR Manual Owners!

Read in a previous thread about this product Turbosmart Blowoff Valve Dual Port for us manual trannies.

Any advise on the function and problems if any of this product ?

How does it compare to a conventional vent to atmosphere BOV ?

Hugs n Kisses

[27AME]

Mate it just works as any normal atmospheric blow off valve, but can be plumbed back if thats how you want it... it comes with the adapter plate to make it pulmbed back so all you have to do is take off the supersonic trumpet and whack the plumbback plate on it...

No problems, mine works perfect.

Hi mate, So for you i assume you are running it with the plumback plate on all the time as our ride doesnt allow anything to go to the atmosphere.???

Any difference or will there be any sound or swoosh when it is on plumback mode???

Please advise.

:)

[27AME]

I'm not actually running it with the plumback plate on it mate, fully atmospheric with the supersonic trumpet still on it, have had it this way the whole time...

There probably will be a bit of turbo flutter with the plumback plate on? not sure - doubt there'd be a whoosh though as the air is going back into the system, not venting out.

The bov is easy to work. You twist the top for 'Hardness' or 'Softness'. When it is set on hard (the top is screwed on as tight as it goes) the piston is harder to open - which means less air gets out through the trumpet. When it is set on soft (fully unscrewed to the maximum let out point marked by the red line - mine is set on this at the moment) the piston is easy to push open and therefore more air is vented out.

Basically its all done by a spring, when the spring is compressed into the piston (hard mode) it is harder for the air to push it open, when the spring is at its least compressed (soft) the piston is easy to open and more air comes out.

But I assure you, no problems with this BOV at all, no matter how you decide to run it.

Hi boss,

Guess u r running it full to atmosphere then ?? Are you a Colt Ralliart Version R ?

No CEL , No Power Loss ? Nothing bad happens at all ?

Hmm,

Any other manual CVRs using this BOV ?

Regards

[27AME]

Yep Full Atmo, running on Colt Ralliart (I don't understand all that Version R shit)

No CEL or power loss, NO problems. :)

By the way, According to Turbosmart, I am the first person in Australia to use this BOV on the RColt.

Seeming as though Turbosmart is an Australian brand, I'd say I'm the only one in the world ;)

[lovecolt]

Yep Full Atmo, running on Colt Ralliart (I don't understand all that Version R shit)


All aus rcolt is version R. I'm surprised with your statement :p

[27AME]

All aus rcolt is version R. I'm surprised with your statement :p

Haha I honestly didn't know that - I thought maybe mine was a Colt Ralliart and the Colt Ralliart Version R was a different release that looked the same.

Either way, who really cares? I don't know why companies make it all so different, anyway which way you look at it, the Ralliart Colt would be more successful in ANY country than these czt, colt plus turbo etc (whatever the hell they are).

Why they bother to make different models and incurr all the extra expenses is beyond me. It should be Colt ES, Colt LS or whatever it is, Colt VR-X and Colt Ralliart. This should be consistent WORLDWIDE. Just my opinion.

So to confirm with you, is yours a MANUAL ??? :D

Hmm in this lovely island we call Singapore, there are automatics running around.

Well, How loud would you think your Turbosmart BOV is ?

Lets say compared to a sharp sound of a HKS SSQV BOV ?

Or you can call Singapore a "FINE" country :D

Singapore only brings in CVT version officially. Those manual RColt guys in Singapore went through parallel import method.

Australia is opposite by only having manual version and we can't do parallel import.

Jap (motherland of RColt) naturally has both version readily in the showroom.

Hi Fuse,

How is the sound ? Loud ?

How much is it ?

How did you get your hands on it ?

[27AME]

hahaha thats it!!!

suprised others have it too!

[fuse01]

thanks to you 27AME.

and i'm the first in singapore to run this BOV...

one word... SOLID.

thank you again :D

Awesome mate!!! no problems there!

Pretty sure, you and me are the only ones using this BOV worldwide :P

[fuse01]

nope we have more people using this BOV.. after i introduce them.. heheheh:D

[27AME]

you got yours done on hardest setting or softest setting?

[R3X]

you got yours done on hardest setting or softest setting?

What about you ?

