This is my first time posting on S2K, as I now have a question that I believe has not been asked or adressed by others; I was hoping that somebody could post/upload a video recording of their Supercharged S + B.O.V. (any MY, Comptech or Vortech, any level of boost, & any model B.O.V. will work--just please mention your specifics with respect to the aforementioned). Ideally, I would like to hear both how your car sounds at idle, & also between shifts. Clearly, the more variety of setups that are available for hearing (the more people that post), the better.

I don't believe I've ever heard a Blower + B.O.V. combination, much less on an S2000, & being how I am interested in purchasing a Supercharger for my car, I think such a clip could help me decide on this extra modification.

I apologize if my request is trivial--hopefully it can be of benefit to others, particularly those who have been relying on verbal descriptions of how the various B.O.V.'s sound in order to guide their purchases.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say but it has been asked and answered on an almost daily basis since Adam was in Little League.

To summarise:
The SCs aren't high boost so don't expect the whole turbo PHSSSFFTT sound.
SC's always pump so the BOV is always open except at WOT. They exhale continuously. Even at idle.
If the primary reason you want FI is for BOV noises you've got it assed backwards. What you really want is this:

My turbo kit will have a bypass valve and be as silent as possible.

 

It seems I wasn't clear. I would like to have something more than a verbal description, such as phsssfftt or psshh or whoosh.
I understand the concept & dynamics of "supercharging" vs. turbine-driven supercharging to a reasonable extent. S2KI members have previously asked which B.O.V. to buy, but I have not heard one clip of a supercharged (not turbo) B.O.V.
If I've searched inadequately and you believe there is such media on S2KI, please point me in that direction.
Your Tsunami suggestion is humorous, but it doesn't get at what I'm asking. Secondly, my "primary" reason for FI is not the sound simulated by a B.O.V.
I wish your turbo kit much luck & power.

 

Here is the MPG of the BOV on my Comptech SC:

Turbosmart Kompact

It and several other have been posted several times.

Sorry if I come off frustrated about this question but it really does seem as if the 'Force Induction' forum is becoming the "Who's got da fully sickest BOV?" forum.

 

The Godzilla Valve will get you the sound your looking for.

Click on my link in the sig.

 

I've had mine on for a week and it's LOUD.. it does vent at idle and at cruising.
I turned the horn on the BOV so it faces down.. You can hear it venting at cruising speed but it's not unbearable and hardly noticable with the top up.

The Godzilla BOV from turbonetics is much louder than the Tial Bov.

Trust me....you will scare women and children with this setup.

I have the Comptech Aftercooler so it's a direct bolt on replacement for the Bosch by-pass valve. Takes about 15 minutes to install.

 

Is the Godzilla retrofitable to the Vortech aftercooler?

 

Thank you all for the replies and input. Revhi, i actually clicked on your link a few days ago, and I agree that your goodies sound quite clean. May I ask what pulley you are using?
I was hoping that a few more people (with presumably a variety of setups)--Silver S2k4, EriS2k, & djmatix to name a few--would post a video of what they have so that this topic within "Forced Induction" would serve to answer most people's questions now & in the future about what BOV to go with. That way, such information will be consolidated, rather than being haphazardly or tangentially adressed withing "FI", and we can thereby limit this aesthetic fetish from spreading & dominating all discussion (as my aussie friend justifiably believes it is doing).
Best on all your S2ks

I have the blitz and I will post it up just as soon as I get my car back from the paint shop....

 

The video was made with the stock pulley, Im running 7 psi now.
