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

[Rory]

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!

Rory

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

Thats what I would do! I got rid of my SSQ BOV because im sure my car wasnt running as fast (could have been in my head though). Im sure my car ran much better with the stock BOV back on. If you want a real power gain get a FCD and grainger valve fitted! I noticed it on your future mods list.

Hello jim, thought id put my 2p in, had a Blitz dvalve on my rev 2 sound very loud and once got used to it loved it! (it came with the car) Initially had trouble with stalling but seemed to sort it with proper fuel and ecu reset.

However it causes probs on rev 2 like chucking fuel out giving you the occasional bang through exhaust and the thing i didnt like most of all which is hard to explain but when you came off the throttle at higher speeds it feels like the the engine shuts down giving you hard engine braking instead of gently drifting off, (as i said hard to explain) try this at 130-140mph feels Very Dodgy especially if going round slight bend.

As i mostly did shortish journeys round town A roads etc wasnt to much of a pain but if going for speed i would think again. If you hav the money to try it go for it you can always stick original back on.

Still loved the noise

Ive had my HKS SSQV on for a month or so and ive not had a single stalling or running problem. and also i keep a strict eye on fuel consumption as my car is a daily driver and i can tell you that it has not been affected at all. the car drives exactly the same as before except now i have the "chavish" sound to go with it.

I can only tell you my own experience James. make of it what you will but my opinion is Go for it!

[Mark Edwards]

I've got one on my rev1. If i had it venting it would hesitate a bit between gear changes, i then had it recirculating and all was fine again. Unless you go for an aftermarket ecu so you can remove the afm then honestly i wouldn't do it, stick with the stock one and forget the noise. Now the motec is on, i'm venting again.

You have had no problems because you have a rev3.

Rev1/2 is a different story.

[DannyW]

Nope mine is a rev1 engine mate.

Paul mine's a rev1 engine

[Paul R]

Nope mine is a rev1 engine mate.

OK, must be something different abouts yours then. Just curious, but why a rev1 engine in a rev3 car?

Seconded although I have the Blitz SS and no probs with stalling, petrol comsumption increase etc. Car runs fine and the same with re-circ

Dude, Danny has a rev 1 engine and has a rev 2 car

Sorry, I should pay more attention. I had a look at his pic, saw it was a 1993, looked like a late one...so thought rev3

Either case....did he do a transplant or something?

I'm surprised you havent noticed any problems......

yeah mate, Danny's was a rev 2 N/A. Transplant by Rogue Systems.

Some rev 1/2 cars are fine with dump to atmos bovs, some aren't.

My car drives exactly the same as it did when I had the recirc on

[Paul R]

Yeah, it is strange..

Did he have his car dynoed after the transplant and with the BOV? Did that not show up any overfueling??

Paul.

[DannyW]

my car looks a bit like a rev3 as ive colour coded the side strips and front lip. don't know why i havent had any problems with the BOV but it's running fine so i'm happy. i have heard of problems with single piston dump valves on rev1/2 cars but the twin piston type like the blitz and HKS SSQV seem to be ok.

I cant see how a single/twin piston valve would make any difference? The key thing is that if it dumps to atmos, the AFM cant be getting the correct reading on lift-off....

We could do with an expert on Toyota's ECU's on the board!! Cant the admin fly one over from Japan for a QA session??

The twin piston types are closed on idle. The Blitz gen 2 I have is designed with AFM cars in mind. Dual drive, Dual piston

Mine runs rich under load and lean when off the pedal.....normal
