hey guys,

just wondering if anyone has a hks sequential bov?

mine really flutters, alot and i pulled it apart. i think the spring is facing the wrong way. my standard bov pushes open (toward the exit) so the air can escape. the hks' spring pushes away from the exit and i dont see how it works like this.

is this right?

thanks!

Yeh thats how they work the valve goes in and not out.

Tighten it up by un-tightening the black screw head closes to the blow off valve as a lock then using a spanner or socket tighten the one furthest away, make sure it goes in and not out. the re tighten the other one back up to lock it.

This will make it hard to open the valve under boost pressure and it will make a psshhtt in stead of flutter.

i believe this topic has been covered before so feel free to search...

besides from memory doesnt the hks valve you are referring to have two valve thingis (a smaller one and a larger one that only opens under heavy boost). I also read somwhere that these do flutter under light load so it is normal.

sorry sky, i took a damn good look but mainly found people trying to sell them.

as far as i can tell there is only 1 outlet.

a spring up the top covered by a rubber seal, then at the side the inlet for the gas from the piping, then down below 1 piston covering the outlet (spring moves inwards)

ok i just tightened the top screw as much as possible and took it for a drive, the bov seems to be working much better than before (more of a refined flutter). even at high rpm it still flutters. sounds great but is this bad for the turbo? is a fluttering turbo bad like the flutter from the air hitting the turbo and comming out of the pod?

The air shouldnt be going back through the turbo if you have a bov, Inless you have the bov too tight or its blocked some how ? the the hole purpose of a bov is to stop the air going back through the turbo, which can cause lag between gear shifts.

So i'm not to sure whats happening here. Is the BOV making a high pitch noise after letting the throttle off at high rpm ?

HKS bov is a pull type not a push type. This way it can handle more boost and doesnt leek under highpressure vacumm like other BOV's

think i got that the right way around but ya know what i mean :cheers:

I have a Monza SSQ, (i know its cheap, but dont laugh, it came with my car :rant: ) anyhow... it has a very similar design... and i was having a look at it last night...

and when i cover the outlet of the bov with the palm of my hand it tries to suck my hand in, like i can feel it suck my hand...

Is this bad. is my bov leaking? i dont really see how it can affect much as i guess it would be different if it were to be blowing while i rev it... as then it would be leaking boost. but if its sucking. is that bad?

i have nfi :)

Cheers guys.

All this talk of sucking and blowing!

Gotta Go!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
