Hks Ssq Bov Install Probs

[CK34GT]

HAS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH A R34 GTT HAD ANY ISSUES FITTING THE HKS SSQ IN THE SAME SPOT THE FACTORY BOV IS?

MY TUNER MENTIONED ITS NOT A SIMPLE BOLT ON, EVEN WITH THE ADAPTER FLANGE. APPARENTLY HE NEEDS TO CUT HERE AND WELD THERE, HE IS STRONLGY RECOMENDING AGAINST PUTTING IT IN.

HAS ANYONE HAD PROBS FITTING?

CHEERS

need adaptor to fit in factory pipe. No welding required

welding is required for people WITHOUT the adaptor.

CHEERS

Ive got one fitted in my car, there's NO welding required, as it is a simply bolt on the factory pipe along with

the correct adapter plate attached.

Hey there,

I also own an R34 GTT and was looking at getting a HKS SSQV but thought it might not be as easy as "1,2....3"....

Any info would help me also ^_^

Cheers,

MY TUNER MENTIONED HE WOULD PUT MY BOV ON FREE OF CHARGE AS LONG AS IT WAS SIMPLY A BOLT ON JOB AS I AM ALREADY PAYING 2,500.00 FOR A POWER FC, WALBRO PUMP + LABOUR.

HE RANG ME LAST NIGHT AND MENTIONED THAT IT WASNT GONNA BE AS SIMPLE AS BOLTING ON SINCE HE INSISTED WE PLUMB IT BACK. HE SAID THE BOV ITSELF HAD NO ROOM TO FIT AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR MY FACTORY BOV AND THE HKS PLUMB BACK EXTENSION WASNT LONG ENOUGH TO CONNECT WITH MY PIPE LEADING BACK TO THE ENGINE.

HE WAS PRETTY MUCH TELLING ME ITS WAS GOING TO NEED WELDING, FABRICATION, CUTTING, ETC. HE PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME TO FORGET ABOUT IT. I CANT FORGET ABOUT IT AS I HAVE JUST FORKED OUT ALMOST 400 BUCKS ON THIS BLOODY BOV AND I WANT IT ON MY FRIGGIN CAR.

IM NO MECHANIC BUT IS FITTING THE HKS BOV ON MY GTT SOMETHING I COULD DO MYSELF? I DID REPLACE MY FACTORY AIR FILTER WITH A POD FILTER MYSELF SO IF I WAS CAPABLE OF THAT SHOULD THE BOV BE SIMILAR IN FITTING?

THANKS BOYS.

as long as your engine bay is stockish then there should be no problem what so ever. There's the adaptor plate, the rubber o ring to go on the BOV and the little circlip that holds everything in place. 2 minute job putting it on. Pic of engine bay would help/.

[r33cruiser]

ahh i think i see wat your trying to do mate. u want to plumb it back. DONT BOTHER. that is a bitch, and at the most all it would take is the plumb back adapter and maybe half a foot of 1'' rubber hose.

anyway. if u just block off the stock return pipe, and bolt on the ssq with the adapter. it will take about 15min. take out 2 bolts, take off stock bov. block return pipe. stick on bov with adapter and stick in the 2 bolts. thats it. i really dont see how its that difficult. i might suggest that your so called 'tuner' either doesnt know shit all. OR he has seen u coming a mile away. and would like to make a quick buck.

adapter shud look like this

^^^ Bwhahaha...

Back to the topic...if your tuner told you that then he's clueless...get the right adaptor and its bolt on...no cutting no welding no masturbating nothing...be it r32/33/34...

[CK34GT]

hey thanks for the info guys. I think R33Cruiser is on the same page as my "tuner", the plumbing back side is whats causing the apparent massive headache.

Either way we've given the BOV install a miss this time round, but when i get the car back tonight, i will have a look and try and swap my stock BOV with the HKS BOV. I do have the adapter you are referring to with the BOV.

but with blocking the return pipe, whats a good way to do this? as I will attempt to swap BOV's myself tonight.

Hey how r ya, Its really eas to install, no cutting or welding is needed, ur tuner probably thought it was the universial one, wot u need is an adapter! its just a simple bolt on, And you also have to block your plumback with a metal thingy.. mine came with it.. Tough sound but car doesnt run right unless u tune it, ur car will run rich and will stall sometimes.. that is just my 2cents from wot ive learnt.

Geraus.

CK34GT get a pic of your engine bay near your throttle body, its a freakn 10min job and shouldnt hard at all.

even if u wanna plumb it back it is easy as piss, as long as you have the plumb back adapter.

if you dont have anything and jsut the BOV, then yes its gonna be a pain.

if ur unsure like i said post a pic ive done it before

SIF 10 min job.... dont tell him its 10 minutes, he starts to panic after 10 minutes....

i just install it yesterday.

YES i agree with you, theres a hose which is connected to your boost reading for the stock boost gauge in the car, u can just fit the ssqv in an angle around 30 degrees.

you do not need to fit it in horizontally, just give it a twist b4 installing it into the current position.

all you need is an adapter from ebay. works fine n quality is not bad.

[R33Turbo]

mate its PROBLEM SOLVED! he just wanted to plumb it back that is why the issue was so big, and now apparently his not going to plumb it back so it will fortunately be a 10 second job finish!

[CK34GT]

Hi All,

Ok I got the car back last night. By the way the Power FC makes such a massive difference.

Anyways back on topic. I have taken a few snap shots of my engine bay as is and my new BOV accessories.

I have a pretty good idea what to do.

Any advise let me know what you think.

Thanks heaps.
