hey i just got me a bov and was wondering what to adjust it to. it has a screw on it but im not sure what the difference between adjusting it to, to me loosening it make a hissing noise.

also when installed i rev it and hear 1 or 2 flutters from my pod but the bov opens at the same time. i know it opens coz i can feel the air on my hand [self reved from the engine bay]

thanks

also i have searched and after a reading "bovs are gay and blah blah blah" cant really find this info.

If it's a genuine HKS SSQV it doesn't have an adjusting screw in it as it's not required.

only the new ones have no screw..the older ones do have a screw

turning it clockwise will set it harder and anti clockwise will set it softer...the more boost your running the harder you set it

i installed a new one and it would stay open for too long and lag my turbo heaps... the older ones must have been heaps better with the adjusting screws..

Care to explain this as by design it can't happen.

It has a spring to hold it closed under light vacuum and only opens under high vacuum from the manifold. So as soon as you start opening the throttle again it is closed. It shouldn't have anything to do with making the turbo's laggy. If the BOV vents while boosting there is deffinately something wrong.

I bet you he will tell you its between gears lag,

I fitted a new HKS to a customers S14 SR20DET / T04z, from working perfectly with his old $20 knock off it started to fall right out of boost between gears unless I flat shifted with the HKS, it was replaced with a another unit, same problem....ripped the HKS out and fitted a Greddy RS and presto, no more problems.

so your saying that a BOV that releases the pressure inside the the inlet piping on gear change isnt working correctly?

since thats exactly what they are designed to do im not sure where the issue is, there should be lag from a system running a BOV as the turbo re-pressurises the piping.

Well personally I don't think the new SSQs work well under high boost pressure.

With my current setup i have a HKS 2530kai and im running over 20psi with supporting mods. When i run that much boost with the SSQ it would stay open for a second or two after gear change, and the air would go into atmo instead of back into the plenum..

I'm not sure as to why this happened (too much vaccum under high boost pressure for the SSQ to handle?), but it only happened with the SSQ and not with any other atmo bov that I owned.

I've installed many atmo bovs and they all lagged my turbo in between gear changes (this is normal with atmo bovs).

Oh and I wouldn't have bought a bov if I intended on flat shifting 24/7.

Craved, I am quite aware of how a bov works, as I said, lag between gears on the new SSQV was terrible compared to the RS, obviously the SSQV is prone to staying open longer or has slower/buffered piston movement than other name brand bov's.

This is exactly what I am talking about, the SR20 in question was running close to 28psi and had an actual delay when shifting, knocks all the power out for a second or two like the bov doesnt close properly of fast enough,,, rip SSQV out and put in Greddy RS and presto no more problem... just regular minimal lag one expects from an abov...

has nothing to do with MAF either, all the cars I do now run VEMS or D-jetro.

In my opinion besides sounding retarded and looking gimiky the SSQV is just an expencive POS. Greddy, Tial or Synapse any day of the week for actual function which is what its there for.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
