Just installed a TiAL QR BOV, easy install. Had to trim the intercooler shroud a little. The TiAL Blow Off Valve Adapter I used Fits Mazdaspeed 3 / 6 / CX-7 ALL by Torque Solution.

you set to 50/50? any video of how it sounds while driving in and out of vehicle? been thinking either this or an HKS havent decided on which

KenB350z

Yeah, I will try to get a sound clip.

deschnes2006

So if I buy a BOV for speed 3 or 6, it should install in the same bolt?

i just realized you are full recirc and you dont have it going to atmosphere at all

KenB350z

Yes, it's the same and will bolt right up. By the way deschnes2006, can you look around canada and see if any salvage yards have a RDX canadian gauge cluster? KM..

KenB350z

I'm going with either a 9psi spring or 7psi spring. I'm getting a little flutter dump with the 11psi at low rpm; however at high boost high rpm it opens good.

KenB350z

Recirculating.

bluecarbonfiber

ya haha.. thats what i said.. full recirc.. if you had it doing atmosphere there would be another opening.. i was thinking one that does that.. so now im really curious on how it sounds.. specially with the intake

KenB350z

This is just a little vid of what the current BOV sounded like, the 11psi spring is to stiff. I ordered a 9 and 7psi spring to see if it helps with the fluttering.

deschnes2006

yes, I'll watch, but used parts are rare for Acura, even for our el 2005 is difficult. I know you yours if I find something.

bluecarbonfiber

it is still alot louder then i expected.. but ya i see what youre talking about on the flutter.. sounds like a machine trying to wine down haha curious on if the 7 or 9 spring will make a difference.. sounds really good when you get on it =)

KenB350z

I will shoot another video with the 9 and 7psi springs when they come in.

Hey Ken, I've been following your posts around, thanks a lot taking the time to share with us!

Off topic real quick, what intake are you using? Thanks!

KenB350z

It's just a custom 3 inch pipe with a 8 inch K&N filter on it. That setup requires relocating the battery.

jo.jacques

Thats why I couldn't recognize it! Thanks for the info.

KenB350z

New springs are in, going to try the 9psi and work my way down if needed. When I open up the BOV it was a 12psi spring in there, damn harsh. What you see here is a 12psi (yellow), 11psi (plain), 9psi (white) and 7psi (black) spring.

bluecarbonfiber

i never noticed you changed out your return hose like from the bov back to the intake.. what kind of hosing did you use? been thinking of changing out that plastic one since it has a resonator box with it too..

second question have you noticed a difference in the boost pressure when changing through gears now that you changed out the BOV? some people say they can feel a difference others say there is no change was curious on your thoughts since you have way more done then me

KenB350z

I just have a 90 degree coupler T-clamps, s shaped pipe (on page 1 of the build). With all the stuff I have done I wouldn't feel much. The BOV looks and sounds better IMO.

bluecarbonfiber

the new spring help you? any new video of sound if it did? curious on if there was a change

KenB350z

Ok, before I got a lot of fluttering so I changed the spring several times and landed on 7 psi and it still flutter. Now, I put the vacuum line straight off the intake manifold and it worked just like stock but with TiAL twist. Now, I'm going to see what the recommended spring does (11psi for Honda and Acura vacuum).

KenB350z

bluecarbonfiber

sounds really good.. so i know you have a vacuum line bar setup on your rbc did you have to drill a new hole? or just convert it a different line?

KenB350z

Yes, I have a vacuum manifold which is running off the adapter plate from PRL that is supporting the brake booster, fuel pressure regulator, and water/meth. The BOV is hook directly to the manifold.

SEXY AS FU@#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's how it sounds

crxtype-r

car sounds great! pulls nice with good acceleration. did you have the sh-awd setup or running fwd ( heard tire chirp). darn good for running 13 psi. also what's your redline ?

KenB350z

That clip was with just FWD. 7200k redline

KenB350z

Sorry for the sideways vid.

gaTorSXtasy

Absolutely loving it. I apologize if I'm asking for a lot but do you happen to have a video from the outside? Thanks!

KenB350z

I will have to get some outside vids of the car when it hits the roads again.

rdxchris710

Ken i need the link for the bov flange. I just bought one of these NGR type-s's. I love the whistle they make.



video..
It will take 30psi so no worries of leaks.

awesome.. now i need to find a shop to build the hard recirc pipe.

KenB350z

Nah bro, just get an s pipe.

KenB350z

I'm running just an S shaped pipe like this one.



You will need to find coupler like this to complete the install. You need to measure your BOV to know what the size to get. (Example: ?-to-1.5 BOV end and 1.5-to-1.25 to the intake end.)

I know you have the BOV on recirculation but if I just bolt it on as is will it vent out as 50/50

Rinja

forget what I asked I was retarded asking before researching

KenB350z

Cool, my new setup will just vent into atmosphere.

Rinja

Sorry I'm really noob at this but I want to get into modding do you mind helping me out with a list of parts I need for the bolt up