[fuse01]

2.5 turns from hard. if i need more pressure i will run at full lock or 0.5 from hard.

2.5 suits my daily needs now

So you are venting in or out ?

[27AME]

i got mine on full atmo - pretty much completely soft.

Do you have other mods?

When I get my exhaust + intake + run more boost I will set it harder.

[booga]

so u dnt need mods and doesnt interfere with comp, if so im goin shopping on weekend

[27AME]

nope my car is stock + bov

[aby82]

sorry to reopen an old thread but can anyone confirm that this is the bov for evo's VI, VII, VIII - Part Number: FG-BOV-EVODP?

and will this bolt straight on??? i.e. don't need any adapters or anything.

cheers in advance..

[Macca]

thats the one

[27AME]

Just for piece of mind, I will also confirm, that is the part number yes :)

[aby82]

thanks macca and 27ame, but is it a straight change if i buy the bov FG-BOV-EVODP everything i need is with that? i don't need anything else?

27ame - u have/had one of these right? can u tell me a few things..
it's fully adjustable isn't it, so u can adjust the loudness? and if u wanna make it quiet u can??? :confused:

sorry i don't know that much about bov's but am pretty keen on one - so any input that can be provided would be great :o

[Macca]

OK

you dont need anything else to fit it, unless the stock vacume hose is too short, but i beleve its fine. ( if not grab some vacume hose (3mm i think) from auto one, its about $3/m)

its sticks in identical to the standard bypass valve.

the ONLY adjustable bit, is the spring pressure, which needs to be set correctly, it determins how quick the valve closes after pressure is released, having it too soft or hard can cause some stalling, i think some members have posted how hard to set it earlyer in this thred.

the VOLUME is NOT adjustable!!! Only the GFB Stealth FX or deceptor pro can do this, but apparently we cant take it past 50:50 atomophere/recirc due to the check engine light so the extra few hundrard $$ isnt worth it.

[aby82]

ok cheers macca - but one thing tho 27ame stated at the start of this thread that u can run it plumback... does that mean u can unscrew the trumpet and put a plate on instead - and would that make it just sound like a stock rcolt? and i'm assuming the plumback plate comes with the bov..?

cheers for ur help man

[Macca]

yes u can revove trumpet and put the plate in, not sure if it is supplied with the bov.

[phul007]

So do you find any difference in power or does the power feel different like it comes on earlier or later???

[|2colt]

I just had my car serviced ( 30k ) so i had to remove the bov. Strangely it felt like there was more power and smoother delivery. Before the car would like release the air out so viciously the car felt like it jerked in between gears. No sure if its just me lol...will put bov back on and see if im just an idiot.

[Steve-B]

hey...if u wanna sell....lol

apparently there has been a little problem like this with the bov's on evo's.

check the MRT forums.

[|2colt]

after driving with the bov back on it feels the same lol...
just wondering which way do you turn ther bov cap? e.g to make sure its 50:50.
Is it possible to release the boosted air out at a higher rpm via adjustment?
Instead of having the bov go off at 2000rpm :)

[Macca]

if its a turbosmart dual port, the knob on the front doesnt adjust the ratio if bipassed air.

the knob on the top adjusts the spring tention on the valve which opens and closes as it lets out air. more pressure on the spring the quicker it will close, it should be set at a certin point for best results.

go to the turbosmart website and download the installation manual for the dual port bov on how to set it correctly.

(you will need a 2nd person in the colt to do it)

[speedracer]

for those who have the turbosmart bov on their cars

where did you get it ?

how much ?

any retailers you recommend for best price ?

I went to Autobarn today they can order me one but its $460

[Corosith]

That's an awful lot of money to spend for something that already works! I guess if you have to have the sound, then you have to have the sound!!!:D

[fuse01]

beg steve to sell u wahahaha

NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy shit from Autobarn.

example: HKS Super SQV is $280 (converted) in Japan. YOu bring it out here, they put a 100% markup on the shipping and the product.

Just for shits and giggles I asked them to quote me for how much a Trust TD04 turbo was going to be. They quoted me 3,300 dollars.

[Steve-B]

fuse...dont be naughty ! lol,

[Corosith]

fuse01 beg steve to sell u wahahaha

Aaahh! Now I get it! I don't think he'd part with it after the so called 'stealth install' - lol!

