Thanks, yeah I just looked up some of the responses to it. I knew of Bisi from the 1000hp honda odyssey so thought maybe he knew his stuff, but it seems the long term consensus from all the tuners that it can be harmful holds true.
Yea I seen this video too, and honestly that’s what helped my idea of running a Bov. Most threads did mention he did a couple dyno runs and maybe didn’t show anything much but he wouldn’t able to confirm the longevity of the engine because he doesn’t daily drive this platform or invested. Also while reading these threads I seen edge Motorsport reply and were saying something along the line of they’ve sold plenty of Bov and haven’t had any complaints from customers or their own experience. I personally took mine off even tho I bought my Bov from them and their video also convinced me to try this Bov.
Has there been someone with a cai, or with a intercooler, and maybe a race maf running a Bov? Since more fuel is going into the engine, would it be possible to eventually tune it to a good air to fuel ratio?I had to go back a few years but I found an interesting post from VitViper (the original 10th gen tuning guru). In the screenshot below, he compares fuel trims with the stock BPV and then with a BOV. You be the judge:
No. No. No. The ONLY way to run a BOV on ANY 10th gen is with a standalone (MoTeC or similar) ECU and tune for Speed Density. A BOV will hurt any MAF car in the long run.
I've been asking everyone who says they're running one successfully, have you looked at your valves, cylinder walls, and spark plugs recently and over time to see if there seems to be any accelerated wear? Any pics?
i didn’t use boomba, I had a hks with an adapter plate. It may not mean anything difference wise but without it I was running perfectly with constantly beating on it untilI got my bov a week later to me it made sense since that’s the only engine mod and the history of Bov in general. I truly hate to say it but it was a waste of money on my end, but at the end of the day do what you please with your car. Tbh I had the best time with the Bov.?
not to be rude, obviously no one is going to give you these requests you’re asking for. You’re ask dudes who changed 3 8mm bolts to take their head off just to see the cylinder walls and valves to disappoint them ? , I’ll understand with the spark plugs or even datalogs if they are tuned.
i do have a question about wear tho, once I had installed the Bov I did notice the richness and the pops but not that I took off the valves I still have that excessive pops and in between shifts at high rpm I get a pop or two, would it be that my ecu is reading rich still or it that normal after my muffler delete?
I think Derek Robinson said it best.
i thought over boosting was okay? I hit 17-18 on the regular and I’m stock, I’ve even seen 21 for like a second. It’s not consistently at 17 or 18 once I hit that it goes back down to 14. On the other hand when I had my Bov I would struggle to pass 14, I think it was my installation at that point.I think Derek Robinson said it best. Forget about the potential long terms issues with the catalytic converter or spark plugs fouling or oil dilution. BOV's can have you overshooting your boost targets, which could be a real problem for your engine internals (imagine hitting 27psi targeting 23, for example).
