HKS Bov No Sound Hardly?

[l3igl3ang]

yeah i finly got my stuff to use my hks on my eclipse but i cant here nothing no swosh or any thing. Could it be becuse im useing a Recirculation peice ? and how much trouble would it be to set it up to were it vents cause i belive this bov is made to vent and not to Recirculate

for the time begin i stuck my greddy back on which gets louder then the hks if i cant figer it out i will probly just have to resell it.

 

[FastGS-T]

so you are recirculating your hks bov? Thats why you dont hear anything. But you shouldnt be venting anyway untill you have some type of compensation (Blow thru setup)

 

[mooglepimp]

Well, if you're recirculating then it wouldn't be very loud. If it's suppose to vent, and you want the sound, then take off the piece. But don't vent unless you are doing it properly. I bought my car with a venting BOV, changed it to a 1g and took .4 seconds off of my track time.

 

[l3igl3ang]

yeah thats what i thought why i couldnt hear it i think i will just sell it and stick to the greddy one cause i dont know about venting it knowing my luck i will screw something up or make it run like crap.


just courios if theres a guide on how to set it up and would it work with my setup i dont have any mods beside the bov and after market air intake.

I am recirculating a BOV and it is louder than all hell. Loudness and pitch depend a lot of the supporting mods, how much psi, what size turbo you are running...things like that. If you put it on a stock car, no it isn't going to be very loud only dumping 12psi. 28 is another story.

 

[FastGS-T]

you are not supposed to vent your blow off valve while you are still using the stock mas air sensor. because your bov is venting all of the air the computer has already added fuel for

read up on adding a gm maf and maft

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

Or with DSMLink. I still use my stock MAF and am currently venting with no problems. I find the blow thru setup as a waste of money on 2g's. Many vendors, AGP, SBR, AMS will say the same too. All you are paying for is to vent your BOV on a 2g. Great upgrade for 1g though.

So you are suggesting that he can vent with DSMLink only. DSMLink doesn't allow you to vent properly you still need a GM MAF + MAFT to vent properly.

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

No I know you can vent properly with a blow thru setup. But when you are changing the computers fuel so it doesn't think that air is comming in between shifts, why not vent. I have watched a ton of DSM's on the dyno get told because they have DSMLink they can vent if they want.

 

[l3igl3ang]

ok i will stick to my greddy for now then. seems like alot of work

So you are saying you spent money, on ANOTHER aftermarket BOV, when yours was fine...because you wanted it to sound louder? That in all respects was a waste of money. BOV loudness will depend on how much air it has to dump off.

 

[mooglepimp]

I think that this is what you're talking about.

its a knock off one which didnt cost much im just going to relist it on ebay and take alittle loss on it

i didnt know about the venting part b4 i bought it >< or i wouldnt had gotton it

 

[Jeff822]

i have the hks ssqv bov and i am venting it now, but will be recirculating it soon because my gas milage got worse since ive had it for the past 2 months but other than that it hasent caused any problems that i can tell, can recirculating it cause any problems?

 

[mooglepimp]

My care came to me with a TurboXS bov that was venting. At the time I knew next to nothing about DSMs, so I didn't think it was a big deal. Then I started to notice that under heavy boost I would run really rich, and sometimes my car would die when I would shift into neutral. I don't think it actually does damage, persay, it's just not much of a mod at all because it doesn't give you any performance increase (that I know of). But I will admit that it sounds cool as hell, and I scared the CRAP out of a few pedestrians .

 

[l3igl3ang]

so if i want to vent it i just plug up the pipe on my intake and let it vent and it dont really hurt nothing besides gas MPG?

No, plenty of other ill effects happen. You car is calculating you have x amount of air, and when you vent inproperly, you now longer have the same amount of air; you have less air. Now you are running rich, more fuel than air.

When you vent inproperly plenty of problems CAN occur. You run rich, poor gas mileage, stalling, or you can start to have idle problems. Or you can have all of the combine.

Venting is good when done properly, GM MAF + MAFT. If you are going to vent, vent properly, if not do it right recirculate it.

Hopes this helps, Stay boostin

so i basicly need one of these High $$ thingys

[MCDGexx]

That plus a UICP w/ a blow-thru set up, so you can add a GM Maf after the BOV, off like a corvette or something there, so when it does calculate air, it does it AFTER you vent. Then you need an intake pipe that doesn't have a MAF on it.

 

[JessesTalon]

Why dont you sell off the extra bov you bought (if i read that correctly) and buy a gm maf and maf-t (you can get them both used for 150-200$) and then vent your hks...

I ran a hks ssqv on my 1g with regular maf no driveabilty problems) and it only got better after i went to the gm maf maf-t setup... not to mention you can tune gm maf-t's very well.

 

[HearMeSpoolin]

alright i take that back, after a day of driving it, it does run bad, loss of power and my gas gets sucked down like no other... im hookin it back up

 

[DSMark]

no this is kinda old, but im venting mine now and i dont have the stock intake tube, but mine runs fine and doesn't bog or anything? just a lil rich at times. this is the stock bov too.. loud as hell

Yes you can vent your bov without seeing or feeling the problems, but trust me they are there. Your car reads the air running through your stock mass and calculates the fuel needed in your engine. The ecu also adds the air that is being recirculated from the bov. By venting you car is adding fuel for air that isn't going back into the system. No matter how much you say you don't feel a difference, the difference is still there and I wouldn't recommend running open atmosphere to anyone without a GM maf+translater. All cars are different, some will bog and won't even idle properly, others will run just fine, but either way the problem is still there.

edit... after driving all day like this, it does run bad and have loss of power and runs too rich...

 

[TurboDreamzGST]

i also have an hks ssqv and when i had it vented it was very loud but once i put my re-circulation kit on.....i didnt hear anything at all so its normal to not hear any noise when the re-circulation kit is installed but it is better to have your blow off valve re-circulated to keep from running into problems such as stalling, running your car rich, or poor idle

Dug this one out of the woodpile.
