HAS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH A R34 GTT HAD ANY ISSUES FITTING THE HKS SSQ IN THE SAME SPOT THE FACTORY BOV IS?

MY TUNER MENTIONED ITS NOT A SIMPLE BOLT ON, EVEN WITH THE ADAPTER FLANGE. APPARENTLY HE NEEDS TO CUT HERE AND WELD THERE, HE IS STRONLGY RECOMENDING AGAINST PUTTING IT IN.

HAS ANYONE HAD PROBS FITTING?

CHEERS

CHEERS

Ive got one fitted in my car, there's NO welding required, as it is a simply bolt on the factory pipe along with

the correct adapter plate attached.

MY TUNER MENTIONED HE WOULD PUT MY BOV ON FREE OF CHARGE AS LONG AS IT WAS SIMPLY A BOLT ON JOB AS I AM ALREADY PAYING 2,500.00 FOR A POWER FC, WALBRO PUMP + LABOUR.

HE RANG ME LAST NIGHT AND MENTIONED THAT IT WASNT GONNA BE AS SIMPLE AS BOLTING ON SINCE HE INSISTED WE PLUMB IT BACK. HE SAID THE BOV ITSELF HAD NO ROOM TO FIT AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR MY FACTORY BOV AND THE HKS PLUMB BACK EXTENSION WASNT LONG ENOUGH TO CONNECT WITH MY PIPE LEADING BACK TO THE ENGINE.

HE WAS PRETTY MUCH TELLING ME ITS WAS GOING TO NEED WELDING, FABRICATION, CUTTING, ETC. HE PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME TO FORGET ABOUT IT. I CANT FORGET ABOUT IT AS I HAVE JUST FORKED OUT ALMOST 400 BUCKS ON THIS BLOODY BOV AND I WANT IT ON MY FRIGGIN CAR.

IM NO MECHANIC BUT IS FITTING THE HKS BOV ON MY GTT SOMETHING I COULD DO MYSELF? I DID REPLACE MY FACTORY AIR FILTER WITH A POD FILTER MYSELF SO IF I WAS CAPABLE OF THAT SHOULD THE BOV BE SIMILAR IN FITTING?

THANKS BOYS.

as long as your engine bay is stockish then there should be no problem what so ever. There's the adaptor plate, the rubber o ring to go on the BOV and the little circlip that holds everything in place. 2 minute job putting it on. Pic of engine bay would help/.

ahh i think i see wat your trying to do mate. u want to plumb it back. DONT BOTHER. that is a bitch, and at the most all it would take is the plumb back adapter and maybe half a foot of 1'' rubber hose.

anyway. if u just block off the stock return pipe, and bolt on the ssq with the adapter. it will take about 15min. take out 2 bolts, take off stock bov. block return pipe. stick on bov with adapter and stick in the 2 bolts. thats it. i really dont see how its that difficult. i might suggest that your so called 'tuner' either doesnt know shit all. OR he has seen u coming a mile away. and would like to make a quick buck.

adapter shud look like this

hey thanks for the info guys. I think R33Cruiser is on the same page as my "tuner", the plumbing back side is whats causing the apparent massive headache.

Either way we've given the BOV install a miss this time round, but when i get the car back tonight, i will have a look and try and swap my stock BOV with the HKS BOV. I do have the adapter you are referring to with the BOV.

but with blocking the return pipe, whats a good way to do this? as I will attempt to swap BOV's myself tonight.

Hey how r ya, Its really eas to install, no cutting or welding is needed, ur tuner probably thought it was the universial one, wot u need is an adapter! its just a simple bolt on, And you also have to block your plumback with a metal thingy.. mine came with it.. Tough sound but car doesnt run right unless u tune it, ur car will run rich and will stall sometimes.. that is just my 2cents from wot ive learnt.

Geraus.

CK34GT get a pic of your engine bay near your throttle body, its a freakn 10min job and shouldnt hard at all.

even if u wanna plumb it back it is easy as piss, as long as you have the plumb back adapter.

if you dont have anything and jsut the BOV, then yes its gonna be a pain.

if ur unsure like i said post a pic ive done it before

SIF 10 min job.... dont tell him its 10 minutes, he starts to panic after 10 minutes....

i just install it yesterday.

YES i agree with you, theres a hose which is connected to your boost reading for the stock boost gauge in the car, u can just fit the ssqv in an angle around 30 degrees.

you do not need to fit it in horizontally, just give it a twist b4 installing it into the current position.

all you need is an adapter from ebay. works fine n quality is not bad.

Hi All,

Ok I got the car back last night. By the way the Power FC makes such a massive difference.

Anyways back on topic. I have taken a few snap shots of my engine bay as is and my new BOV accessories.

I have a pretty good idea what to do.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
