so is this like a new or older version or something?

o n he just showed me on the sight that there is 3 diff versions i guess HKS BOV Kit 89-91 RX-7 HKS BOV Kit 93-95 RX-7 and then one that says
HKS Super Sequential BOV n thats the one he got me is there a diff?

 

in english please?

I have an SSQV and it is not adjustable if that is what your asking, they have inserts (purple, gold, etc) that change how it sounds.

 

i think that the ones with adjustable screws are the fake ones off of ebay, or atleast that is what i read in modified mag.

 

yea thanks i just found out that the ones that are ajustable are like knock off on ebay

 

sorry to bring this back. but i just bought a black ssqv black bov off of ebay. is there a for sure way to tell if its real or not? mine looks just like the one from the shop that is working on my car right now. but my friend keeps telling me its fake just because i got it for cheap. does anyone know of a for sure way to know if its fake? it has the hks logo and the back and top, purple on the inside and it doesnt have a plastic outside. could someone pm me asap? im putting it on next week so please let me know thanks guys.

 

Weren't there a couple production runs of the SSQV? The ones I have seen don't have adjustment, but maybe the earlier ones did.

 

mine is the newer black limited edition that doesnt adjust.

 

The limited edition seems to be just a ssqv2 but in black. Hks did come out with a 3rd gen ssqv but I doubt its any different than the previous.

You should have gone tial or the synchronic bov from synapse.

 

I had no idea those inserts change the sound. I have mine recirculated so it wouldn't matter anyway

 

Its barely noticeable, or at least if you're not running "high" psi.

 

So how does it sound without the inserts? I hate my SSQV, not a fan of the sound at all...

 

Without any insert?

It sounds like the stock bov lol

I went back to the stock bov because i saw no benefit of having the ssqv, thats why im selling it lol

Unless you have the ssqv exposed for show, i dont see why anyone would wanna have one. The stock bov is just fine or if you want aftermarket, tial is a good one or the synapse synchronic bov.

 

Well I'm single turbo so a stocker is not really an option. But I have always hated the sound of this BOV... So if it sounds like a stock BOV when no insert is in place, then I welcome it.

 

why is the stock bov not suitable for a single turbo car? too small? leaks?

 

Though I suppose the stocker could leak under higher boost applications, it is really the mounting of it that is undesireable.

 

I took my insert out after about 30min.

Sounds like the old old HKS BOV (one that looks like a horn).

It's louder than the stock BOV but same type of noise.

I like it much better without insert
