anyone know the exact way on how to remove the inserts to put in a new one. need to know because im taking out my purple insert for a gold insert

 

subscribing cause im interested to.

 

If you look straight into the BOV there are 4 hex head screws. Unscrew them and the enitre silver cap/front piece comes off. Thats it.

 

what's the diff in sound?

 

Yea what is the diffrence? im interested

 

it says the purple is standard low frequency sound and gold is louder. my purple insert now sounds pretty loud like a greddy type S.

 

Doesn't it come with the purple one?

Let us know how it sounds. These are $25 and may be fun to toy around with

 

yea it comes with a purple and i ordered a gold for 25. i didnt see 4 hex bolts i see like 8 or 9 hex bolts

 

Only 4 come out from what I remember. Just test them until they loosen.

 

dang i hope the insert has instructions with it

 

what if you take it out can you run no insert how does that sound

 

how many different inserts are there?

 

let us know how its sounds after you switch them

Your purple one uses all of the 8 hex bolts to hold in the valve suppressor a bit more tightly for a higher piercing sound. When you switch to the Gold one, it uses only 4 of the SMALLER hex bolt openings. It says it (though in Japanese) on the instructions that come with it. The 8 hex screws remove the outer housing.



The sound to me is a bit more "Professional" and not as high piercing. It sounds great after 14psi, but with less pressure, it's much quieter.

Tried it. With no insert or outer housing the Valve only sees like 2 psi, then it becomes a pressure leak. You can't hold boost without it.

do you have any sound clips with the gold insert?

 

i didnt really notice that much of a difference. I would of put that money somewhere else

 

I have a vid clip, unfortunately I haven't had the time to convert it and have it hosted..

 

i want to hear it!

Can anyone tell me why it sounds so different on my car VS. what i have heard on evo?

 

^^^Because your a ricer. haha

 

the gold insert= turbo bling. the silver insert is the same which comes on them from the start.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by TheShodan &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

damn '04 member!!

really it sounds completely different on the evo, much better on the evo. Is it because of the low boost? 6 vs 20 psi?

What do you guys set the spring tension too?

Wait a minute...

You purchased a HKS BOV, only to spend more money to make it sound like the less expensive Greddy Type-S?

Or am I misunderstanding the purpose of these inserts?

 

i read up and it says that the gold is louder pitch than the purple and stock insert. The gold insert is liek an upgrade fromt he standard purple that comes in all the hks ssqv

Look at the instructions closely. The silver insert( The way it came in the universal application in the box) has all 8 screws being used to hold the diaphram in. If you notice on the instructions........ only the 4 smaller holes are used to hold in the gold, to change the sound pitch. (See how it only shows 4 holes being used......)

If you look at the 2 inserts together, one is SLIGHTLY (look closely now) thinner on the Upper "triangle" than the other. this is what makes the sound slightly different.
