Hi guys,

i purchased the new 09 racing hks ssqv bov with the mind set that i would be getting the loud sharp high pitched 'ching' noise ... however this is not so ... all i got was a distinct woschhhh noise ... like a sharp water splash if anything ... not the high pitched 'ching' that the ssqv is known for .. so i purchased the purple fin, put it in ... same noise just a lil louder ... so i purchased the gold fin .. same noise just a lil more sharper ...

At this stage i thought it was the bov itself, so i sold it to a mate and purchased the 08 limited edition black ssqv (same as the silver 08 model just black)

Same story ... its NOT making the sharp high pitched 'ching' ... its making the same sharp water splash

The car is an r34 gtr with an arc twin entry intercooler kit which already eliminates the recirculating pipe on the turbo side. The standard twin bov system has been removed but the standard hard rubber hoses have been retained on the throttle body side of things ... so it goes oem standard big rubber hose from throttle body to oem small hard plastic piping which splits into 2 - one end goes to the hks ssqv and the other end goes to the throttle body side of the intercooler ...

There are no leaks whatsoever, holds 20psi easily no issues ...

Does anyone know why the bov is not making the noise it should be?

Any help is greatly appreciated

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
