To install ssqv

As pressure rises in chamber C, pressure is applied to both the Primary and Secondary valves. The higher the boost pressure, the more pressure is applied to the valves, preventing leaks.

Typical push-type blow off valves require spring load settings for each vehicle specification. If the spring load setting is too low, the valve may leak under high boost and the desired boost setting may not be reach.

If the spring load setting is too strong, it may not open at low boost. The Super SQV will operate under any boost pressure setting without leaking. Parts necessary for installation are included. SSQV4 can be easily installed on a vehicle with this kit.

As shown, the SSQV is getting its vacuum signal from the small nipple on the side of the intake manifold. The filter is placed on the line. My car runs a hard induction pipe so I am going to highlight one technique to recirculate the BOV. First, attach the 1 inch heater hose to the end of the BOV and snake it towards the induction pipe. Mark the spot where the hose meets.

Sand the cut side of the gas line remove any debris. Now weld the gas line to the hole on the induction pipe. This is now the proper size nipple to connect the recirculation line to. Finally, connect the recirculation line at both ends and then use clamps to tighten everything down. Viola, a recirculated blow off valve. Circled in red is the BOV recirculation start and its termination on the induction pipe. Mark the termination point. The new nipple welded to the induction pipe. Right now the adjustment seems to affect at what speed I experience this.

A loose setting makes it happen at lower speeds, a strong setting makes it happen at higher speeds. Like I said a boost guage purchase is in the works NOW. Update : Now that the gauges are installed, it basically gave me a better idea of how and when it releases.

I've experimented with the adjustments to both extremes. Here's what I found: All of the way tight : The car has significant compressor surge, but it's only evident at the minor throttle modulations you make when maintaining speed.

The tighter you go the more you get on the higher speeds. I was getting surge maintaining MPH. Loosen it up a bit and it goes away at 70 but you can still feel it at like All of the way loose : I ran this way for quite a while. Slight throttle lift will release the valve just a smidge too soon.

But it's perfectly fine to run like this. The little valve releases on throttle lift no matter how tight you have it. Now that I run without an airbox ran across a cone filter during my travels it's loud even though I have it recircing. I'm still working on getting more sound clips. Please note that although I am recirculating the blow off I have removed the airbox and replaced it with a cone filter, the blow-off sound is very audible once you do this. No need to vent-to-air to get your cool blow-off sound!

In all of the sound clips below the microphone was placed in the engine bay, clipped to the battery sheath. The microphone cord was temporarily routed through the inner gap between the front fender and the firewall, passing right on top of the door seal into the car, where the recording equipment was operated from. At 10 seconds you will hear acceleration and gear shifts to 3rd then 4th. This recording was made with a voice recorder using the cheap wired microphone that came with it.

The sound was then recorded by the Microsoft R Sound Recorder version 5. The sound clip is 15 seconds long. The file size is 2,KB. Click this link to listen The following sounds were recorded by the Microsoft R Sound Recorder on my Windows 98 laptop. I used my clip-on studio microphone normally used on my trumpet, hooked into my Behringer Eurorack MXB portable mixing board.

Sound Clip 1 - Hard Acceleration This is a launch, pure and simple. You will notice I actually got some tire spin in first road bumps I also very very quickly ran out of road! So no shift into 5th. The sound clip is 25 seconds long. This was to demonstrate the little valve popping even on slight lifts such as casually shifting gears. The sound clip is 19 seconds long. The file size is KB. Click this link to listen Sound Clip 3 - Playing with 2nd gear I wanted to try an demonstrate how quickly the turbo spools in this one, started recording in 2nd gear at around RPM then jabbed and let off the gas a few times.

Notice that the turbo spools immediately. It was too hard staying in second so at the end of this clip I went into 3rd then 4th. The sound clip is 12 seconds long. Click this link to listen Sound Clip 4 - Light Acceleration, better recording quality After the 3rd clip I noticed the recording quality needed to be set for each recording or it'll default to the lesser one. So I went back and did light acceleration again. The file size is 1,KB. Click this link to listen Sound Clip 5 - Playing with 2nd gear, better recording quality Same deal as clip 3, but this time I had the recorder set up like I wanted to.

The sound clip is 18 seconds long. Click this link to listen Disclaimer and Notices These pictures were taken with a consumer point and shoot camera Nikon Coolpix without tripods and professional photo lighting.

Sort by date Sort by votes. My SSQV was relatively stiff in my Extreme pipe's flange, but it could be rotated without too much force. My recirc pipe held it in place for the most part. I did not have the O-ring though. Some people run it, some people dont. I would imagine the o-ring would tighten things up in the flange. Upvote 0. DaveT Proven Member. I had issues with mine. I installed the snap ring per the instructions and the BOV was not tight. I pulled the snap ring off, flipped it and reinstalled it.

That was it, on tight. Might want to try that. I wouldn't recommend runnign it without the o ring. I don't even see a reason for that logic in anyway. Mine is a bit hard to turn but not bad at all. Bottom line is if you do a boost leak test and nothing is leaking from that spot then you are good even if it swivels in the wind. I tried getting that ring on for 6 hrs straight, Literally. I broke 3 pair of snap ring pliers, 1 pair because I put them on a bench and hammered them cause I Was made, go figure..

Got another one and it went ok, I don't know what the ordeal was but I was not happy. Yea, the snap ring isnt the most endearing invention of the last century
