The BOV article from SCC mag is out on the ftp.
bov.pdf
It is a test of 37 different BOV/DV.

 

yea I saw it...said ssbov was best sounding, but not the best... my recirculates so doesnt even sound great... got before the article

I'm going to sound like an uneducated dumb *** here, but how do you read/translate the graphs in that article... always wondered how the 1G BOV and Forged Motorsport for the Evo VIII stacked up in that test verses the others.

 

The chart shows the pressure in the IC pipe on a 1-2 Shift. The scans are a little hard to tell but it is time on the bottom and pressure on the left side. Basically as you can see from the very first chart with no BOV it surged really bad with the graph going up and down like a saw blade. Any drop and rise is a surge and as you can see, all the aftermarket valves had some surge right at throttle close. The stock valves have really nice graphs but they tend to open and leak boost. This was done on a 2G car, I think at about 9 psi of boost. For the money, the Forge is just as good and better then some of the others. I have one and am happy with it. I don't know how well the 1G valve would hold up at 20 psi of boost, probably better if it was a crushed top version.

That help, dumbass? j/k
Not that easy to read them on the scan.

 

got it...

 

I keep getting no more connections allowed for this IP message... Is your ftp server open?

Yes. What ftp client are you using?
It is set for 1 connection per IP because it allows more people on and doesn't affect the download speed anyway. Your software is trying to make multiple socket connection to the ftp server.

 

was the file deleted? just logged on but didnt see it, also hit refresh on my client as well.

Thanks

 

bov.pdf, it's there. No one has delete in the directory but me.
I just checked so I know it's there.

 

not sure how to access the ftp. Is it still possible to get a hold of this article?

 

Try to google it. I will take this opportunity in this 8 year old thread to say that I miss SCC mag dearly.

 

You might want to check with these guys too. They might be able to dig it up.
