ive installed a ssq bov a few weeks back and not sure if i should keep it or not... ive noticed since i have installed it, the car has been getting about 100ks less out of the tank and also its shooting out black smoke when i semi floor it...

but i really like the noise of it..

would it be better to keep it and get the car tuned for it or put the stock one back on?

tighten it up max, it might be opening to much to early.

The jury is 50-50 on fultter/compressor surge turbo damage. Personally i dont think it does much if any damage. Having said that tighten yours max and leave it for a full tank and see how you go. Even if flutter does damage it wont do shit on one tank of fuel.

I hear SSQ leak often so could be faulty bov too

its a copy hks, probaly the reason why..I checked it last time, looked like it was installed properly with the plumb blocked off

a copy hks? well there u go.. you get what u pay for.

Try and get the geniune parts when you can! saves alot of hassles.. as it usually will fit and work the first time!

A bit of black smoke when u floor it is normal for a turbo car tho.

I had to wind my arc bov up real tight to stop it leaking at idle.. as bizarre as it sounds, it was pushing air out! so now I have mad flutters except when I spool it up then lift off hard. This poor little turbo has taken a beating on the RB20 and now for nearly a year on the RB30.. she'll be right :sick:

when i bought it the guy said it had hks written on it so i bought it... arrived 1 week later and the adapter had hks written on it... was really pissed off.. smsed him and he wouldnt reply.. hung up calls aswell

i have an hks ssqv as well installed on my car but my fuel economy didnt change much but it does cause my exhaust back fire which it doesnt with my stock bov sometimes when i change gears

from what i know, a bov might make a car run rich due to the fact that it releases the air that was recorded from the afm so the ecu thinks the the amount of air the afm reads is still goin into the manifold and kept it at that exact amount of fuel required for the amount of air recorded by the afm only to realise that the amount of air recorded from the afm has been released by the bov only happens to bov that vents to the atmosphere

on cars with afm the bov will still cause the same incident but on cars with map sensors, it doesnt affect it because it reads manifold pressure(i think) do you have an aftermarket ecu?

What a d*ck!

sh!t. Even without tune it shouldnt b that bad, tho mike is right, it will run richer... and tend to stall if u drop the revs very quickly. Tho my blitz bov is running and ive yet to install my safc 2. And i still get roughly 450 for tank.

Hrm, maybe count that as sunk cost and go for a real hks ssq? Try and find one that you can look at first (there is alot of them going around 2nd hand).. or get of reputable sellers... i know Kudos (andrew) on here is very trustworthy as ive bought things off him before.. always answers pm fast, though im not sure if he sells bov's..

yes you car is running richer due to you running an atmosphere venting bov. to stop this put stock bov back on or get somesort of ecu(powerfc/safc) and get it tune

As Bubba said, it wont run rich unless the BOV is actuating.

If the BOV is actuating under load. Its not tight enough.

Properly working Atmospheric BOV's will only 'smoke' and run 'rich' when they need to "Blow off" extra air. (And that's to do with changes in Load)

Just tighten it, make it work properly.

That 'Extra' fuel coming through the exhaust would have just gotten burnt by an unloaded engine anyway. Which will not effect your economy. Really, its not extra fuel, because it was going to get injected anyway.

(On a side note, AT A GUESS, because the princeples of induction may counter this - if you plumb back a bov in front of the AFM, you will read that portion of air twice, and then there will be 'extra' fuel injected.)

Your smoke on load is a sign the BOV may not be operating correctly.

I think im just repeating what people have said ?

However there are some myth's being said too.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
