Hi,
I have a HKS SSQV sitting here that I got with the car.
Totally clueless as to where this gets plumbed into on the rx7. I\'m used to good old fashioned piston type engines. lol.
Is there a Bov fitting guide anywhere that anyone knows of?
Much appreciated!
Jim
ok ill assume you know something then
i have the same BOV
stand in front of your car with the bonnet open and then look to the left of the engine.
You will see that there is a flat big plastic pipe coming going down next to the plenum - look down there - out from the lower intake manifold theres a stock BOV - remove that and plumb in the new HKS bov - "Y" a vacuum pipe and then connect that.
go for a drive and admire the new whoosing noise your car makes.
I\'ll have a look tomorrow mate. Cheers....
I might be back though asking for piccys!!.. lol.
do you have a connecting flange ?
if so this may help

Well, there is two stock "bovs" around that area.
And wouldn\'t it be better to seal off the one you are replacing, and then plumb the HKS SSQV all the way up on the intake elbow? So it sits closer to the intake, and after the IC.
Iv got the same one bud, if you need any help giv us a shout :)
Will do mate. I\'ll probably give it a bash today/tomorrow.
ive got one fitted to mine too if you need some pics let me know
Yeah I will do mate. I took a pic of my engine bay (will post it later), as I\'m not sure what goes where etc.
Here\'s a pic of my engine bay... so where the hell does the Bov go?? ... lmao. I\'m confused!!!!

ah, so do you block off the top hose going into the left hand incduction kit (looking at the pic) ?
Where does the vac line get plumbed into?
Also, where can you get a blanking thing for where the hose would normally connect to on the induction kit??
the top hose that normally goes to the induction kit goes onto the back of the bov and the hole where it would normally goes just gets blocked up with anything,dont know what with mine just has a rubber cap glued onto it:Giggle
let me have a quick look and ill let you know about the vacume hose
cheers mate
right, the vacume hose (blue) goes from the bov,under the intake pipe, and up to the plenum, indicated by the pink arrow,
the \'T\' piece is then run off to my boost guage.

nice one mate... now I get it. Just need to get some sort of blanking thing to go on the induction kit.
Use a bit of hose, a bolt and the clamp bud, pop the bolt in the hose and use the clamp to hold it in :).. job done :D
lol... will do. Hopefully get it done tomorrow! :)
If you get stuck theres another tutorial on this page i wrote a while back:

Nah, I\'ll be alright.. fitted bovs before, just notto a rex.
So do you not remove the stock bovs on the rex, or do they just stay in place??
you leave the one closest to the turbo`s on and remove the one at the front, just behind the drivers side headlight :)
so in a stock engine is there a stock bov roughly somewhere where the HKS one is in this piccy?

:)
does it sound nice lol.. only heard mine from the drive way as it aint registered :(
no because it\'s got a stupid purple insert in it. I want the proper high pitched SSQV sound!!! :(
i read somewhere that it dont make no difference in the coloured bits? that true? mines purple to lol
the inserts defo do make a difference to the sound.

Where can you buy inserts? And what color gives the "nice" sound? :)
Depends what you call nice. Mines gives a lower sound, a bit like a blitz bov. I want the unique SSQV sound tho. (which is the standard insert as far as I know).
Would it be ok to just replace the stock BOV with a pipe, and then install the HKS SSQV at the elbow using a Greddy elbow with a flange?
I would assume so mate? Not 100% sure tbh.
Possibly leaving the original one in place and put one in using a greddy elbow.
you can get the gold high pitched insert from demon tweeks or any other hks dealer. price is approx 15quid
20 posted, just bought the gold 1 :)
What colour is the standard one? I have the purple insert. Will happily swap it for a standard one?
on there site:
Purple - low fequancy noise
Gold - high frequancy noise
Iv went for the gold as iv got the purple lol
