Can you comment on others saying that without tuning this could be damaging to te engine in the long run? Just curious because I love that sound and I want it.

If they haven't said it yet, they are not going to. It will hurt their sales.

Venting to atmosphere blow off valves will cause your car to run rich between shifts. This will lead to more fuel in the oil, higher exhaust gas temps, and possible back firing from too much fuel being sent out the exhaust valves.

As long as you keep an eye on your oil becoming too diluted with fuel, that shouldn't be an issue. The issue is the catalytic converters. They are burning all this extra fuel which causes them to wear much faster. You'll get significantly less life on your exhaust system. Backfiring can also blow the catalytic converter elements apart. If you have a catless exhaust system you have nothing to worry about with a VTA BOV.

If you feel the whoosh sound is worth all the additional strain to your car, then go for it. It's your car, do what makes you happy. Honda is going to use the BOV as an excuse to not warranty also.


*edit: Idk why I typed "not" when I said "Honda is (not) going to use the BOV... They absolutely will.

You can get the whoosh by removing the intake resonator and getting an aftermarket resonator

You cant tune a VTA BOV on a recirculation valve system. but you CAN do whatever you want to your car though. Just know the consequences of using the parts you do

Considering I'm running much higher pressures right now. Aftermarket BOV is in my sights. Let us know when you guys have the release date! Same with the motor mount

We have many testers that are running this piece and have experienced no issues. The car does not experience any new turbo lag, does not throw a check engine light, and is not stuttering or sputtering. Some of these vehicles are stock, some of them are modified.

Hahaha. Very true.. and vocal seems a bit of an understatement at this point ha.

I mean, you can do what you want to your car, but ignoring advice from a trusted tuner who probably knows more about this stuff than anyone here is probably not a good idea. to each his own though
