It seems to me. The reason for, and or need for the filter. Is right after the BOV opens. It creates a vacuum inside it for a short time. Hence the need for the filter. Does that sound about right ?
The idea of a BOV or similar that goes 'psssh' on a turbo car is out dated and not good for your turbo or performance.
It comes from the 1980s when racing cars with big turbos would dump the air from the turbo between gear changes (when the throttle is shut) to keep the turbo spinning and reduce lag. However, it's better to re-route that dumped air back to the intake side of the turbo as this provides even greater performance.
It's for the sound only, anyone saying otherwise is selling them.
DONT listen 2 this guy A BOV is to release the pressure from the turbo when it needs it and that just so happen to be when the throttle shuts and by RECYCLING like u said yes push even more pressure on the turbo and makes Turbo Surge (when the pressure forces the air back out the turbo its self) and that makes the turbo fan spin the other way which is VERY VERY VERY BAD so if u wanna fuck up your turbo and your car at the same time by all means be a fuck face and do what this guy say

@SnowAura1337 Go to mazda's website 33k the r3 model, the sports model 27k and this engine is better than the rx7's engine because its a lot smoother, all its missin is a turbo >_>
i am saving uo for a rx8 2010 and i plan on throwin a GReddy Mazda RX8 Turbo Kit w/ Intercooler and throwing performance parts like trubos and such will this make my gas mileage better or worse cuase i hav a 71 cutty and i put a eldebrock carb on and i get 160 miles to the tank and i want i car that i can make fast and still get awesome mileage
ok where the fuck are u guys getting that a rx8 starts at 40k its called google use it before stating a idiotic remark about pricing i bought a brand new r3 which was 32k but bc it was last years model i got it for 28k so your fucking stupid
40k are you fucking nuts??? a new rx8 cost 26k the sport model and the r3 cost 32k wtf are you talking about. The rx7 cost 40k when it came out, jesus get your facts str8. And btw this engine is better than the rx7 engines.
i actually like where the gauges are, the only thing i worry about is the engine man , i just raplaced 2 this week and last month i replaced 4 i hope it lasts long other than that it does sound very good .
@Soffex Nothing sucks about it. The gauges can be placed anywhere. I happen to have navigation system, so the usual center area is taken. There is an A piller option, but I liked it down on the steering area so you can't see anything from outside.
@bikerboomer It's ironic that you're calling the BOV retarded since your comment is the only thing retarded. The car is MAP based not MAF, so it doesn't need to meter the air through the intake. Additionally the BOV seals shut when boost starts. That means anything above -10 inHg. Please read up on the Synchronic BOV before making yourself look silly. ktnx.
@tyrannical im not calling the BOV retarded, im calling the filter retarded. Now i did not know it was only MAP based and no longer usses a maf, so with that fact a vacuum leak wouldnt effect your fuel flow. So i guess it really does not matter, however most cars are not MAP based, so they could not use this bov.
@bikerboomer Ah ok - then I take that back :) MAF cars can use it. There is an "anti-stall" valve that prevents sucking in air in non boost situations.
@bikerboomer ok dude the synchronic sucks in air while accelerating to give the turbo time to get air to the engine so it dosent bog or give bad throttle response
No difference, had the bov on my Corolla recirc and vent to atmosphere, and removed entirely. No difference at all. Boost pressure was monitored via datalog on the ECU, not a damn difference.
@davidzzz94 maybe because this blow off valve remains open at idle,so the engine sucks air through it when its idling and unfiltered air isnt that good for your engine :D and i think the filter muffles the bovs sound a little? :) somebody tell me if im wrong :)
Iv never had an rx7 or 8 but i keep getting told there slow, is this true? Apparently all the power is high revs but its only for a short amount of time?
I've been told the same thing, only thing i know is the one i raced i beat and i only have I/H/E he was built and turboed, but come to find out he can't drive worth shit so i'm not sure. just my .02
RX-7 are not slow from stock, but RX-8s are consdered "slow" for a sports car. The main complaint with RX-8s is that they lack tourqe, but that problem can be solved by turbo charging it.
the car revs all the way to 9k so he probably has almost 20 boost total. i love the look and the way rx8 drives but thers not as muc htoys to play with under the hood you got a air intake ... turbo ...exhaust manifold? cat muffler tip thats about it right? dont turn this into a flame way i dont know much abotu the rotary engine
I wouldnt say as many.... I've owned 2 Rx7s before... and theres really not that much you can mod, its mostly tuning, your manifolds, injectors, ignition system, etc... internally they have no cams so to alter your "valve" timing you have to port the housings, also allowing more airflow in that youre making the holes biggers, etc... but theres REALLY not that much to mod internally on a rotary...
Hey i have a question i have a mazda 3 2004 stick shift 2.3 lts. & i want to know if i can install a BLOW OFF VALVE, all my engine is stock except the ecu system, i mean no turbo, no intercooler, can i install it without that ????????
Without a turbo, there is nothing to "blow off". The turbo compresses air and forces it into the engine. The BOV releases that air so there isn't compressor surge (air pushing back against the turbo when the throttle body is closed)
higher octane reduces the chance of detonation NOT how much fuel the injectors dump into the cylinder. SO HAHAHAH to you when you blow your fucking motor
go run a rich-er mixture with your regular octane gas and blow your motor to fresh hell because you think that MORE of that weak ass fuel is gonna save your motor
Well less of that "weak ass fuel isn't going to help.
The point that most are trying to make (I think) is that it is safer to run a LITTLE rich so that in the event of a boost spike, sticking waste gate, BOV, etc there is a bit of scope for saving the engine.
@KtfoMustang, everyone here is correct but you. 14.7 afr is technically "ideal", but you cannot use it in FI as it would blow the engine. Thus you will usually only see 14.7 at idle, and closed loop cruising. Any WOT activity will involve a richer mix. Somewhere around 12.5 is usually the target for boosting, you can go leaner if you have solid fuel, but people usually want a little buffer from the bleeding edge because things can and do go wrong.
They are very sensitive to detonation and if you get a big lean out you don't usually get a second chance. I got lucky on one occasion when new to Rotors.
Like I said, rather not take the chance, better to be safe than rebuilding.
Wow you guys can't see the turbocharger at the begining of this vid, and can't hear it throughout. No shit, that's a boost gauge, and that one on the right is the voltmeter.
the reason they fit it with an air filter, it's always open and allowing air to get sucked in, or escape. There is zero chance of getting compressor surge. The BOV operates on the reverse of a standard BOV. It's always open, and only seals when there's enough pressure to force it shut.
This isn't the RX-7. The engine in NA form can go over 150k miles no problem (We don't have a ton of data yet since the car was only released in 2004), but the early ones had issues because the OMP was not flowing enough oil, which caused engine damage over time. Since been fixed, so no reason for them not to go to 200k if maintained.
i have a hks ssq and its very loud and sensitive, i dont like yours as its not that loud,maybe more efficient but i pay more for the noise im afraid,it looks good with the filter on it,what does your car rev to anyway,they rev high as standard so im just curious
It depends on package level, how much gas is in the car, driver weight, etc. But generally speaking, it's around 3000 lbs. If you strip it down you can go to 2800 lbs without a lot of trouble.
it really weighs that much? thats seems high since the motor weighs nothing lol i guess its all in the frame, i know they had a hard time keeping it stable with the rear doors. i really would have thought they where lighter. i have a gto and i always thought it was really heave but it wieghs about 3700. its a sick car though man. ill have one some day:)
this is cool....totally and i researched what that filter did. i was gonna post sime dumb comment when, ur message popped up. lol

