First time I see an Asian speaking Kentucky fried chicken
Sorry, I don't speak McDonald
haaaaaaaaha
AYO😂Forreal
The clapback is real
I’m dead 😂
I like the flatter noise on low boost. I like the replica better.
Run no bov you'll get a better flutter. Flutter comes from the turbo not the bov. The bov makes the pssh or cherp sound. Reason why the flutter is gone with the better bov is because it's working better at releasing the pressurized air when you come off throttle and the air has no where to go but out the bov. Cheap bov didn't let the pressurized air out as good so it when back through the turbo making the flutter.
@@remyche8768 ya but only on los boost so it’s not that big of deal right ?
i like the replica better
:( mine doesn't flutter what the f. It just blows off ridiculously high pitched lol. It's got.boost alright but I want sone stututurus
@@know1n359 you need a turbo bro
This video actually helped me.. I bought a used but new HKS a while back but I thought it was fake.. so I didn't put it on my car.. but I wasn't to worried about it because I didn't pay much at all for it.. after seeing this & pulling the box off the shelve were its been for about 5yrs I realize ITS REAL!!! LMFAO but it was used so I bought a flange kit offline so that part isn't real.. my question is do yall know it HKS sells just the flange kit with gasket, clip, ext?
If you don’t like surge, check the vacuum connection on back of bov, it is not producing enough vacuum to pull the gate and vent the air out.
That S14 outside 🔥❤️
Any chance you can measure the flange thickness I need make a block off plate for mod plate and haven't yet bought the bov yet
I have the old school smooth housing hks ssq and it sounds so much different and better than the newer generation ones
My SQV is not a counterfeit, but the low-speed pressure relief at 3-4000 rpm is different from your low-speed pressure relief at 3-4000 rpm. How should I install its pipeline to make the pressure relief sound like yours? ?
other than sound, did u guys look at the pistons, seals and see if they leak?
We hope you all enjoyed this video. Any questions?? Drop it down below👇
I have used a real and replica one on my Megane RS. I dont think you get those in USA.
But they are both very quiet, unless I am on full throttle under load.
If I rev in neutral regardless of throttle it will not release...
Any ideas? Honestly will probably just throw on an older turbo smart one.
But its baffled me...
I guese a tight bov is kind of the "Functional" priority... but I am a bit disappointed even the HKS was very quiet.
I even tested both and got same boost, same sound... just a matter of reliability but they seemed as strong as eachother.
2.0L inline 4, about 290hp from the crank. 14.7psi. (Small turbo)
@@MiraSubieGirl In neutral, though it may not be as loud as with the car running, the bov should still open. Put hand in front of bov release port and you should feel air being release. If nothing at all, then the bov is not opening. Suggest checking vacuum line and dont use thin soft rubber line because they may calapse under vacuum pressure and heat.
@@MiraSubieGirl Make sure that the vacuum is not clog and hook to a port with access directly to the inside of intake manifold.
What’s the point of the little filter that put in the thin silicone hose?
Thank you for sharing
You're welcome
Those both sound way different compared to what my HKS sounds like. I have 0 turbo surge at 2 lbs of boost or 19 lbs of boost. The HKS sounds much better though for sure. It sounds like that knockoff is to restrictive to dump the boost fast enough.
What's the durability on the fake like , dose the spring begin to leak ? Also your accent sounds awesome I'm from NZ and Americans sound diff but your accent sounds like a mix between then more American though , my high boost is 23psi in the ej
great info
Thank you. We will try our best to pass our knowledge to all our viewers.
Thank you
how much hp were you making on 7 lbs of boost
Thanks Man. It helped me, but i read on the internet That the original hks 4 have 2 valves. Smaller for lower boost (0,2-0,5) and the bigger for higher boost (0,5 - 2,5). Is That right?
nice to see another hmong brother out here on youtube. nice vid and very informative. subbed
Nice Vidio sharing
Nothing beats the “Real” deal 👍.
has anyone had the fake one for a year or two? was there any issues?
I have always had a question I had a replica and it was identical to the authentic one but the nuts and the rough part that you mentioned that wasnt smooth in the authentic one is what really told them apart. Can you tell me if the authentic one you have holds vacuum or does it slowly release it?
m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=909338782559852&id=100004512164948 here is the link showing the quality of the copy.
We don't have the necessary tool to test that right now. But how are the T-piece and Snap ring that comes with your bov? Do they match our authentic descriptions?
