i just wanna see how they are hooked up in the cars and such

 

 

what sides are those? and is that your car?

 

great... now how about if i were to get that but i dont have a greddy arm.. or any pipeing like that to hook it up... is there still a way to put it on? and if so anyone got pics of that?

 

 

well i have the tial but i have a single turbo so it sounds different then the twins

 

that supra, at the end of each run when they let off the gas, that slightly high pitch rubble is from the external wastegate.

I uploaded a short clip of my HKS SSQV from digicamera. I bought it used and it came with the purple insert. so I never knew how the original silver insert sounds like. its a really dark, u can barely see the bov. but its u can hear it.

Here's a pic of my install w/ the blitz twin sus intake. Its the one for RX-7 that comes w/ a kit fitting for FD. (pics and video are from a few months ago. not the most updated emblem, battery, pulleys, AST)

its exactly the same as this one sellin on ebay but the price and looks like brand new with original inserts:

thanks for that vid... what insert is that because that kinda just sounded like the stock bov but with more pressure...

 

Read it! He said it was the purple insert... That's how it sounds. The other two give the high pitch whistle cuz they are the same 3 fin style just one is gold and one is silver. Here's what my BOV looks like on my car:


I haven't ever seen a picture of the HKS kit but I have seen a GReddy and it is very simple... A couple hoses and a special pipe to mount the BOV to. Replaces the stock BOV and uses it's hoses.

 

Question.. how do you switch inserts?? How do you take off the existing insert that comes with the hks originally?

 

mazdatim what kinda intercooler do you have?

 

hks ss

 

ok, it's not called turbo flutter. it's technical name is compressor surge. it is when the charge is not venting quick enough and it pushed the compresor wheel the opposite way of which it is spinning. i know on the greddy bov, a rule of thumb for adjustment is to tighten the screw until you get surge then back it of about a 1/4 turn. if you are getting surge then you should adjust the bov to prevent unnessasary damage to your turbo.

 

also got anotehr question for you people to anwser for me plz.

would there be a difference in sound if it is welded onto hardpiping compared to it on the stock hose that comes off the Y-pipe? just wanted to ask cause my friend said yes because the velocity is different....i have my greddy TYpe-s on the stock hose and i want it to be much louder. so im going to weld it onto hard pipe kit when it comes in if i get some responses. Thx

 

Hks

 

should be the same...if you want it louder get a vented hood

 

how would a vented hood be louder tho?

this is how mine is right now, W/ greddy Type-S

i swaped back out my greddy cause it was leaking boost, i have my stock one vented now.

 

vented hood woudl make it louder since there will be the openning to make the sound go out

 

lol i knew that

 

good thing i started this thread

 

lol duh jdawg haha.

thoughi think that welding the BOV onto your intercooler hardpiping would make it a little louder though b/c for some reason i just feel the hard metal pipes will echo and project the sound much louder than a dampening soft, undulating rubber piping tube would

 

you remove the small bolts that goes in the circle around the insert if u look from the front view. after those bolts are removed, you can take the bullet-shaped outer shell off. then u can slide the original insert out from the inside. hope that answers your question.

 

Hey, its all in therory and some short term memory LOL

 

ya when i get my vented hood and get my hardpipes i expect to have a louder BOV sound, and getting a naturally loud BOV helps too, the blitz DD is pretty f'in loud too, louder than a greddy for sure. i reccomend that one as well as the HKS

 

hks because you can change the bits to get the sound you want plus it is known for its non leakyness
