How good is the HKS SSQV???? (rev2)

[jimGTS]

please tell me, am extremely tempted to buy one now i found they wernt as expensive as i thought!

what are the disadvantages and advantages of this dump valve, as ive heard this is the best one for mr2 tubbys!

help me make up my mind people???????

views from peeps with them on there car would help!

also, if i were to buy one with a mr2 fitting kit, are there any additional pipes, tubes ect that i may need!

cheers!

[DannyW]

Go for it James, ive got one and it's great.
The sound it makes is cool and you can change it with different inserts.

If you buy one tailored for the MR2 then it comes with everything you need to fit it.


Cheers!

p.s. email [email protected] to get a price, i got mine very cheap from there as part of a group buy and can reccomend them.

If your after performance, nothing beats the OEM dump.

Watch out for signs of overfueling when you lift off the throttle.

You may also see a drop in fuel economy!

I had one fitted to my Rev 2 for about 2 weeks then I took it off. It was really really loud. Also my tubby was running bad. Kept stalling between gears when the BOV dumped to atmoshphere.

i heard some disadvantages here, but surely this must be due to how you installed it or how good of a condiction your car is in.

i heard this is the best bov you can buy for the tubby, so why would it cause you to stall.
and i dont quite understand why my mpg will drop as well.

can anyone explain?

Hi,

It may be the best bov, but if you put a bov that vents to atmosphere, the AFM cannot see the air going back into the intake.

This can cause stalling, over fueling etc....

This only applies to Rev1/2 cars.

Any re-circulating bov's shoudl be fine. The best one is the stock one though!

Any that vent to atmosphere could cause problems.

I've got an HKS SSQV on my car and it seems to run OK (before I took it to pieces )

ive just been told the hks ssqv is a recircualting bov which means it doesnt dump to atmosphere (ie, no ppieerrrtttiiisshhh sound when lifting off).
but others are saying it doesnt bump to atmosphere???

whos right whos wrong??

[Cliff]

HKS SSQV is a vent to atmosphere bov, but you can also buy a part which will allow it to re-circ.

However, if you decide to recirc the HKS SSQV then you will not get the pptttssscchh noise, which means you might as well stick to the OEM BOV.

right ok, cheers! (i dont want a recirculating one then, i want the sound).

so if i bought a hks ssqv, its defo a vent to atmosphere straight out of the box??

[Cliff]

Yeah but make sure you get the MR2 Turbo specific kit though. I'll be getting one soon also. Theirs loadsa people on here that will be happy to sell you one for cheaper than the normal retail price.

It is a concern about the possible stalling and overfuelling, but thats when you get a flamer kit!!!
















(Joke )

[jimGTS]

but thats when you get a flamer kit!!!

no chavynesss for me thanks! lol!!

mind you, i think bov's are border line chav, so im skating on thin ice here, lol!!

I got my car cheap as a project, so I've stripped it and I'm doing an engine rebuild....nothing too sinister

I do like bovs, I was just letting you know what to expect, thats all....

will this BOV affect my performance???
or will it only effect my mpg????

what mechanical disadvantages does the hks ssqv cause???
i dont want this thing to cause my engine or turbo to die before it needs to.

The BOV will give you no extra power full stop. The only thing it will give you for sure is a loud whoosh between gears. It may also effect your fueling if you have a rev 1 or 2 tubby. Id spend your money on something usefull and not chavish!

oh i know it doesnt increase performance, but i thought it might do the reverse???
what about getting an apexi induction kit instead?
