Bah... Finally got around to fitting the HKS BOV plus fitting kit to my bug WRX wagon... Theres no way its gonna fit... The unit its self won't fit because it either hits the manifold or the pipework around the IC... even if it did, the larger rubber hose wouldn't go in it because everything is in the way... Stupid thing

I want a chirp when I change gear, not the existing Pssch... Might have to fit a PA system and chirp myself


lol

 

would be about as useful as the BOV. complete tat and a waste of money. sell it and buy a decent mod for your car

 

Shut your face.

This piece of HKS would make my flying wardrobe sound EXACTLY the same as a WRC car!

 

Hi mate I have one fitted to my 2001 bug, it was a bit fiddly but got there in the end had to track down the correct adaptor plate which was a mission on it's own then purchase a pair of circlip pliers , it took two of us to do. I nearly threw in the towel but we did it.

Don't give up mate

 

seriously?? fit the bov to your wardrobe. it may take you to narnia then about as useful as a chocolate fireguard and only impresses wee lads in red top novas

 

i thought you could make the hks into a recirc with an adapter?

 

Hi Fingers,
I have an adaptor plate that bolts onto the IC perfectly, but maybe its not the correct one then... and I know what you mean about the giant circlip... I broke my favorite circlip pliers getting it off the old front mount pipework!

I don't suppose you have a picture of yours fitted do ya?

 

It's the dump valve delete mod that gives you a real chirp. Some turbos can take it while others are to fragile. It does shorten the life span of your turbo, but if you want the chirping then it is an option.

 

I dunno where it vents or circs to... I was just gonna connect it the same as the OEM item thats on there:

Bolts (via adaptor plate) onto the IC housing - large rubber hose to large stub - tiny rubber hose to tiny stub.

But I can't do any of it because the manifold / IC housing / throttle body are all in the way

 

I don't know...

 

what turbo's on your car?

 

I have a big and ended up grinding the adapter to make it fit. It has to sit at a direct right angle facing horizontally to the engine if not it will always foul on the manifold

 

With the correct adapter it does fit. I think i got mine from demon motorsport.
See:

 

Hrm, I think I can see the problem...

Unlike Don's SSQV above, mine has the turbo hose stub in a different place:



It looks like Don's SSQV has the stub in a similar position to the OEM valve that's on my car:







Because the chrome hose stub sticks out of mine where it does - I can't even mount it - because the chrome stub hits the throttle body pipework.

I guess there are different SSQVs, and mines the wrong flipping one

A big thanks for your help though chaps

 

do these ssqv dump valves give you the chirping sound do they

 

Yair...

 

tidy i take it yours is a recirc one is it

 

Sell the BOV get a stronger turbo+Map and then blank the DV... you'll then get real chirps and flutters..... BOV is an expensive waste of time and clearly effort

 

The metal tube coming out the front can be removed by unscrewing the cap and then it just pulls out. You can then buy one of the different inserts for the sound

 

Sorry mine doesnt recirc. what u can see in the picture under the dump valve is the turbo hose blanked off.

 

Ahh, thanks guys
With your help and a look on the net, I think I get it!
So I need to blank the recirc hose.
Remove the recirc stub from the SSQV.
And it should fit!

Martin - Do I need to buy an insert, or will it still do it's stuff without one?

 

You dont need to get an insert as it will work without it but to get the noise you want you may need to get one. They are available from sumo power for around £15.

 

I'm having the same problem with the one I bought, as already said the problem is the plate needs to tilt the bov rather than sitting flat. Been searching for ages for plate that will work

 

mine chirps and flutter's like mad but hate cos the huge fmic and the hks fitler

 

Just to let you know you can't get the hks ssqv to recirc on a new age unless you relocate it or get some custom hose made for the return to the turbo inlet, tried that a few years ago with no luck, ended up going back to standard

 

You do realise someone has vandelised your car by bolting pink gay hoses to it?

 

pink is cool

 

You won't like my wheels much either then:

 

mrs wants me to do that where was they done ?

 

If you lot wanna come out then that fine with me! Haha.

Proud to be pink!
