hello all, now i admit i am new to cars and turbos and stuff and probably dont know wat im on about, but i havea hks ssbov and everywhere i go people seem to be bad mouthing it becuase it apparently makes ur car stall and shit like that.

now i went through those problems as well, but i later found that wen having a hks ssbov u are also required to have a hks idle stabaliser, and wen i got that in, everything worked like a charm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flutter is not from the BOV it is from the air flowing back through the turbo. It's not good for the turbo at all. Obviously by over-tightening the BOV you're gonna end up with the air going thru the turbo as it can't vent, hence the flutter.

One of the things about Jap BOV's is that unlike ones from Oz they aren't all simply products of the metal laythe....A lot of Jap ones are actually cast items, this is why they are far more expensive. From memory the HKS Sequencial BOV is not adjustable, I had one a long time ago on my starlet. The Super Sequencial is though.....then of course there is the Super Racing BOV from HKS, now that's expensive :)

As I said I don't think you can adjust the older one. If yours has adjustment then what it does is put more pre-load on the actualto spring insied the bov and makes it hard to force open, you do this if you run higher boost (set it soft for low boost cars and hard for cars with much higher boost) The basic rule of thumb is set it hard so you hear the flutter then back it off till you can't here it any more ..... that should be the right setting.

because the SSQV as 2 valves, the smaller purple pointy thingy and the bigger valve with the HKS wordings...the screw only adjusts the tightness of the big valve.

i've yet to solve the damn fluttering problem because of this...no matter how loose i turn it.....it only affects the bigger valve...

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