[speedracer]

so no suggested retailers ?
*:sob:*

[Steve-B]

dude, the only place you will get it cheap is 2nd hand off ebay, everywhere else will be 400 odd.

[speedracer]

yeah checked ebay
no luck so far
will keep checking it I guess

[Steve-B]

i was checking on ebay for about 2 months...
i bought from o/s and it was 2nd hand. you just have to surf and be persistant

[Steve-B]

could be adapted to fit if you research the model and pipe diametres...

[Macca]

it would end up costing more after getting the adaptors made

[Vvip]

Anyone know the price for FG-BOV-EVODP?
Which kits set suits ralliart colt?
Will the installation of BOV void our car's warranty?

[Steve-B]

EVODP is $460AUD,
this is the evo dual port, and is a direct bolt on for the colt, and warranty issue do a forum search for you answer mate.

[Vvip]

thx mate.

[Julz]

can anyone pls post some photos from diff angles to give me an idea of how this is fitted?

Hint: The Entertainment Book (book u buy for $60 with loads of discount food/restaurant coupons, etc) has several 20% off Autobarn vouchers. Might help reduce the price a fair bit :)

Cheers

hi all,

In my opinion i *think* all dual port BOVs should work. At the moment im trying to find the cheapest option and i just found some more Turbosmart ones that may fit and only cost $320 delivered.
http://www.autospeed.com/shop/category_624/browse.html
The cheap compact turbosmart ones should work because theyre meant to be used as replacements for the stock bosch plastic ones (not sure if bosch make our colt ones).

I'm gonna try search for a cheapo Monza or Autotechnica branded dual port bov as i'm fairly confident if one exists then it should work without any engine light probs.


edit: Does anyone know the inlet and outlet sizes of the stock bov?


edit 2: Another option is this Go Fast Bits 'Hybrid' BOV http://www.alldayperformance.com.au/prod11.htm $300, or $280 posted from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GFB-GOFASTBITS-HYBRID-BLOW-OFF-VALVE-TURBO-BOOST-BOV_W0QQitemZ290170993825QQihZ019QQcategoryZ72478Q QrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

edit 3: Cheapo generic 'hybrid' dual port BOV from ebay $105 posted http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FLYING-ADJUS-TURBO-HYBRID-BLOW-OFF-VALVE-BOOST-DUMP-BOV_W0QQitemZ290187815472QQihZ019QQcategoryZ72478Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

edit 4: Finally i found it! Autotecnica (aka Monza i think) Dominator 25mm inlet/outlet dual port BOV http://www.autotecnica.com.au/performance_13.html I imagine it would be fairly cheap ~$150 tops from autobarn

[Julz]

Anyone know the price for FG-BOV-EVODP?

i think this is the bes set-up it can be legal if you get defected and takes 5min to fit


hey i bought it from Turbosmart through my business name cause they don't sell direct to consumer. I paid $374.00 (round up the cents). it was a straight replacement from standard, the only thing you have to cut the vacume line (supplied) to suit your application but it took me 5min.
The tools you need are
* Star head screwdriver
* Needly nose plyers
* Razor blade (to cut the vacume line)

[aby82]

hey ppl,

just got a reply from a guy on ebay who is selling turbosmart bov's and i asked if he can get the FG-BOV-EVODP and said they can get em for $480

that sounds really expensive - i think the RRP is less than that... i'm pretty sure autospeed had them for less

[aby82]

thats delivered... but yeah its pretty expensive - i wouldn't pay that much but just thought i'd let ppl know about it regardless

[Steve-B]

turbosmart bov is worth it, and if you want second best id say MR BOV. TBS 466, Mr Bov i can get for 175.

what's MR BOV? is it a plumbback?

[Steve-B]

Evo 8 MR ( the upgraded/higher spec version of the 8 ) BOV. Its a metal body with a higher rate spring. It is the same looking as our stock one, but like i said metal with better spring.
PM weihui if you want it. say steve sent you *wink*

o0o0o

I just bought me a red one on monday :D

Found it on ebay 3 months only, was only the valve no blanking plate or anything, all for the low price of $200 inc shipping.

