HKS SSQV BOV help ASAP!

[mw147694]

I found a new HKS SSQV BOV under the xmas tree today and was so pumped and I wanted to install it ASAP. However, the instructions stated that I would need to order a flange to fit it to my stock 03 Mazdaspeed Protege. I went online and looked up info on this and found many different things...can someone help answer these questions for me?

1-Is there any way that I could purchase a flange that would not require welding? (don't really have access to welder)-where could I find one of these?
Would something like this work?

*Universal 1 3/8" Adaptor For HKS SSQV Blow Off Valve-Universal Fitment To Attach 1 3/8" Silicone Hose
HKS Super Sequential Blowoff Valve (SSQV) adaptor is made out of aluminum and easily adapts the SSQV BOV to ANY turbo system without welding.


2-What are the other parts that I need for the BOV? (I have the BOV, c-clip, o-ring, t-fittings, vacuum filter, and tie wraps that came with the part)

I'm kind of new to this so thanks for putting up with my lack of knowledge!

just the flange pretty much do u have any hard pipes?...or are you still running stock piping...i just threw mine on my cold pipe and put my maf sensor after the bov and ran the vacuum line for the bov from my brake booster....and still ran my stock bypass valve

 

[mw147694]

yeah I just have the stock pipes because I haven't really done anything else to the car. is everything that you said OK to do? I just don't want to risk screwing up the entire engine lol

you will need to weld the flange onto a pipe also...unless you can pick one up that is already welded to a pipe...like mine..if i were you put up a WTB thread for a hks flange that is welded to a pipe...i am also running my bov on my stock intercooler until i get my turbolife fmic in two weeks...

I feel like i need step by step instructions with pics haha

 

[axisboldaslove]

you won't...you will need extra piping to make a custom cold pipe though...you can buy some at autozone....i got mine from my friend's left overs from his custom fmic kit

or i know that there is a how to guide on here for how to put that bov on your stock piping without a flange...do a search for it

 

[mw147694]

ok cool I think my buddy who is a mechanic would probably be able to weld it for me...then its pretty smooth sailing from there right?

where could i get a flange tho? i've been looking everywhere--like on *************** which is where i found that adapter

I feel like i need step by step instructions with pics haha

all that i really have to say is make sure that the bov is before your maf sensor...(i relocated mine from the intake to the cold pipe) so if you are standing in front of your car with the engine popped open...it goes bov then maf sensor ....you will need lots of couplers and extra piping to fashion up a cold pipe ...cuz you won't be using your stock plastic piece of s*** pipe...unless you didn't want to buy a flange ...if you don't want to buy a flange then like what i said there is a how to guide on (mounting a hks ssqv to your stock cold pipe)

if you are referring to *t***t**it.com then you can from there or you can find them cheap on ebay

technically you don't have to relocate the maf if you run a dual setu-up which keeps the original BPV in place. You must run hard pipes though. I find it best to run a BOV on the hot pipe and relocate the maf to the cold pipe that way your not venting the good cold air and just dumping the hot s***. Plus the MAF isn't happy for very long with turbulance. By not running then on the same pipe you decrease that turbulance. Look up killing the turkey V2 thread in the MSP engine section for picks and a great write up.

 

[mw147694]

I just feel like I would screw everything up if I did that, but it sounds like a good way through all of the forums that I read. Would there be any way that you could in a way walk me through it? The last thing I need is f-ing up my car haha

 

[axisboldaslove]

i think that you are on your own

It isn't very hard. You can buy a hot pipe with the flanbe already welded on it. Then you get a one piece hot pipe, or 2 piece. measure how long the MAF is then add like 2 inches to each side for the silicone coupler and bolt it in place. run your vac lines and done. it's a real simple deal. If you can't figure that out maybe you shouldn't be working on your car. It's really an easy job. just make sure to measure and remeasure right so you don't over cut. if anything under cut you can always take more off but you can't put more one...atleast easily.
