You want a louder BOV?
very much so yes, as well as the spool and stuff
@carfun changed his to the HKS SSQV I believe, had to get a custom adapter made I think ?

@carfun
do you think you could post a video of how it sounds? that would be amazing!
I think he did in one of his threads, unfortunately I can't seem to find it so hopefully he responds to this !
I think Boomba Racing was making one or something too... Don't know if they gave up!

They definitely did not give up. They installed one today on a tester 10thgen Civic so I'm sure they'll drop the info on it very soon.

You do not want to put a vent to atmosphere blow off valve on these civic engines. You can not tune for the loss of air the ecu is measuring and expecting. You will run rich if you put a blow off valve on. Vit says you can get a recirc valve that will make the cool noise we are all looking for.

Boomba is now saying they are working on a recirculating BOV and 50/50 version.I personally am not really interested in this but thought Id share what Ive read.

to clarify, they are "looking into it" I dont think they have begun the work yet. I want to be able to hear my recirc valve bc I think its cool. Some thing its dumb but whatever. Im not going to put that VTA BOV just for noise though, I want it done right

Hey guys if you wanna know how to install the blow off valve in the Honda Civic Rs I'm gonna upload 3 videos up that you can take a look at
How the blow off valve sounds in the Honda Civic 2016

That's actually quite loud. I've seen videos of other peoples and I guess because of the sound quality, I couldn't hear it too much. But on yours I can definitely hear it, especially in the drive by. How much was it on eBay ??

It's how you install it as well, on eBay it was $65 so it's pretty good
The sound is amazing
any upgrade with this hks bov?
or just the sound?
the car also has a map sensor that should override the differential in air in the ecu. prove me wrong. everyone with the bov saying 0 issues. but more time should tell.
