dump valve question

Recommended Posts

Dump valves are BOVs, just different names.

 

I'm guessing you're talking about turbo chatter when you say the chirping noise - some singles you can run with no BOV and the pressure goes back through the turbo; stalling it and giving a chatter noise.

a dump valve or BOV will usually give a different kind of noise depending on the size and shape of the flute that the air comes out of.

yes fella, it does eliminate the hissing to a degree and will replace you recurc' blow off valve, the blow off valve is also better for your tubbies than a dump-vale, as it only dumps pressure thats the tubbies dont need, dump valves however do just that, they dump all pressure between gear change, wich mean your tubbs do have to work a little harder to spool up again

it does make quite a convincing story though JohnA, you have to admit.

 

certainly for someone like myself who knows not a lot about tubbies, bov's etc would more than likely believe every word of it.

 

wouldn't mind knowing the facts though if there are any experts in here?

 

ps

 

you getting rid of the n/a then dark?

Dump Valves and BOV's are the same.

But you can have Push or Pull type.

And you can have recirculating or "to atmosphere" BOV's.

 

Recirculation BOV's are best used with MAF based Supra's and are quieter.

Atmospherics are best on MAP based Supras these are loud.

 

The only DV/BOV I know of that chirps is the BAILEY one, it did it on my 200SX....however, for all I know the unit was faulty and I was actually getting turbo chatter :shrug:

 

Not running a bov and getting the noise you want through stalling the turbo's is a VERY BAD IDEA!!!! Don't even contemplate it. Too much stress, only race cars should do it imo.
