Disregard above post.

I have never seen a HKS one like that and also cant find anything on the internet.

Weird!

Could be Old Skool HKS.

I have a pair of HKS Bov's that are old skool and chromed up which are different again to the one in your Pic.

It is fitted to a 1997 model honda, but problem is the SSQV where out then so these might even pre-date 1995...possible that someone put a HKS end mouth onto a different kind of BOV. It might have also been a recirculation valve preveously which maybe why this person put a different end onto it.

thanks guys..

'Viper_r32' - i was just wondering on what sound is it actually suppose to make? because at the moment, i dont really notice any difference in the sound when you turn the screw on the top to either A or B? When i don't rev it flutters with a low whistle (you can barely hear) but when i kick it it just gives of a deep whoooosh sound??? (forgive me for my terminology and description)

I was also wondering on whether the amount of boost you run makes a difference? I heard that it does with SSQV? just want to verify it thats all.

cheers

revving at low rpm, the blow off valve should be quiet, but it gets louder when it releases at higher revs because its pushing through a larger volume of air and you get the whoosh sound. the flutter sound is herd when the blow off valve is trying to release the air slowly in sections, that's why its called sequential. it dose this so that the pressure of boost to the turbo dos not drop down to rapidly encase you what to put the boot straight down again. the screw just adjusts the tension of the spring, and it makes little difference on how much its turned, the further out the spring is, the less tension it has and the further the screw is in the more tension. you want it to be in enough that spring has some tension to hold the valve, but not to much that it keeps the valve shut. this verys depending on how much boost you run. but generally having it set a little looser than half way will be fine.

Yeah I agree Kat, mine currently has a rather loud BoV (at least as far as I'm concerned) and It does get a little annoying.

I'd prefer a sharp "PST" sound as opposed to the typical (and my current) "WHHHHOOOOOOSSSSHHHH MA'F*KA"

That being said, I do like the funny sound you can create when just touching the throttle then letting off enough to open the valve...kinda sounds like my car is snoring...like a dragon before you wake it...yes I'm not a wanker :D

lol 'HEKTIK BOV NOISES'... Yeah man, im not really a fan of it being loud too, but i do like the whistling sound, makes me feel like im playing need for speed while i'm driving... lol

srbskyline - thanks mate. did u have the trumpet yourself?

yea man, although its somewhat a collectors item now, much like a 32 vspec.. i still have the trumpet in original condition, only thing ive added to it is a strut brace :D

i can sell it to you for $200000, and then you can make noise like your car was intended to

srbskyline - SOLD!!!!!! lol

NZM.031 - yeah man that is weird, but mine flutters, lol.

Anyways, I have returned my BOV to stock as i found the BOV to be doing nothing special for me (apart from the loud back fire sound), lol. so GTRKat, lol I have a BOV for sale if you want it, lol.

yeah, definitely prefer the stock BOV atm.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
