Help -> HKS SSQ Bov Problem

[Kaido_RR]

hey,

ok today i was driving, and i notice i couldn't hear my bov, after turning off the radio i could hear it but it sounded like it was block or something im not sure, but always when i got home i found that the tube had fallen off (see picuter) after reconnecting it my question is does it just clip on or do i have to put some tape around it 2 hold it on.

Thanks

[Kaido_RR]

cameron, the hoses are fine, i dont know if there is a clamp missing....? the 2 little round things just clip in together

[cameron]

maby replace with new clamps or something smaller ?

[Kaido_RR]

cable tie it for now hope it holds.... anyone got a better idea...?

i dont know much of HKS BOV's, but with any pipe thing like that you can use either a cable-tie or a very small screw-tighten type clamp.

the clamp is overkill. as long as u put a small zip tie on and zip it up as tightly as you can, you shouldnt have any problems with it i wouldnt say. my BOV on my car has its vacuum line held via a cable tie and has no problems.

but yeh if it falls off, which i doubt it will if u do it nice and tight, a really small screw-up hose clamp would do the job too =)

indeed... you can get them really tight if you use a small flathead screwdriver to lever it.

Nice front bar Mike, the standard setup uses the larger of the hoses all the way to the BOV. That little valve being used as an adapter is the culprit. try to replace the entire section with the larger hose and standard clip clamps.
