YAY, an unreliable leaking noise box!

good purchase.

Hopefully you plan to run it to atmosphere so it can effect your horsepower too!

and the link goes to civic coil overs..

 

I have some ssqv parts if you're interested.
Congrats on the purchase

 

Great purchase mate. I've had mine on for about 6 months and couldn't be happier.

Cosis- I've run 3 different cars with HKS SSQV's and never had an issue (inc a 450HP Nissan).
Where do you get your info? Did you have one with an issue or are you just a hater?????
The only thing I do agree with you on is DON'T run it atmo or you will have issues.

 

Hey JCM, Just wondering why you think not to run the SSQ bov atmospheric?

Im running mine atmospheric at the moment. Should i convert it back to recirculate? hmmm

Cheers man.

 

No problems but I noticed the gas mileage is better recirculated

bad link!

 

Go search the evo X boards and youll quickly learn when hundreds of them will tell you to steer clear of the ssqv. On our car in particular, running it to atmosphere without being tuned to do so is stupid. You run the risk of going lean, and you WILL hurt your performance.

power > noise.

for the record i ran one on an srt-4 with close to 400 at the wheels and it stopped working, as it did for a friend of mine with a similar setup. Lousy build, but good intentions.

 

Because our cars have maf sensors the ECU adjusts AF, spark etc based on the reading from the MAF assuming that the BOV is setup recirc. If you have it atmo, you can cause catastrophic damage to your engine.

I would only suggest using and atmo BOV if you get a retune ASAP.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I agree with you about running it recirc not atmo.

I know a few guys running them on Evo's and RA's without any issues but they were ALL setup recirc.

Not good to hear that you and your mate had them fail on you, but as mentioned, I've never had an issue and they have a very good name with alot of tuning crowds.
