Intake And BOVs

[Macca]

Yeah thats what I thought, thats why I was going to plumb it back, But if it doesn't run rough Ill probably just keep it as VTA.

Well Dawso dose she run rough at all?

Those recirculation pieces arnt cheap are they, Paul where did you get yours from for how much? It might be cheaper for me to give the metal fabricators at work the measurements and a couple of six packs.

SSQV doesn't have spring tension adjustment since its dual chamber... I believe the racing spec one does have it though..

Does that mean it will sort itself out regarding best release points etc?

mine cost me like 50bucks for a HKS one back when the dollar was terrible, but there about 25bucks now

consistering the tolerences and the quality, i reckon just buy one. i posted a link at the top of this page


with my current VTA steup of my ssq, it wants to stall a bit if u 'clutch in' at high revs cause itll drop and drop and drop till it stalls , but its easy to catch the revs by shifting or clutch out. ive only had mine stall twice, both while stepping heavy on the anchors in carparks

And what exactly is the main advantage? If there is no particular difference in fuel consumption and no dramas with stalling/bad idle, what purpose does the recirc serve?

EDIT: Haha now don't I look silly quoting that... The last passage wasn't there when I clicked the quote button

Like Chris said, no tensioner. Mine has never stalled or ran rough either

Is that more of an anomaly though? Or are you running a piggyback ECU or anything?

 

[pu-11-me]

I think you'll find that this is to do with the design of the valve chambers. Have a read on the HKS website about it

Bought this blanking plug http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300260747756&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT#ht_2023wt_1167

no anomalies.. mine and Dawso's cars are special

but seriously.. dunno why its doing it on unclepaulie's car.. could be possible reasons why..

 

[unclepaulie]

mine runs like a dream only sometimes on full boost when it dumps (in neutral or clutch in) it has a tendency to stall. but usually it happens when i shifting gears so i dont notice it.

Saw that and the price for the part is alright, but $50 postage is a bit rich. The part ends up costing $75 for a little piece of piping, Don't suppose you could post up the exact measurements and chamfers etc of your one or PM if you want.

I think ill see how it goes first then change it to recirc if I need it.

 

[unclepaulie]

ill post up the specs next week, gotta buy a micrometer anyway, might as well buy one earlier

 

[Macca]

thanks mate

I know its too late but the SSQ isnt the only "different" sounding BOV. The Greddy Type S is way cooler and less common (every 3rd turbo over here seems to have one).

maybe because they're known for the quality?

 

[djb160]

While that's true(and I believe this is the case) it ruins the effect of having something "different" IMO.

Installed my HKS SSQV today all went fine driving around for an hour then a huge bang and dropped the bov off the flange. So my question is how can i source a new circlip and O ring and where is a place to get a better adaptor than the one i bought off ebay? Any ideas

Thats the guy who i got mine from, haven't had any problems. good quality flanges, just gotta make sure the cir clip is on right, should be able to get a new cir clip and o ring on Ebay or Trade me. Maybe ask the same guy.

Also just an update on my SSQV, Ive had no problems with stalling or anything like that without recirculating it.

 

[qball]

Yeah, i looked on ebay but didn't see any
