Well I bought a hks ssqv for the evo x and installed it open to atmosphere without any problems. The only difference I notice is a high idle briefly when coming off the throttle hard. I have no idle drop or flucuations to report though. Haven't seen anybody install one to atmosphere yet and just wanted to share. I used ssqv b/c they can't leak. Their designed for the boost to push them shut under load for those not familiar with there design.

Sounds awesome aimed at the hood vent too!!!!

I beg to differ, Try running high boost. They leak

 

you're actually hurting the performance of the car. This thing runs pig rich as it is so venting air it would normally use to the atm isnt helping.

 

the high pressures SSQV don't leak maybe the regular ones, ive seen the High pressures taken to 30psi on gt35rs no problems
to the TS they make a recirc kit for the SSQV i reccomend buying it and useing it. as the X runs even richer with open atmosphere vent

 

I just wonder why you spent the $$$ on a BOV when that money could get you 45hp with an open element air filter and MBC with money spared. The stock BOV should hold 23psi, which is all you need.

 

I agree.

 

Because these type of people are more concerned with their car "sounding" fast than actually being fast or running correctly. We call them "ricers"

 

Now thats FUNNY!!!

 

Very true. A intake pipe with cone filter will give you all the whoosh you need in my opinion. You don't wanna sound like an SRT Neon whooshing all day long.

 

It's funny how every generation of the EVO, has the same desire for the vented DV. It's always the first mod someone dose, with the same response.

 

you guys ought to watch slinging comments around like that.
1. Tell me how it makes it run richer having it open to atmosphere? I seem to see great gas mileage at speed, nothing is leaking under boost, so I'm still making same power.
2. Hey noobs, I am from the starion community with a 500hp 88 starion built and tuned by me. It takes some skill to build something like that yourself, have you guys built anything custom? try a powerplant noone makes mods for.

3. The bov was necessary b/c the intake pipe I designed and installed was not setup for recirculating.
4. My intake I built and cone filter cost less than most of you paid for just the cone filter.
Just thought I would share some info with you turdfergs, but apparently my post count isnt high enough to be taken seriously.

Looks like a nice job on the ol 2.6 but I still don't agree with the BOV on the X.

 

oh! you guys just got Fed in the A! nice work bro..but IMO blow off valves are mostly noise makers.

 

Pwned.
