Hks Ssqv

Hi,

I just got my HKS SSQV installed but the noise is not that hard and angry lol.

I don't have exhaust etc all stock, what should i change to increase the noise?

hi erik, heres how to increase the noise

1) air filter and full exhaust- blitz filter is good, any full 3" exhaust is fine

2)front mount intercooler and some boost

youll be suprised how loud the HKS bov can get, the more boost/airflow, the louder and more "sequential" it will get. Mine doesnt really whistle anymore but has a loud sequential sound to it

[3R1K]

Alrite thanx shuto, btw why does yours not whistle anymore?

I got mine 2nd hand, got scratch though, got purple thingy inside is it the same as yours?

[AeroGrace]

the purple thingy is sorta an accessory fin, makes the sound more discreet.....compared with the standard fin anyway...

i can loan you my stock fin if you want....haha...

[3R1K]

lol, Is it better to get the purple, standard (silver) or gold?

Erik

[AeroGrace]

depends on what sound you want...the whistling gets old after awhile....i'm using the purple one cos it's more quiet at lower revs...you can only hear it vent fully at full boost.

[AeroGrace]

i may be wrong but i reckon the gold fins are the same, just colored gold

either that or it emits an even higher pitched whistle if thats even possible??

[3R1K]

Oh really? So is it better to get brand new for the sound?

I like to hear it loud , the purple yeah , it's true that it's quiet in like 1000=2000 rpm

I don't know about SSQV though any experts here? lol

[AeroGrace]

i don't think the fact that whether if it's new or not will affect how loud it is, if it's the exact same model BOV you're comparing....unless your 2nd-hand SSQV is stuffed....faulty spring etc etc....

also depends how much boost you run, and if you have a FMIC(which i have btw)...dunno how much difference will it make in regards to the mounting position though, mine's mounted where the stock one use to be....

if you want just the loudest ones around, get the BLITZ DD...it can get really loud....as well as the higher end GFB ones....

[3R1K]

Lol, how do you know it's faulty and stuffed ? It's making sound loud if I go 5k rpm 3k rpm should be fine.

exhaust will make different though, I have to get one later.

if blitz and gfb are louder why is HKS SSQV more expensive?

[AeroGrace]

dun know why it's so expensive here....i bought it in singapore for $340aud....i can imagine it would be even cheaper in m'sia:D

oh...just a note, the spring in the SSQV,unlike other brand BOVs doesn't alter the pressure of the smaller valve, it only alters the pressure of the bigger valve within.

[3R1K]

Lol, Yeah it's expensive even in my home country (indonesia) lol

Ic ic, I'm impress with HKS SSQV sound, no complain until now

[summoner]

those are teh bovs that just queek right? ergh just whats needed around here.. what ever happened to just a nice psshh

[3R1K]

Yes, summoner, Do you have it as well man?

[summoner]

no I have got a Greddy type-s for the cefiro due to the stock item being dead

[3R1K]

Lol, cefiro got turbo???????? I never know that? or It's an aftermarket turbo or ?

I confuse now
