After finding out last week that to cure the dreaded "GooseHonk" noise I needed to get a BOV or Dumpvalve fitted instead of the standard recirc valves.

Well I've phoned around and visited various websites but I cant seem to find anything with much change out of £400!!

Does anyone know of anything cheaper or another alternative,any help in this will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

F.T.

You're not going to get anything much cheaper than that I don't think. Problem is you need 2 of everything on a Z :(

 

I did put a link to the Thai Z site where a guy has made up some pipework to use a single BOV but you probably need metal hard pipes to do it.

 

Have a search of the forum for single BOV or similar.

Turbo XS x2 with fitting kit is 340.00 from impossible performance.

Are they easy to fit ?.

On a scale of 1 - 5. 1 being my nan could do it and she's in a zimmer frame and 5 being Get yourself a top engineer to do the job.

Yes and no. There is a link on AndyP's site for instructions. But like with any job on the Z be prepared to loose most of your skin.

 

If your mechanically minded then yes 2 hours, if not then dont try it!

Hi Roy, I've just purchased sume HKS Bov's and the instructions are in japanese, cud follow pics but wud rather be able to read sum kind of instructions, what is AndyP's website?, or do u have any idea where i can get hold of any english instructions for these particuler BOV.

Are HKS jobbies really that good ? r is it just the brand name u r paying for ?

 

They all dump the boost pressure ?

Think of it terms of farting:

 

Some BOV sound like a womans fart, sort of ppfhhut squeek. Others sound like a big fat scottish haggis eating mans trump.. Vvvvvvrrt, ta tishhhhh, quack(!)

 

It is that sort of flatulence you are paying for, not a brand name.

Turbo XS's Suck .... or don't blow as the xase is ?

 

in comaprioson to HKS jobbies

You've been busy James. You managed to take that off your car and take a picture of it with a nice white back ground. ;) ;).

Will see you Saturday even if it is a little damp, as long as it's not chucking it down, I'll get it sorted for you.
