Blow Off Valve

[premium]

Hi

I'm considering (and saving for) a turbo on my N/A VL Commodore RB30.
I'm a huge fan of the idea of 250+ HP, but I'd like to know if they make blow off valves that don't make that stupid noise.
Others might think it's cool, but I don't like the sound of a pigeon under the bonnet.
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks, Premium.

Go to Repco they sell the quiet ones

Yeah, its called a plumb-back...

The pigeon noise is from running with no BOV...
The Pssshhhht noise is from a BOV...
A quality plumb back BOV shouldn't make much noise at all (and is legal)

Out of interest, are there different ones that make all different noises?
Noob question probly, but hey.. im a noob. lol

What your reffering to is called a dose/flutter caused from compressor surge. Its not a BOV.

BOVS make the gay chhhhhhh often found on them rice box jap cars. bovs can also make no noise.

ahh yeh the flutter thing. So whats the difference? IF you can explain in short, or have a link?

Well, is there any way to stop the flutter? (sorry for all the nooblet questions, but I know SFA about Turbochargers)

Im pretty sure thats what the BOV's are for and yes there are silent ones around and they do serve a purpose

Ah, thanks!
My field of knowledge is in Red motors, not RB30's (despite owning a VL...)

No worries man, yeah my mate has a hq and they are so simple to work on. Im also looking to put a turbo on my vl when i get my p's or enough money but i dont have the so called "series 2" block so ill just put a turbo motor into mine and not worry about converting everything

Here is your lesson on dosing

buy an adjustable bov, has a soft and hard setting.. softer the more quite.

I had a GFB Steath BOV. Had both a trumpet and also plumb back. About $500 from memory
