I've seen a few here: http://www.toronto-subaru-club.com/

I though BOVs only go on turbo charged cars?

yeah they usually do, but the previous owner of the supercharger kit I bought had one on his. I figured since there is already a flange on the piping for one, I might as well install one instead of blocking it off.
I'm probably not going to look at buying a new one since it probably wont do much for me =)

Oh OK, I guess they don't "blow" until a certain psi, and superchargers don't create that much pressure anyways right?

Your project seems really interesting, can't wait to see it and hear it whistling

, when's the projected finish date?

spring time right dj?

i called shotgun first!!! lol

i hope u get a BOV, that'll sound sick when u shift, M-ATTACK has one with his blower, and wasabi..a blower can make as much PSI as a turbo, but with turbo u just turn a dial...blower u gotta change a pulley.

I'm pretty sure if I get a BOV that is adjustable between 8psi and 12psi, it'll make the sound. I also want it as sort of an insurance for my engine when I'm installing the kit so that I dont pump too much psi into my engine by accident. I have a few pulleys now, and I want to try them all until I get the psi rating that works best for my car's engine.

I'm hoping the project will be ready before summer. All I can say is i'm not going to go out there and install this all while it's still below 0 and snowing

(and just to let you know it's absolutely KILLING me to have everything sitting in my bedroom since last october/november, and having to look at every day before I goto sleep. I have dreams EVERY night about driving my supecharged e36 =)

p.s. dont tell my gf i dont dream about her anymore lol!

Reiger Infinity II, that's the one with the fender flares? I've always wanted those, or the Esquiss flares.

Dreaming about our car? Don't we all?

djcontra · 03-05-2003, 05:18 PM

yeah the kit came with fender flares.
I dont think i'll install them the first year around though because I cant afford wide enough rims/tires for it.
I'm not even sure i like these flares, but they go nicely with the kit none the less.
the goofiest thing is the spoiler, the thing is gigantic!!
i'm gonna have that shopping cart look but oh well, it suits the lines of the car at least
