yeah the knock off is the same thing as the real hks my buddy had one and it sound the same.same nice ass turbo sound..whooooooooooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!comparing the hks real and the fake there all made the same...its just that when someone come and take a real look at your boc they just wont see the hks and say your a fake..

[BBoYRuGGeD]

thnx for ur reply...and nah i really wouldnt care what anyone would say if they saw it was a knockoff. im a firm believer in quality over name... anyone else got any experience with these things?

i have the real hks and i run it vented, so i get the sound and everything. the problem with running it vented is that youll sometimes bog down just a bit between shifs. i mostly notice it on part throttle shifts, if that makes sense. its not a huge problem tho, and ive been running it that way for over a year now.

the hks, or fake hks is probably the most responsive bov u can buy.

[Supersprynt]

Ditto and I havent noticed any bogging.

I have the greddy RS older style and it came from a 23psi IS300 it was so loud it hurt your ears if u had the hood popped.. Im selling it to my cousin though because i like the HKS better.

[BBoYRuGGeD]

ah i see...thnx for the input guys! i think im gunna grab the hks style ssqv now after i do a lil messing around with my intake

I think the SSQV is just a bit too expensive considering that it CAN look ugly after some time. I've seen it on a Supra MA70 I think and there were traces of oxidation.
But I bought one anyway because I'm convinced of the twin valve concept, because it looks nice and because I don't like cheap copies / fakes.

i might believe like maybe if your lucky you'll get a good one but chances is that youll get a defective actually i believe super street just did an article on this! and they explain how some people have gotten blow off valves that wont open and blew someones motor. and others whos open up too much and let boost out excessively .........so yes you might get a working one like players but dont be surprised to find a messed up valve.

lol, there is no way that a defective bov can blow your motor!

[BBoYRuGGeD]

wow BOVs that dont open can blow peoples' motors?!? lol nah i doubt this. the only thing that'll happen if the valve doesnt open is that u'll get some turbo killing surge and that in turn will rip apart the compressor blades (assuming the force is great enough to do so)...and if the shrapnel enters the motor then boom! ... wait so i guess crappy BOVs can blow engines! lol only if this situation happens tho

im guessing this is what happened in the article you are speaking off

if you dont have experience in it try not to post about it...



... Do as I say not as I do ...

Roel listen to your boy ... DON"T get the knockoff..... trust me when i tell you don't get it..... its not the same thing as the originaly ... on the outside it looks the same on the inside its like night and day .... the knock off's are cheap for a reason .. cause the internals just don't have the same performance as the real thing... you can get luck and have one that works fine with no problem .. but the damage that you can get from a knockoff (with no company warranty) is not worth it..... Get the real thing .. it will save you alot more money in the long run.... and come by my house and i'll show you some pics of what a ebay BOV can lead to.

edit;;;; didn't see your post on you getting a real one .. so never mind.... call me up when you get it installed..

Since the stock 3SGTE on the alltrac (the engine you have) doesn't have a BPV, and the worst thing that a BOV can do is not open, then you don't have much to worry about.

That said, the knockoff is not the same level of quality as the real thing. I'm glad you got the real one.

By the way, you'll still hear it a little bit even with it routed back into the intake.

yah i been thinking of this for awhile. the alltracs got no bpv but the mr2t with the same engine does. im thinking it has something to do with the alltrac being tmic and the mr2t being smic (which will have longer piping). maybe the turbo surge is worse with longer piping, smic and fmic, than with short tmic piping. cuz ive gotten rides on alltracs with no bpv and i dont hear the same surge on their car as oppose to my car when boosting. and yah im damn glad i got to buy a real brand new HKS SSQV..which should be coming in a day or 2!!!
