Opinion on HKS SSQV BOV
 

Who has this bov and how do you like it? How's it doing with the stock application as well as FMIC? Sound clips?

I dont have a sound clip but it sounded nice on my previous car (a GSX.) When I finish my swap I am going to put it on my rex. If you search HKS SSQV you will get a sound clip from different cars. Its only a blowoff valve so it will(should) sound the same on every car b/c its just escaping air making the sound.

I have it, it's really annoying, but it moves lots of air in a hurry, which is good for the turbo, so I live with it.

its a bit shril depending on how much boost but its grown on me.

No shrill, just whistle. That's GReddy. Personally I love teh sneeze, so I'll have to go with the Type RS. Even though the Type S sounds kinda slow.

To some, anytype blow off valve is annoying to hear. But me, I just love the sound. I dont have a sound system in my rex, so I just listen to the engine rev, the turbo spool, and the blowoff valve between shifts. Thats just me. I love the way my car sounds overall (3" exhaust w/ a HKS Hipower muffler and 1 really long resonator off a dodge truck.) Nice and deep tone exhuast w/ a nice high pitch sound from the turbo. I can make love to my girl from the sounds of my car. lol, j/k...

Whatever you do do not have your ear directly in front of the bov when it lets loose at a high psi.

My car was on a dyno and we were doing a pull. I wasn't paying attention, I was about 30 feet in front of the car and facing away from the car and the bov in the stock location was basically pointing right at my ear from 30 feet away. 16 psi blew out and it scared me so bad I jumped, it was really fucking loud.

On the road though its nowhere near as loud with the hood closed and pointed away.

im not exactly sure on the technical stats and what numbers are better for a BOV but i had a turbo supra with a hks ssq and apexi gt exhaust, it sounded nice! you definatelty wont be disappointed.

It sounds very obnoxious, in my opinion. Too high pitch.

Every SR20 swapped 240SX in Richmond runs one. It got really old, fast.

I have an old style Blitz waiting to go on my car.

Anyone seen on the hksusa.com site about the inserts for the SSQV bov? You can put an insert in it that lowers the noise of the blow off so it's not so quite a whistle. http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=796

too chirpy for me
my bro has it on his sr20
I got bored of it after like 5 chirps

i have one and liek it, it scares my girl friend when i floor it and shift, she doesn't believe thats what it's made to do. and it sound really cool at low boost it's just a little psss psss

Anyone have the inserts?

i dont know maybe i had them cause mine wasnt high pitch or annoying. it was loud but not as loud as some, and the sound was very clean, maybe upgrade recirculatino kit/? also i took the purple nossle off i think thats what made it less high pitch

i got the purple one and if it's the quite one then DAMN the other must be loud

Never tried the inserts. I like it b/c inside the car its not too loud (compared to the exhaust at least.) The only problem is that it is an attention grabber (like any other blow off valve isnt though? They are all loud to me.) For instance. When I drive to work (I work for a huge computer company) I always like to try and hit boost while I'm in the parking lot just so it can blow-off. Its funny b/c the security guard comes out and yells at me everyday telling me that my car is too loud and everyone is mystified that my "old skewl" rx7 is so quick. Its funny. I cant wait till I finish my swap... then they will really see fast. AJ (a dude w/ a "highly" modded 5.0 that works with me) man, I'm comin for you.

Nice, I think I'm going to get the HKS SSQV. Maybe check out that purple insert.

yeah check out that purple insert that it comes with

actually, i was wrong and it doesnt come with the purple insert it. i thought you were talking about the vent inside. it does come with the silver insert.

is this how the purple insert sounds? you can't see the insert from the video...

I love my HKS BOV. I like the sound and when I scare a pedestrian when changing gears;)

Now in days everybody does have the hks, but in my opinion it's probably the best one out. All the other types of blowoff valves sound the same, like a simple release of air. I use my SSQ without an insert, it sound pretty cool. It doesnt only sound like a release of air, but more of a high pitch. Especially at higher boost.

I have one in my FD but I don't hear any sound at all.

blitz or turbo xs are my favorite
sssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooossssssssss ssshhhhhhhhhh
