well i guess u get the jist of how a BOV really works... surely u can see how it really isn't going to be feasible at all on a VTEC (which is a totally different concept)? :).
yeah dood.. sorri fellas my bad..! i never did the research!..
VTEC is not the same concept as a turbo...
If you search the forum, maybe under Technical, there is a thread of what VTEC is. Find it.
But brief explanation is that it is the variable valve timing in Honda cars. Just by saying that, you can tell that it has nothing to with a turbo, and therefore nothing to do with blow-off valves.

this calls for the old peanuts explanation.
think of a motor as moving peanuts between 2 bins (intake and exhaust).
to make more power, u have to move more air, or in this case its peanuts.
to do this theres 3 main ways of increasing peanuts/air movement.
get a bigger cup between the 2 bins so u can carry more peanuts between the bins this is the reason for having V8s etc etc
run between the bins faster, so that u increase the peanut movement between the bins at a faster rate. This is the VTEC analogy :)
finally, u can cram the shit out of each cup so that u get more peanuts in a cup for each run between the cylinders. Thsi is turbo/SC/N2o :)
hope that helps :P
What about the Variable Valve systems and Turbo in later model Nissan turbos?

Nissan didn't implement variable valve timing AND lift in their turbo cars.
Makes no diff, the only thing blowing off is the air-pressure cause by the turbo.Quote:

heck even your water heaters at home have one :lol:
All it does is stop the air wave hitting back onto the compressor blades of the turbo. You can fit one on your N/A civic but it will never open up.
Just when you thought the gene pool had been totally cleaned out... :roll: :roll: :roll:
