Hey guys,

Tried searching the DIY/FAQ forums but couldnt return any results.

So, once again im drawing on the wealth of knowledge that is SAU, and wanting to know how to install a BOV.

I have the HKS ssq bov with piping and flange....can anyone point me in the right direction step by step...or is there a thread one of u can find that i havent?

Thanks alot fellas :mad:

The pipe with flange replaces the stock one that goes to the inlet (see pic, I have a temp sensor in there now) you will have to disconnect the standard one by removing the vacuum hose and routing it to the new location and blanking the standard one off, I did that by cutting an ali can to shape and inserting in between the flange and standard BOV so the old BOV stays there.

Do you realise that an atmo BOV will effect your idle when you back off causing it to stall (sometimes) tis the reason I dont run mine anymore?

the 'sometimes' is what you have to take notice of. i know about 6 guys with atmo bovs on 33's, none of which have stalling issues. i had stalling issues with the stock bov. a new set of plugs fixed it. you just have to tighten up the spring tension so they don't leak.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
