Glanza_cl Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 on the second generation of hks bov is there anyway of adjusting the spring to be harder, on most bovs there is a dial to twist to change the tention of the spring wondering if anyone know's if it possible on a gen2 hks bov?it's an old photo but the same bov: Quote
addz Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Not sure if they can be adjusted but i know insert fins are available for the second gen. Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 Not sure if they can be adjusted but i know insert fins are available for the second gen.yeah might get a different insert, just wanted to tighten the spring so it chattered a bit on low boost. Quote
pistolpete559 Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 yeah might get a different insert, just wanted to tighten the spring so it chattered a bit on low boost.by-pass the low boost function you dont need it! i have just fitted a gen2 bov mine has purple fins and a great noise Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 by-pass the low boost function you dont need it! i have just fitted a gen2 bov mine has purple fins and a great noise i dont have it, that was an old photo, but it wasnt connected then either.bump for wanting flutter Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I think the ssqv use a diaphragm rather than a spring so is non-adjustable. Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 I think the ssqv use a diaphragm rather than a spring so is non-adjustable.aaahhh really that's a bugger i'm sure the first gen version had an adjustable spring setting, the gen two must be different.oh well still sounds nice. Quote
AlexGTAdv Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Ive got the original SSQV and i took mine apart and stuck some thick washers in to make the spring tighter. Made a bit of difference but now ive just got a good old cable tie round the little hose that goes in the back of the dump valve and it chatters and then dumps a bit, sounds ube!! Quote

Glanza_cl Posted November 19, 2008 Author Posted November 19, 2008 how tight did you have to cable tie the hose? i have quite a small vac line would i benefit from getting a larger diameter hose then cable tying that? Quote
AlexGTAdv Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Cheers adds The vac hose on mine is quite small as well! The cable tie is pretty tight, i'l try an get a pic up, easier said than done with the light now though. Its always dark by the time i get home Quote

Its always dark by the time i get home yeah if you could get a quick piccy that would be cool, tried cable tying it before but didn't do allot perhaps i didn't have ti tight enough Quote
AlexGTAdv Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 As you can see the cable tie is pretty tight! Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 lol yeah that looks pretty tight, will give it a go and see what i can do, cheers for the help mate. Quote
