hey guys, just a quick question i was hoping to get cleared up. I am going to purchase a hks ssq blow off valve, but they have two set ups. The have one kit with out the intercooler pipe and one with it.

- Do i need to purchase the kit with the intercooler pipe and why?

- If i dont need to, will the install be easier with the kit with the intercooler pipe?

thanks.

 

HKS SSQ is the worst bov for the Evo,get jdm 06 MR diverter.

 

The ssqv is a decent bov but again not recommended on a car using the maf set up like the evo. I would recommend getting it with the uicp if you will keep your stock intercooler and possibly go for the mini battery. It will definitely clean the engine bay up and will look good too.

 

just wondering why the ssq is so bad? i go to car shows all the time and a guy had a 500+ whp evo and he was running it. if it is that bad ill look into something else like the 06 MR diverter. but just wonderin

 

get the kit with uicp, b/c you will need to recirculate!

 

how much boost can your 06 MR DV hold? my friend says his greddy rs respond better than MR dv..

 

I personally would not get the pipe with the kit. It is only one of the two pieces of the upper i/c pipe and the other piece will be a ***** to find. If I was you, I'd buy the kit without the pipe, then get an I/C pipe kit that comes complete with all of the pipes. It will save you from having to peice it all together. Just my opinion.

 

One of the things is that the HKS does not open at idle, which is important for our MAFs to read right. Another is the HKS is way too $$$ for what it is. Just paying for a name.

This has been covered a lot. I would search for posts on BOV, VTA, SSQV.

Some good DVs - IX, Forge RS, APS or a TypeS (which are not made anymore). I ran the S for 2+ years. Melted it racing (long term periods of high exh heat from the manifold). I now run the Forge RS. Top notch - holds and releases perfectly.

 

Here is a great post on everything:

do you guys have problems running the stock MAF with open-atmospheric bov?

 

it does run as smooth as with standalone engine management.
it vents to the atmosphere where in between shifts it becomes really rich slowing you down.

I run an hks bov with maf now and its not as smooth like with the AEM.
I have no problems with stalling or anything like that

 

i would just recirculate it. better for the car. will run just like normal. without recirculation it can run rich at times and lean at times. i have been wanting to purchase one so i have been researching about it. just recirculate

 

Forge Rs!

 

i alot of people had problems from what i hear about this bov. the ic piping keeps popping off. they had to take it back 3 times.

 

the hks unit looks the best imo,,but its function is not worth the fireballs/stalls between shifts..try to get either the forge/evo mr bov..mated to a cone k&n filter its pretty loud..any one ever use the turbo xs pos?
