Fitting HKS bov

[MissRX7]

Hi guys,

Hope someone can help me, i have just purchased a second hand HKS SSQ BOV it came with a fitting but but no instrucions :2Rolleyes

I have read through some old threads which have helped alot but the only thing im concerned about is number 14 and 13 in the diagram below they didnt come with the bov do i need to get some if so were from :xconfused

Many Thanks

I think 13 will be an inline filter but cant help with 14 im afraid. Looks like a mounting bracket of some sort

maybe the bloke i got it from didnt have it on. Looking at 14 i dont think i need it. I think it just keeps the bracket straight when fitting.

I just want to make sure i have everything before my boyfriend fits it.
He thinks he needs a rubber bung,
13
and some jubilee clips.

Sounds like he has it sorted.

Here is a pic of the offending area if its any use. The red arrow is the mounting place i would say. It has a bolt in it so i would not bother with it as long as all is secure

(14) is just an additional support bracket  to try and stop the actual mounting bracket twisting downward due to the weight of the Dump valve, the worst that will happen is that you will find the thing drooping a bit from time to time when you lift the bonnet.

Very few cars that I see with various attachments off the vacuum side of the inlet manifold have the filter attached  (13) and I don\'t know of any that have suffered ill effects due to not having the filter in-line.

So all in all, go for it and fit it with what you have available.

Hope this helps

Thanks for all your help guys we are going to fit it this afternoon  :cool

went into B&Q to find a bung to block the original hose we looked for ages with no luck and in the end we used  a copper plumping attachment and walking stick rubber which went over the hose lol fitted perfectly!!  :rollin

sorry but thats fantastic :Laugh awsome  :Thumbs-up

[MissRX7]

We have now fitted the bov with the walking stick mod :Laugh

The only trouble is is that it sounds very quiet. No where near as loud as the baileys on the astra.

Any ideas??? Or is it ment to be like this.
The little pipe from the bov to the manifold is on and the 90degree hose is all tight.
And of course the old pipe has been blocked off.

I thought that this BOV chirped rarther than a loud woosh sound. I may be wrong tho since i use the stock one vented to atmos

Yeah I agree with Scott, its not a whoosh you get with the HKS one.

My Blitz one I have is really loud.

Ok, i think it is right.

Did we need to remove anything? Just wasnt very loud. It runs fine and there is a noise.

my hks makes a woosh, they only cherp if you run a slightly higher than stock boost

And as for the noise, i get sort of a high pitched whoosh

P.S.

If you want to hear what the valve should roughly sound like, go to the sound clip links on this website for the SSQV

the hks will never whoosh like other valves,they make a chirping sound.i had one on a scooby and got rid of it the sound was horrible and changing the insert makes naff all difference..bailey valve is cheaper and sounds tons beter..amazed people buy the hks..they make a lot of good stuff but their dump valves sound puny..people with no airbox think it is their dump valve whooshing its not it is the sound thru the filters..the hks sounds like a budgie