what's that gauge on the right that shows 10-17? is that a voltmeter perhaps?

that would be a wideband. shows the air/fuel ratio.

Sexy. But pitty rotaries requires frequent rebuilds. Of course, depending on how you drive it :)

This isn't the RX-7. The engine in NA form can go over 150k miles no problem (We don't have a ton of data yet since the car was only released in 2004), but the early ones had issues because the OMP was not flowing enough oil, which caused engine damage over time. Since been fixed, so no reason for them not to go to 200k if maintained.

weld er up let the boost build till the engine blows who needs a blow off
ssumerix 2 years ago
your thinking of a wastegate.... a BOV does not control boost, just un wanted pressure built up between shifts.

PSI is basically how compressed the air is in the piston.. higher, more power, faster engine wears off.

how much does that car wiegh stock?

It depends on package level, how much gas is in the car, driver weight, etc. But generally speaking, it's around 3000 lbs. If you strip it down you can go to 2800 lbs without a lot of trouble.

thats wierd bro but i hurd the rotary engine is lighter then a piston engine
454sskilla 2 years ago
it really weighs that much? thats seems high since the motor weighs nothing lol i guess its all in the frame, i know they had a hard time keeping it stable with the rear doors. i really would have thought they where lighter. i have a gto and i always thought it was really heave but it wieghs about 3700. its a sick car though man. ill have one some day:)
