It's a classic. That NFS sound that made some of us like cars. I'd want to have a car with that kind of BOV sound. (I'd probably use TIAL on the rest though). I agree though, I dig it haha.
I have had the TurboSmart 50/50 bov (in the stock turbo location) on my Focus ST for years. It got old, but now that I'm going big turbo, i had to upgrade. The HKS sounds way better than the Tial imo...but then i didnt even realize the HKS had optional inserts! I still like the one it comes with, silver (high frq), but got to know if i want to i can swap out later. HKS is def a quality part so far too..though it is a terribly tight fit on our cars between the fmic and throttle body..it looks good even though no one can see it ^_^
Currently I'm using without fin, the sound just like an ordinary bov. Actually I like the high freq sound, but I won't use it because here in Malaysia too many teenagers amateur car drivers using that sound on theirs tiny Daihatsu Mira 60whp cars due to all performance car parts shops sell it (the fake HKS SSQV from China), and it is the cheapest aftermarket bov here. So if I use that sound too, I will feel like an amateur driving an Evo. I want to swap with Greddy Type-S or Turbosmart Dual-port bov that sounds better but I love this genuine 1st gen HKS SSQV, not only because it's sounds but it's value.
Hey man was seeing if you can help me out just got the bov for my q60 but seems like I don’t get the bov swoosh in park only when am in gear stepping on the gas ,is there something I possibly did wrong or the mechanic did wrong
Purple and no insert sound very similar if not the same. Were you able to tell any difference? Was going to purchase the purple but if it's no different, I rather just run with no inserts.
@@dorado6159 I just swapped in the BOVs couple days ago so appreciate the info! I kinda like the original insert more than I had expected but I'll try out the no insert as well. Thanks!
Congratulations brother! Welcome to the family & I bought it all. I'll link the video I made when I first installed it. ruclips.net/video/jj5lj9oKFwg/видео.html
Amazing video, do the frequency’s make a difference in “performance” or anything significant. Does no fin do any harm? And negative thoughts on the bov? Thinking about ordering it soon
Thank you brother, nothing performance wise. & as far as I know no it does not, I have been thinking about going back to the high frequency one though. & no negative thoughts about them! Love the way it sounds and it keeps your turbos safe
I haven’t heard anything about taking them out having a negative effect on the BOVs. If you hear anything please let me know! Lol It is a common practice removing them though
The blow off valve doesn’t care what whistle it blows through after the air is discharged. You don’t need an insert at all it’s just for different sound frequency
Hey man I wanted to ask, now that you’ve had these on your car for a while, any issues? And have you ever had to take your car in to Infiniti? Did it cause any warranty issues?
I haven't had any issues with them & I've been pulling them on and off messing with them making videos and nothing. I don't think these would affect your warranty since all it's doing is protecting your turbos. Infiniti may want you to have them professionally installed to not void your warranty.
Idk HKS just seems gimmicky. I use turbosmart and theirs is adjustable to make the spring inside stiffer to hold pressure long. When its stiffer or less responsive it dont release pressure at lower rpm making the turbo have flutter sounds. That is more useful then changing fins for sound. good video though.
The hks doesn't need anything adjusted, because the boost pressure keeps it closed and it releases easilly under any boost level. I had a greddy on my car making 22psi. It wouldn't hold boost unless I cranked the bolt in to put more tension on the spring, then it'd not want to open under lower boost at all. Switched the the ssqv and it solved all my problems.
anything but the gold and u bought the wrong BOV for most cars tbh. Usually the other options are cheaper for the same minimal woosh sound u get with the purp insert haha. GOLD IS CLASSIC
in their defense...most companies dont allow you to adjust the sound of their BOVs. You have to spend $200+ on their bov, then go sell it and buy a different one to change the sound. Since BOVs do nothing for performance, its kind of convenient that HKS allows you to simply buy a fairly cheap part to alter its sound vs trying to go buy a different brand, which in a lot of cases also requires a whole new charge pipe with a new flange/bung for that specific brands bov.
Crap video, all the test were free revving, driving the engine under load, actually building boost will make them sound way different.. but the cars an automatic, so a bov is kind of pointless
I love the high frequency one. Just brings back memories from NFS underground and it’s so nostalgic while also sounding amazing
same here bro
One love! 🫠 🚗 ⛈
thanks for the timestamps bro, not many people do that. its very convenient
I try my best to add them bro, really appreciate you watching
I kinda dig the high frequency fin. Idk haha
I feel you lol I may eventually go back to it

I do too bro, I swapped back to the gold ones not too long ago.
Noooo Monica!!!! 😂
Liked & commenting solely because you did timestamps. Bless people that do timestamps.
lmao I'm for the people. Thank you for watching!
I like the high frequency. It sound very similar to my 2018 b9 S4
I think I'm going back to the high frequency ones bro
I like the high pitch sound so, gold one
I just put that one back on bro
@@dorado6159 nice👏
low and no fin sounds nice to me. i think ill go with a low. thanks for this video!
No fin for sure bro👍👍
Agreed!!
Sounds like Wataru Akiyama's big turbo levin with the high frequency fins.
It does sound better without it.
You said that already lol
But on the wrong video.

Would have loved to hear the purple fin under load.

yooo, i just got a q50, and when i’m parked i try to rev it and the bov barely goes off, is that normal?
Yes bro, the car needs to be under load so you can build more boost.
Hey bro you have a link where I can get the gold fins ....my silver fins I had melt down on mines ....or where I can get the silver ones back
Can you use the gold fin one one side and purple on the other?
I'm sure you could, it'd probably sound a little weird lol
just curious of the sound it would make lol
Hey man was seeing if you can help me out just got the bov for my q60 but seems like I don’t get the bov swoosh in park only when am in gear stepping on the gas ,is there something I possibly did wrong or the mechanic did wrong
What's up bro! What model Q60 do you have? It may be that they didn't hook it up properly.
@@dorado6159 same here & everything is hooked up properly per the czp install vid
@@marcklycharles do you have a red sport? If not maybe it's because you're running lower boost.

Really want the cf grille
Changes the look so much, I think I'm going to just wrap it black though
I just saw the Mercedes star and had to watch the video, lol. Needs more boiling milk to get the Oscar
Is this Chinese or something? lol
is the gold fin the same as the one thats included with the BOV? they look to have the same design with the obvious difference being the color
They are the same!

High frequency and no fin sound the best but if I had to pick one I’m going with high frequency

Where do you typically install BOVs?

@@perziano6134 no stock fin is the highest frequency. Purple and gold are the ones for different frequencies. I think 30 bucks each

In your personal experience what one gets the best flutter?
Purple or no fin
I'm thinking of taking one fin out on one Bov so I can have best of both worlds lol
Should mess with it's Performance right?
lol I have no idea what that would do
When your talking about no inserts you leave the circular peices out of the BOV? Does that not harm the BOV?
I haven’t heard anything about taking them out having a negative effect on the BOVs. If you hear anything please let me know! Lol
It is a common practice removing them though

#NotificationSquad🙌 🔥🔥no fin is better!
Real one!! & I agree!!
Anyone know if it sounds the same on a non red sport and red sport? I know the intakes aren’t as loud on non red sports
If both are stock I feel like it would probably be a little bit louder in the Red Sport since it has more boost stock.
@@dorado6159 I know for sure exhausts and intakes sound louder in the red sport. But I heard the BOV sounds same. Not sure how true that is
@@ttran626 same & I feel like if there is a difference it wouldn't be noticeable

what you mean? lol
In order for the bov to go off you need to have the turbo spooling. The only way you do that is under load not just reving the motor to the moon.

I may swap back to that one
No fin hands down!