Got it, inspectied it, nothing wrong, a few little scratches, stuck it in, and i love it.

ALl you need to install this is some longer vacume tube, i had some laything around ;)

[aby82]

noob q - is there any maintenance for bov's?? any lubricating or anything??

[Macca]

the reccomend lubricating them like everyyear or sumthing. But you will also have a fine mist of oil in the intake when the car is running, from the PCV valve

[Julz]

the reccomend lubricating them like everyyear or sumthing. But you will also have a fine mist of oil in the intake when the car is running, from the PCV valve

you'll get oil back into the engine anyway unless you fit an oil breather or an oil catch can. No big deal i think?

[Macca]

No big deal, thats how its designed to operate.

[kermit]

Has anyone run their FG-BOV-EVODP in dual port mode? Just curious as to what the difference would be... would that be like half the noise?

[Macca]

what do you mean by dual port. we all run ours with the trumpet and the plumb back.

[kermit]

i was reading on the turbosmart website that the 'dual port' model is 3 BOVs in one.. you can set it up to go full atmos for full sound, or full plumb back for no sound.... or in dual port mode meaning (i assume) half half...

"Three BOVs in one. The Dual Port can be configured to vent to the atmosphere, back into the air intake or both! Road-legal Plumb Back system, Supersonic for the race track, or Dual Port for the best of both worlds."
http://www.turbosmart.com.au/index.php?id=46

[Macca]

yeh it can, but i dont think anyone has tried. LOL

[kermit]

hehe...

i might have to buy one then... ;)

[bor3dboi]

can someone tell me or make a video on how the turbosmart BOV with a K & N air filter would sound like for me?? i really want to know if anyone can do that i would really appreciate it..:)

[Spaceboy]

I was under the impression all Ralliart Colt's were?

yes all colt ralliarts are manual.

version-R's etc can come in CVT auto

[|2colt]

something like zzzzrr shhhhh...:)

[Macca]

you wouldnt hear the turbo suck on the video i think, inless you stick a mic in the engine bay LOL

[Frogman]

it only makes the sucking sound whilst driving... can't really hear it while revving in neutral... i have a k&n panel filter and turbosmart bov and it sounds freaking awesome

[bor3dboi]

its alright now guys dw i kinda know what to expect anyways, i just order my K&N pod filter kit today will be getting it on thursday so ill know then when i fit it on, i was just curious how much louder the BOV will be once its on compare to stock engine with BOV..

[Macca]

where and how much for the pod filter kit?

[bor3dboi]

i tried Calling RPW they said their having trouble sourcing the POD KITS so i went on the net and found it myself, it was in the UK and looked at their Australia Dealers i found reppco near my house so i called them gave
them the part number which is 57-0649 straight away they said they can get it in price is $253 which takes 2 days getting here... gave deposit and waiting for item now...

i also made sure it was the same kit i was looking, they told me its for a Ralliart Colt K&N pod filter kit which comes with all brackets and Air flow sensor adaptor which is the main thing...

[Macca]

i think when i get my core chage back from rpw ill be getting a kit hehe.

[bor3dboi]

here's the link if any RCOLT owners wants to buy a K&N pod filter kit

http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=57-0649

just click buy now and select australia, all dealers that can get the kit in will show up so then its just the matter of calling around and find the cheapest price!!!

[panaua]

Have u tried it at highspeed roads for a couple of hours?
Is there any problem and for those with higher boost?

i am searching because my collins bov causes check engine at the highway..
And i am looking for a atmo bov..

[Macca]

i drive an hour each way for work, and never had a problems with it.
Remember its a 50:50 bov not full atmo.

And it vents to recirc before it vents to atmo. You can tell this cause the ports for recirc and atmo are not at level points on the bov, the atmo point sits lower than the recirc one. thus it opens first.

[kermit]

do you guys recommending turning it to full hard setting for trackdays?

[panaua]

i need the tsaff sound asap!!! :P

Is there anyone with mbc, so higher pressure, having the turbosmart bov..?
Could tell the adjustment of the bov...?

thnx in advance!!