@@risin9365 no they were the same as the fake one you have. It was black and the t piece was cheap plastic. I can tell you now they are using a silver snap ring now and trying to pass it as an authentic one but the part doesnt seem to have the bevel cut on it. Counterfeit has gone a long way to be honest. When I did the vacuum test on mine it held vacuum but it leaked very very slow so I know the fake BOV had good response. This is my second knock off I tested. The first one I had you knew it was a knock off. Had hks written on it too but it ripped the diaphragm and I repaired it and also trimmed the housing because it was poor casting that wasnt cleaned off. I'm sure it was a rushed process being made but overall it did work properly. The down set was that the black snap ring was prone to rust. I also forgot the dual action that the authentic one does the copies do not do. The center part is molded together with the outer part as just one piece design as the original hks has a two part relief action. The one thing I wanted to know is the authentic one really hold vacuum and not leak anything. If the original did have a very slow leak as the fake one I could really say the copy is just more cost effective and the real thought would be how long that copy will last before something breaks on it. Obviously the quality of the original is outstanding and it will last way longer.
@@PeNDmN Yes, the authentic one does have two stages of release. Replica ones are stepping their game up, the Bov itself looks very identical now externally. We have not taken apart a real vs fake bov internally but that is a great idea to show comparisons internally. We must do a video in the future.
@@PeNDmN Replica company tends to not waste money/time making the t-piece with HKS branded on and also a nice fine snap ring with the bevel cut on.
Flatter sounds better and it remind me of the Tial bov
You're not really hearing compressor wheel reversing or fluttering with low boost, that's your wastegate fluttering from the low throttle surges within the vacuum lines. You would really only hear compressor surge when letting off the throttle as intercooler pipes have a bunch of pressurized air inside and nowhere for it to go. As far as liking or disliking the wastegate flutter, that's subjective. I never gave a damn so long as everything was working.
do you think buying a replica is worth it off your own a budget. reliability’s and performance wise
Can you send the link of the replica?
Take out the insert in the bottom of the bov it will eliminate the high pitch and just be a straight woosh.
sub'd for the accent
Low boost surging isn’t the worst, so I mean it’s not that bad. But I just found out mine was fake, but got it for free secondhand so not the worst. Mine flutters a bit at higher boost tho sometimes I think it’s not working lol. It’s HKS black fake not a copycat tho.
America is great ! Asian , Italian who the F ever ! Lets all be corn fed, race car enthusiasts together! GREAT VIDEO BROTHER !!!! Any advice on manufactor to use on a 2011 335xi twin turbo ? has a jb4 tuner , exhaust , cat less down pipe , intercooler , snow performance stage 2 meth kit but blow off valve stupid loud at low rpm's like you were mentioning in video ! new to turbo tuner car life ! once i drove this car i had to own it ! engine would buck bad upon heavy acceleration, found cylinder 6 80% leak down failure, only 25lbs of compression ! injectors seem good and coils . No idea how cylinder 6 ended up poop! Also had a low coolant alert every 50 miles or so put on car , failed a pressure test but could never see any coolant leak, even up on lift !!!! no milky oil mixed with coolant and car never blew smoke out exhaust ! I found a company to sell me a fresh remanned motor for 3,000$ , what should i do in the 30 days it will take to get motor ? I like your character and your intelligence and how you explain without all the social media ass juice retard extra shit ! I could really use your help brother and appreciate your videos thus far ! snow meth kit not installed yet . car never been right since i bought few months ago . in engine malfnction reduced power mode car ran accelerated smooth , soon as i put jb4 in auto tune full power mode , upon hard acceleration car would hesitate and jerk frekin hard ! then jump in reduced power mode until engine light started blinking and lost cylinder 6 . hope hear from u ! james renai , in Delaware my facebook .
Guy now i used the fake one . I plan to buy a original one ssqv4 my question is what a different in term of performance also the sound is the original sound louder ? Thanks guy sorry for my english im from thailand .
Have you got a link for the fake one?
😂😂😂 you broke h0e
that isnt the turbo surging. thats just the bov being off on the spring.
My hks recently stopped making the high pitch blow off sound, my car still holds the same amount of boost pressure it just makes the turbo surge. Do you think its maybe a spring issue?
Sounded identical at low boost.
flutter is from to small of vaccum line running to it.
correct
The replica will not last longer. I have using it on Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 4G93T with stock boost (0.7bar), after 1 month it started to sound like turbo flatter, then I bought a cheap used real first version of HKS SQV and changed it, no more turbo flatter sound... I still using it for over 8 years now, still working great, not sure what will happen if I increase boost pressure, I will try it soon. But my both HKS SQV have adjustable spring pressure, it is the first version, chrome body.
The replica works ok until pushing the boost up. We highly recommend the real version to eliminate any possible leak. You may have the earlier HKS version which is still a great product.
@@risin9365 maybe the replica did you using are made in Thailand or Taiwan, it's quality is better than made in China. About boost leak, the replica does not leak. But I heard, the real SQV cannot hold very high boost. I hope someday someone will make a prove video about it. Anyway, thank you for your video.
