sean2kuk Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hello everyone ive recently bought a tt non vvti supra and a have been told that having a ssqv on a tt supra is very bad for the engine.....now im new to this so im still learning and not sure wether he is correct..... From what I recall he said it had something to do with the first turbo spooling up and not having enough boost for the other...??? Like I said im not sure as to what he is saying.... With mine in particular the ssqv was very cramped in the stock position so I ran a piece of pipe just down from where it connects and down the side of the engine....about 5 inch in length I recon......does this extra bit of bov pipework make a difference. .....? Thanks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) In general there are a lot of myths, facts and hear says. It's one of those endless debate on most car forums. I ran a SSQV for about 3 years and had no problem in the stock position, has it mine came with the kit to mount there. I don't know too much about this but maybe depends on peoples preferences. But I read some where about the VVTi Supra's don't like the blow off valves that much. But I am sure someone will came along to correct me if I am wrong or give more helpful advice.

Scott Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Completely disregard everything that comes out of this persons mouth, Supra related (or potentially other), from now on. The ONLY physical issue with a BOV on these cars is when there is a MAF in play (UK spec of VVTi). The air is metered when entering the intake, the BOV vents out some metered air..... so your car runs a little rich when venting. This isn't so much dangerous as it is annoying, in fact the Supra actually has one of the more tolerant MAF engines that I know. My MR2 turbo just said no to idling.

TubbyTwo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 An ssqv also wont (or shouldnt) leak under boost either unlike some other bov's. Due to the piston being designed to be pushed closed when on boost. Who is this person who is saying this stuff???? Get him on here for some re-education. ...

shaz2010 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've been running a hks ssqv in the stock position for about 2 months now and never had any issue so far. I heard it can have problems stalling but all ok, UK auto supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I ran my uk spec (that people say has problems because of the maf) with one for 5 years. I had no problems at all apart from if the battery was removed so the ecu had to relearn. When it would occasionally stall. But after 5 mins it was fine. I don't run a bov on my single at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gpro Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 anyone tried not running a bov on a single turbo auto? It feels like you have 1 gear! its incredible! (You won't feel any of the gear changes its just constant power) I then put a bov on it and the whole car was a lot slower between gear changes to pick up boost again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