[bserk]

Just finished installing my turbosmart dual and took it for a wuick hard spin. BOV sound was faint at best. Me thinks I have it at around 50:50. Will test it again tomorrow as had to bath and put bubs to sleep. But at the moment a bit disappointed with sound, espsh when I've heard other Rcolts with the same bov (from recent Mt Nebo cruise). Will try softest setting tomorrow, hopefully will get loud enough that I don't ahve to strain to hear it...

[aby82]

hey rik :) 2.5 turns from hard is supposedly the optimum setting.. see how that goes

[bserk]

Yeah I'm going to give it a go tomorrow. But I had it pretty soft and still was pretty quiet.

[Steve-B]

i run higher boost, .8bar and a TS BOV and i run 2.5 turns as well, anything harder and you have to basically get full boost to get the psst of the BOV.

[Macca]

Well guys i have had more trouble from mine this last 2 weeks.

I have developed a slight compressor surge from it, only when shifter at the 3000-4000 range you notice the surge just before it vents atmo.

So i put the standard one back on, and it went away.

Put the TS back on and it was back, only slight.

I was running it wirh 3 turns from full hard.

Now at the drags i tried it with 2 turns from hard, on the return leg i was get MAJOR!!! compressor surge before it vented atmo, and it was barley venting atmo, when i say major it was full on VL turbo style.

I then proceeded to go 4 turns from hard and it went away, i also noticed some what looked to be iceing occouring on the inside of the piston.

So this post is for guys to watch out what there bov is doing.

Also note guys mine was 2nd hand from ebay, and i have had some slight issues with it jamming in the rain. And im using a different lubricant on it.

Im more than likey going to rebuild it again, and relube with theturbosmart lube, and might replace the spring.

So thoes guys dont be put off getting one, they rock, im the only person who is having trouble with it.

[Frogman]

emperor was telling me about running it full atmo... so i tried it.

heaps louder and no problems...yet
but i have it nearly as hard as it goes

[why_bother]

didn't you have problems with condensation before? where's this water or 'icing' coming from?

i think the water getting onto it may be causing your problems. Put a cover over the trumpet so you dont get water into the BOV

the icing wont be from getting water in it, i noticed the water at the drags last night, you will get the conendation from expanding gasses thru a small hole, air conditioning work on this principal.

It hasnt been raining much before the icing issues so it wont be that, a week plus of rain, plus i had the valve out in the dry spell, and no water issues then.

I really need to check the vacume tube isnt blocked, and then all i can think of is lubricant is wrong type.

Guys who are running the turbosmart dual port with the adjustment 2.5 turns out from max, question - do you get a fluttering sound out of the bov, like it is not releasing all of the air, or is it a clean shot of air sound?

you want to adjust it so there is no/minimal flutter on low boost. 2.5turns wont work for everyone as the springs, etc. are always going to be slightly different

The flutter isnt going to be much of an issue, mate of mine had a 200sx No BOV at all for arund 100k, pulled the turbo of for an Upgrade and there was no shaft play other then the usuall.

OK i'm confused (not hard to be for me), If you set it 2.5 turns from the hardest setting, you will only get the BOV sound in the higher rev range, not the lower range?

[Steve-B]

2.5 turns, you hear it whenever you get more than .3bar of boost really. so it doesnt take much, but the bov sound isnt as loud with less boost going throu it.

Was in the Auto Shop this morning picking up a Z142a and some Penzoil and staring at me from the back wall was Turbosmart DP EVO BOV with a lowly $235.00 on the ticket.. Suffice to say the Colt is now getting an upgrade.. :)

i bought this bov and it doesnt work in my czt ..
i tried it at full atmo to full vent on without the trompet..
if u are in half throtle over 0 bar to 0.7 it gives me a safe mode..
i assume that it is because the evc...

it worked on other czts with exhaust, kn and restrictor off without any probl....

[Macca]

we use ours as half half half atmo and half recerc

[panaua]

i also tried it with no effect...

[savah]

Got mine as well... Tried Panaua's BOV first from fully soft to fully hard and it worked fine...

Yesterday when fully soft I got my first CEL from the bov...Switched off the engine, turned it 2,5 turns from hard and it seems to be working ok...

The only problem I can see is that I have a bit of fluttering...Anything to suggest? Should I try going softer?
