Homer Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I'm fitting an FMIC in a few weeks which means I have to lose my Blitz BOV and hard pipe. Some peeps hate the BOV noise but I love scaring pedestrians on narrow high streets Can anyone recommend a good quality unit which can be fitted in place of the stock one? HKS? Sard R2D2? ...? The louder the better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I have the HKS SSQV - Does the job, no stalling troubles etc etc (you probably heard it at the RR day ) I know the Japanese guys love their 'Sheepdog' BOV's. And most people I know say that they are best sounding ones they've heard too? I'm not sure if there is a 'Sheepdog' BOV available for the Supra though .. I'm sure someone will know?

Homer Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 haha, yup, yours sounded very nice on the RR day I'm not sure what a 'sheepdog' BOV would sound like though mate, but if anyone can find any info please post it up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Nish Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I need a BOV as well, like you the louder the better in my opinion! Can anyone tell me which need to be welded etc to a hardpipe and which can go in the stock location? Ideally looking for one thats loud, goes in stock position and i can fit myself.

Nic Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 HKS SSQV can be fitted in the stock location and would be my recomendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 HKS SSQV can be fitted in the stock location and would be my recomendation. Im on the verge of getting one of these too, but would it be wiser to go for the HKS Racing SSQV?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Nish Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Thanks Nic, Why are some welded to the hard pipe and some in the stock location? Different sounds? And by stock location, does that mean simply getting rid off the old one and rewiring some pipes? Sorry for the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 If it helps: HERE is a sound clip of the HKS SSQV on my old car (Nissan Pulsar GTI-R). It's a bit quieter than this on the Supra. And HERE is a little movie (Windows Media Player - WMV format) of the HKS SSQV in the Supra. As you can see - my I/C piping has a flange for mounting the BOV on it ... my stock BOV has been removed, and blocked off (this was done by the owner in Japan). HTH Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 Cheers James, that helps mate I don't really want to cut up (or weld onto) the lovely polished Greddy pipework so am looking for a BOV that'll go in the same position as the stock one. HKS is looking like the best bet at the moment, though they are bloody expensive (220 odd quid!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 though they are bloody expensive (220 odd quid!) That's what Ebay is for I get most of my 'gizmo's' (turbo timers, fuel controllers etc) from some dude in Malaysia on Ebay!! Loads cheaper, and he gets it here in about 4 days!! I'm sure there will be an SQV kicking about on there somewhere (new)? Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Im on the verge of getting one of these too, but would it be wiser to go for the HKS Racing SSQV?? YES !!!! Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 The HKS "Racing" version is almost twice the price of the standard one - After looking at the sales info it seems only worth going for if you are pushing massive HP... Opinions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Performa Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 i dont think sheepdog does BOV anymore. now aday they only made exhaust system and lower spring as far as i know. they exhaust is really popular in Japan. http://www3.ocn.ne.jp/~sheepdog/vrsmuffler.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 The HKS "Racing" version is almost twice the price of the standard one - After looking at the sales info it seems only worth going for if you are pushing massive HP...
