HKS BOV works well!

[Freak]

Dallas the forum is great because we can all gain from each others experience without ponying'up ourselves. Post a pic of yours installed, Id like to see how it looks.

This is really useful info. I have not much insight on this subject, never owned a turbo car either. The RX-1 is my first turboed vehicle.

I know its cheap and an off brand but I like the look and the size of this one. Im told its good quality and lw and good for 30psi so Im gonna try it.

this thing is junk so I am sending it back. fyi.



Dallas did you know the BOV you bought is not an HKS? Sounds like it works though. Just thought I would mention it.

Here is an authentic HKS for reference. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BRAND-NE ... 0929QQrdZ1

yes i talked with the guys at street imports where i bought mine 7 they could have sold me the cheaper or the expensive one & the told me to go with the cheaper one they said its made in the same factory by the same peaple. same parts they have taken them apart & have never had any probs with the cheaper one in testing.just one has the hks name on it & one dosnt.the one i bought---http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Monza-SSQV-Blow-Off-Valve-BOV-HKS-Turbo-300ZX-Supra-EVO_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQitemZ8031017448QQrdZ1

heres a bunch of info on how it works does not have a boost limit.should work goSSQV Blowoff Valve (Super Sequential Blowoff Valve) (more)





The HKS Super Sequential Blow-Off Valve (SSQV) is a dual stage pull-type relief valve. Unlike typical push type blow-off valves, the SSQV will not leak under any level of boost because the boost pressure in chamber "C" keeps the valve closed against its seat (Diagram 1). The SSQV releases excess boost when there is a pressure alteration in chambers "A & B", not by the rate of boost pressure or vacuum in the line. This ensures a quick valve response and complete closure during idle. Many competitors use a push-type blow-off valve design with a large valve to accommodate high boost / high horsepower applications. These large valves react slowly and require high pressure to open, and are not able to activate and prevent compressor surge at light-load conditions. On the other hand, smaller, fast reacting push-type valves do not discharge the airflow capacity required for high horsepower applications and tend to slowly open and leak as boost pressure overpowers the spring. For maximum performance, the HKS SSQV incorporates both a small primary valve for ultra quick activation, and a larger secondary valve for additional discharge capacity. The SSQV is engineered to initially open the small primary valve at light throttle and load conditions (Diagram 2), then sequentially opens the secondary valve for additional relief capacity under high boost and load conditions (Diagram 3). The SSQV is constructed of polished billet aluminum, which ensures long-term durability and a high luster look. The mounting base utilizes a circular mounting flange that combines with a C-clip snap ring and O-ring gasket to insure an excellent seal. The triple-fin discharge port design produces a powerful, unique and aggressive blow-off sound.

The HKS SSQV is available in vehicle specific kits or as a universal unit for custom applications. Vehicle specific HKS SSQV kits come complete with all mounting flanges, brackets, and miscellaneous hardware for an easy installation. For Universal SSQV applications, weld-on flanges are available in steel or aluminum for custom installation.









od for you freak with all that boost-------------------------------------

hks

hot rod,were did you t the small line at?what hose

 

[hot rod rooster]

i have both BOV's and the boost guage all t'ed into the 4 nipples behind the carbs also i have the fuel reg boost line coming off of that set up also!

 

[MattZx6]

what size BOV's are people using on RX1/Apex turbo applications?

 

[4strokes are better than2]

more boost bigger bov

 

[powderlites]

Blow off Valve

Our new Apex turbo kit comes with very large blow off valve.
More then double the flow of past ones

 

[hot rod rooster]

dave were does it fit? same place as before? is it the chrysler one?

p.s dave get back to work! people are waiting for apex kits i assume!LOL
