HKS Blow Off Valve Tuning
I just installed a HKS SSQV in my FD. My car is an auto and everything is installed correctly. This is the bov with the tunable spring. I had an HKS bov on my previous 3000gt vr4 and this one sounds nothing like it, I can bearly hear it. My question is how do I properly adjust this. Im running stock turbos and stock boost.
Thanks Kevin

barely hear it....hmmm i have a HKS SSBOV. did you plug it into the charge relief valve or air bypass valve port? the front one is the BOV spot, the rear one does something different for spooling up the second turbo.
its pretty loud on stock levels. there is a rear screw on it, but out of the box, it works well.
especially loud if it has the whistle front end on it. its that plastic 3 spoke piece.

mine was/is loud! if you take the front whistle off, not so much. But stock boost etc, it was sexy. if you look at my engine bay, it was the first thing done to my car. lol
I hate posting this pic, but the past is past
you can barely see it, but shes there.
kev, do you have the plastic whistle on the front? that three pronged thing? i know this isnt exactly your model, but close enough.

as for that flutter that is bad, thats the extra pressure not being released and is not good for the car.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but regarding flutter, get as much air out asap. That said, look up arghx thread on "8 months blah blahblah no blow off valve something something" i don't remember the exact title but fascinating discussion on compressor surge. Both figurative and practical.
Off tangent. Sorry kev. :-)
