when i was tech inspecting SSCA pro rally there was alot of high end "open" car that had a filter over there HKS BOV. i was told this is to keep dirt out has anyone on the road had a problem with not putting a filter over there BOV i do not have one oh my HKS but it is also mounted up high.


Any thoughts would be good.

 

where would the filter go....

someone have a pic of it... i would like to see

 

some say that some air gets in the bov under vac conditions so really don't know if i should be worried or not. i have the HSK SSQ so i don't know if i should be worried or not.

 

bump

 

According to HKS, the SSQV is supposed to remain closed at vaccum - so apparently a filter is not required.

 

you should be fine without the filter

 

it remains closed at vac if you use the check valve

 

the only reason they use it on rally cars is because of all of the dirt and mud and water, you dont get that driving daily you know.

i wanted a picture or the SSQ with a filter

 

which way does the black check valve go for the hks there is a little rasied part. which way does that go towards the HKS or away..

 

bump for the check valve

 

yeah the SSQV is designed so it stays shut at VAC., so it's not really needed. What you could do if you are worried about it is get the recirculation kit, and run it back to the intake pipe between the air filter and compressor wheel.
