Guest xforxlifex Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Will a blow off valve work well with an EA82T(89 rx 3dr hatch) if your boosting around 10-12 psi? If so what brands are suggested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest electryc monk Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 funny i have not heard anothing on a BOV for the system of the EA82T......... interesting eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SOOBME Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Get one off of an RX7 or an Eclips, they are "by pass" valves and can be plumbed back into the intake hose <span style="color:red;">before</span> the turbo and <span style="color:blue;">after</span> the AFM and they will work fine;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skip Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I run a Volvo, but Saabs have been used as the others mentioned Note because of the MAF employed by an EA82T a By Pass Valve (BPV) is recommended over the Blow Off Valve (BOV) as the metered air is fed back into the system. Hope this helps <img src="http://www.westol.com/neper/willyengwdescsmall.jpg"/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest archemitis Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 i have never seen a starion intercooler that shape, arent they longer?... i like the ford and mada(turbo 626 and probe) bypass valves over the mitsubishi, or volvo, cuz they are bigger, where the boost flows through, and where it shoots it out. very easy to plumb inline too... but its plastic:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carfreak85 Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 actually i was reading an article that compared a bunch of stock and aftermarket blow off valves, etc. and the OEM WRX recerculation. valve had the best overboost and oscillation control of any of the valves tested. just a thought! i can supply scans of the article if anyone is interested.

Guest carfreak85 Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 actually the WRX valve had the best overboost and oscilation of any OEM or aftermarket valves tested in a comparison in Sport Compact Car. i can supply scans of the article to anyone who wants to check it out.

Guest xforxlifex Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 ok so still a little confused but what would happen if i did go and put an aftermarket BOV on an ea82t, if that would even work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest calebz Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Someone(oddcomp?) just did a little write up a couple of weeks ago about using a saab(bosch) BOV on an ea82t. seems to have met with success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
