I just put an hks ssqv on my car today and noticed that it will not blow off.. anyone had this problem?? anyone know how to fix it?? I did a search but it turned up nothing. Thanks!

 

you did not install it correctly. Or it is broken. Or your spring rate is set way to high for your boost leval

 

How can you not install it correctly?? I put the gasket in, put the bov on the flange, and locked it into place with the lock thingy.. then hooked up a vac line to it. This one doesnt have an adjuster either..

 

Obveusly you did something wrong or its bad. VAC line should T into the PS.

 

I have it hooked up exactly like my other one.. Ive heard that the ssqv's like to stick when you first use them.

 

Take it off push on the spring spray it with some wd40 move it around some more make sure its good.

Why would anyone buy a BOV without a adjustable spring rate?

 

they used to have adjusters.. but I guess they dont anymore.

 

no no, the HKS SSQV don't have adjusters.... its a pull type BOV which the boost pressure keeps the valve shut... when a vac is present, it will pull the BOV making it vent... since the boost pressure keeps it shut it won't leak and u do not have to worry about leakage...

the screw on the back turns it ONLY for the sound of the outside black valve... turning it tightly will make a screech when higher boost is present, turning the screw looser will make it have a lower pitched sound


look at the details here

if it worked before... and not now (like mine) i heard people take it apart and clean it with WD40 but i have yet to try it...

also, as RETed would tell u, use a dedicated vac source to the BOV, try not to tee it off...if u do, use Ts and not Y spliters and also make the connection on the top of the T and not at the split, put the PS on the tail of the T. see if that works too...

 

Dont use wd40. Try spraying some carb cleaner and then rinse. Make sure you have a good vac source.
