[shmiddy]

hey guys, i got the purple insert in my hks ssq, and im after a gold one for it, anyone know were i can buy one locally or a website that sells them, or even if ya have one lying around i can buy, cheers guys

[nelleh]

Do they come in gold? I could airbrush it gold for you if you cant find anyone with one

[shmiddy]

hahahaha might have to... apparently the gold one makes a bbit of a whistle, bought a cheap trust type s copy today

put it on and sounds like my ssq nothing like the type s. maybe the spring it to tight or not tight enough, its not one solid woshhhhhhh, i dono will play around tomoro, or maybe its cos its a cheapy and its just crap hahhaha

Generally all sqv's are high pitched. So if u want a solid wooosh, sqv is not the way to go.

[shmiddy]

yeah i want the high pitched note, i just thought this other bov would of sounded different

Hi, I had the standard silver insert and bought a purple one from Xspeed. They used to have all of the SSQV accessories, so check out their website. My understanding was that the gold insert made no difference in sound, it was just a different colour. The purple insert is a lower pitch sound, which is less penetrating (i.e. carries less).

I recently bought a plumb back connection for the SSQV from bd4s.com.au. So now I don't go "PHUTOOOO", I go more like "phoooo".

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

P.S. Aren't phonic representations of BOV sounds crazy! If you had a conversation about it in public, you would be locked up!

hey guys i'm planning to get a HKS SSQV BOV and everything on my car is stock just changed the airfliter only, my friends told me the car will stall alot is it true?? do i really need to get a better ECU for it to work??

ps. its a R33 Serious II

a atmo. bov on a stock car can cause it to stall a bit, as the ecu thinks the air is going back into the intake, and sends in enough fuel to compensate for it, except the air isnt going into the intake, but rather out into the atmosphere. so it has less air, and over fueledl, and can stall.

R33 Serious II eh? ive got a R33 Series I

[KeeFy]

I've got a serious 1.

Apparently the stall issue is also how u tune the blow off (from what i heard, how true it is, i don't know), the pressure spring tightness. But by right, it shouldn't. Most.. or almost all cars after installing it dosn't have any probs. But of course, murphy's theory stands.

Hi again. An atmo BOV should not make any significant difference to the likelihood of your car to stall. Mitchy's comment is true to a point, the engine will run momentarily rich for a second or so when the BOV has acted. But this won't cause it to stall - 'coz your BOV is only acting at 1800-ish revs and above.

There is a looong thread on low revs stalling, in the Forced Induction forum, which concluded that repeated stalling at low revs comes from the Oxygen sensor being stuffed. There is loads of info on replacing it, including getting the same part from a Ford dealer, but loads cheaper.

So you can just stick your BOV on the car and it should work fine.

Cheers.