I'm not gona lie I do like the flutter 😊, even though is not good for the turbo.
It doesn't damage the turbo but it slows down the compressor wheel which causes lag
So I ended up purchasing a replica thinking I was getting a good deal. Now that I have it I am curious as to any problems with installing the replica versus going about getting the authentic?
Just get you a very good snap ring tool and you should have no problem. The replica snap ring may be a bit of a pain to install but it is manageable. Also the replica rubber o-ring may make it a bit more difficult because the size may be too big or too small depending on the supplier.
Where did you buy the replica
@@mookz5 I got mine off ebay.com. The mount, snap ring and o-ring were purchased separate.
I use to have a HKS with 8 bolts but all the rest was exactly as yours and was proper Loud. I’m getting 100% real now but did HKS ever made an 8 bolt SSQV4 version?
Dude mine is the same & it has 8 bolts in the back but everything else looks like the one in the video .I been running it with no issue on my sr20det for the pass 7year & it’s loud .
@@JV-fu8br yea mine aas very loud as well! No issues but want everything original now lol
I think i have a diffrent replica i think i have 3 fins on top and in the front where you can change the cross for other sound i only have holes for the bolts
I can’t stop hearing a version of Cleveland from Family Guy/the Cleveland Show!!!
BOV touching the coolant hose...doesn't it push on both parts when going wot and hit each other?
There should be some gap for engine flexing me thinks.
What's the name of the song?
Youll also know its hks if that c-clip is a pain in the ass to put in. Lol but keeps it nice and sealed when installed.
You are correct.
Bloody oath man....I had 8 valves installed in the 2j head in the same time it took me to sort that clip 😑
Hi its me Matt.
Hi Matt. When you going boosted?
Hey this vic
how many psi can the hks bov hold?
All the psi. The HKS SSQV is designed to seal better the higher the boost goes. It's a Pull-Type BOV, so to release the pressure, it is pulled open AGAINST the pressure, not WITH the pressure like, for example a Bailyes DV26.
@@frankotto83 thanks for the info.
@@tommyfacekicker no problem Dude!😊👍🏻
That replica sounds badass where can I get it
ebay
Replica all day. Seems like too small of a difference to care.
just a good fact. the one fin on the top doesn't make it a fake. that is a fake one but that fin doesn't identify it as fake. HKS made several different models through out the years, my wife has an OG HKS on her wrx with no fin and its authentic. Every time HKS releases a new BOV after the first original one they added a fin. The original real HKS was a smooth surface with no fins. The SSq2 has 1 fin, the ssqv3 has 3 fins, the ssqv4 has 4 fins, DO not use the fins as a identifier for being a real or fake HKS. Another way to tell with the better looking fakes that actually say HKS on em. the fakes dont have the trademark logo in the corners of the HKS badges on the valve itself.
How to pay 240 bucks for the same thing....
The evo hks bov is 550$ before taxes :(

The replica is better and comes with the added benefit of not driving around like an advert
Rather just go real , hear the reps tend to be defective alot
Does it sound the same doh
glassjaw624 dude for real 😂😂
At least the fake is still sequential yes??
Still makes the iconic HKS sound.
Can you give me a link for the BOV

Bruh my dumbass just bought a replica😂😂💀 fuck it ima see how nice it sounds lmao
It should be fine
Risin9 bet 👌
Reason why i won't buy one, prices are all over the place.
Enjuku is a trusted place to order the HKS bov. Prices are higher because it's the real deal.
Real HKS if you look at the big lettering it will be reflective, a fake will not
If I have 18 pounds I should probably get the real one then huh?
The replica out here catfishing 🤣 this dude voice and face catfishes me.. no way did I think this dude would sound like this talking 😂 got that down south draw ..
You really can't tell the difference tbh in my opinion.
Original HKS flutters more 🤣
Fr 😂😂
Are u a descendant of genghis khan 😂
Above is a simple mechanical device ... nothing complicated... this over hype doesn't Wirth the price.....
If your car is a 7 lb boosted...u can do without genuine hks bov 🤣.
Bov require correct set up... vaccum/ boost hose connection and pretension spring are important.
Dam mines fake 😥
Fuck it if sounds good 🤣
Replica and real one are made in the same damn factory by the same lil asian boy who hasent had a meal in 5 days. Little Timmy says it's the same shit lol.
Καμία διαφορά. Την ίδια δουλειά κάνουν.
Το original είναι 250 ευρώ
Το άλλο είναι 50 ευρώ
Εγώ έχω το φετινό. Είμαι πολύ ευχαριστημένος.
Δεν υπάρχει λόγος να αγοράσει κάποιος το original , εκτός και αν είναι πλούσιος. Χα χα χα χχα
hhah replika better 😂
