I just received and installed a HKS SSQV Bov into my RB25DET the simple way, but after the installation I noticed on the instructions which came with it says to disconnect the battery (-) cable.. I didnt do this, does anyone know why it needs to be done prior to installation? or is it OK to leave it connected whilst installing?

Also, im getting a real bad boost drop when changing gears, almost as if its leaking.. Has anyone else got this problem with the new SSQV?

Cheers.

the reason they say 2 disconnect the battery is so that incase you touch sumthing u shouldnt and cause damage to the ecu or anything else

ah ok.. thanks 4 the quick reply raps86 :cheers:

does anyone know why im getting a bad boost drop when changing gears? almost as if the car is gonna stall..

Atmo valves can do this...

As the stock ecu is realying/expecting on return air post AFM...

By putting in a atmo valve your not returning the charged air back to the intake, hence the ecu is missing a huge chunck of "counted" air... So lack of air causes the engine to stall/labour for a second while the intake catchs back up to real time data being feed from the afm... Does this make sence?

The way to get round this is get a PFC or similar after market ecu which can be tuned with atmo valves and not have stalling issues...

hey evl. i have had my hks ssq on my line for about 1yr. many people claim stalling issues. but it has NEVER happened to me. i think it is an urban myth that affects 10% of the population.

perhaps, the spring is too loose. i suggest tightening the screw on top of the bov. also from my experience, make sure the vacuum hose is on properly, same goes for the plumb back hose. ive forgotten this once and stalled 100m from my driveway :cheers:

Makes sence what your saying, but I have a PFC installed with a Z32 AFM and its been tuned on an atmo GFB BOV previously.. I had no problems with the GFB, but I thought id give the SSQV a go..

I have the newest SSQV so there is NO pressure regulator on it and I cant tighten the valve spring..

When the valve opens to release the air into the atmo, it takes longer to close than the GFB i previously had, so when I accelarate again after changing gears the valve is still open for a second and the air doesnt get into the plenum causing a stall/labour..

On a positive note, the SSQV holds boost much better than the GFB i previously had..

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
