Awesome! Should be ordering in the next couple days. Fingers crossed it'll still work with the intake I have on order.
The introductory sale is now over as we quickly sold out of the first production units, however, we have plenty back in stock now.
$175 plus any applicable taxes and/or shipping.
Forge Motorsport | Hyundai Genesis Coupe Blow-Off Valve
- billet aluminum construction
- Viton silicone o-ring sealed piston-based internals - no diaphragm to fail
- 3 interchangable springs and included shims to adjust for varying boost levels
- o-ring sealed cap with swivel vacuum nipple
- fully rebuildable
- lifetime warranty
The valve spring tuning kit will be included with this product, and comes with 3 springs and two shims/washers to adjust for boost holding capcity and valve response from 5 to over 30 PSI.
The Forge direct replacement blow-off valve is designed to be a more durable and performance oriented valve than the OEM unit. The OEM valve is suitable for stock boost levels for a period of time, however, once boost pressure is raised, and after prolonged use, the stock valve will no longer be adequate.
Raising the boost output of the vehicle will have a number of effects on the OEM valve. First and foremost, the additional boost pressure will quickly exceed the capcity of the OEM spring to keep the valve closed under higher boost levels. Since you cannot change the springs in the OEM valve, it cannot be adjusted for higher boost levels. Secondly, the additional heat generated by the increased boost will quickly deteriorate the OEM rubber valve diaphragm, which will also lose strength with repeated oscillations.
The Forge valve uses full billet aluminum construction and Viton silicone o-rings that will withstand the highest boost levels and repeated abuse. It is also tunable for varying boost levels with the included spring tuning kit. If there is ever a problem with the valve such as a torn o-ring, replacements are available free of charge, and the valve is fully rebuildable.
Because the Genesis Coupe 2.0T does not use a MAF (mass air flow) sensor, there is no reason that the residual boost pressure at throttle lift cannot be vented to the atmosphere such as with this valve. The engine management does not meter the air volume entering the engine, so this residual pressure can be discharged without any adverse affects on the performance or driveability of the vehicle.
Additionally, the valve being open at an idle or vacuum condition is a normal occurance, and is not indicative of a leaking valve. If the intake manifold is in vacuum, even while cruising at speed, the valve may be open. The OEM valve operates in this same manner, however, it is just not visible/audible because it is recirculating instead of vented to the atmosphere. Using a stiffer spring to keep the valve closed at a vacuum condition may result in too stiff of a spring tension to effectively discharge pressure at a throttle lift condition.

Which intake?
No reason why it shouldn't work, unless the intake in question somehow affects the stock valve as well?
The CP-E intake is the one I have on order, it has a filter box with it. Not sure of the size of the box but I'm hoping since this fits with the OEM box it'll fit with the CP-E as well.
Here is a pic of the intake..
Is this BOV the same height as the stock on?

It's taller by a small margin, but from all the measurements I have taken, there is ample height above (laterally away from since it's mounted sideways) the stock valve with almost any setup that should provide more than enough room to fit our valve.
If this fits with the intake i have i will order.

RRM Intake
Eibach Pro-Kit
+ much more
That intake doesn't look as though it impacts the stock valve in any way whatsoever, so I don't forsee there being a problem with our valve.
Shipment arrives tomorrow!![]()
