Adjusting HKS SSQ BOV

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to adjust the "HKS SSQ BOV" - so that you can change the loudness of the whistle and - Pheet..shhhhh

noise.

 

Mine is abit loud! If anyone has got any info that'd be great!

 

Many thanks,

Christian.

Thanks guys!

 

Final question :) Does anyone know what the screw is for at the back of hks ssq ? It appears to be adjustable. My instructions were in japanese and I've checked out the HKS website - but no mention of it there.

Hi, raising old thread, because got broblems with hks bov.

 

My car was fitted with old hks ssq. In low rpm it wont open right (light turbo stall noise) and had couple of good stalls in higher rpm. Mostly it works fine when rpm ~3000+. Is there a way to refurb bov (/spring), or should i change new(or stock)?

 

There is adjusting nut behind bov but how can i adjust is right, there were warnings on this forum not to adjust it manually...:(:(

Are you sure the noise your getting the turbo stalling or is just the valve opening under light lift off? The SSQV's are pretty fluttery. Is there any way you can record it and post up a clip?

One way to tell would be to strip the fin out of the SSQV and see if the noise changes in any way. If it does then it's just the BOV you can hear.

The SSQV is a pretty good bit of kit, it shouldn't really be giving you any problems.

You can strip them apart by undoing all of the allen bolts that hold the cover.

Not sure, in low rpm + low load it gives low sound like: cha-cha-cha.... But with high load + high rpm it works fine (i think) it dumps all air fine, for example, gear changes.
