Blow Off

[Rikko]

Guys can the HKS SSQV blow off valve be fited to a LCR as i have seen a LC with one fitted and wondered if it was a proper recirc valve. As i know this sounds pretty good when releasing the throttle unlike some of you say about the Forge Split R valve our would you guys just stick to the Forge valves.
Thanks Rikko

it does sound very nice.

I would think it should be OK, so much is true:

Diverter valves (forge, bailey, or any valve with no open end) ALWAYS work
Blow off valves (NOT ssq, like Greddy, Trust etc.) SOMETIMES work
HKS SSQ, as far as I know, always work. On my Leon FR it would go into limp mode when using a Greddy blow off valve, I tried my friends SSQ and its fine.

The HKS SSQV doesn't work on the LCR, trust me i've tried. Your car will go into limp mode and hit a whopping 6 psi.

The Forge SPLIT-R is probably the only semi blow-off valve that stands ANY chance of working on the LCR - HKS definately not.

i have a box at home of all the atmospheric dumpvalves that are supposed 2 work and dont!!its a fact any valve that dumps all air to the atmosphere is gonna balls your ecu up ie limp mode.if its noise ur lookin the loudest recirculating valve is the bailey dv 30 with a cold air feed.sayin that though any recirculating dv needs a remap to amplyfy (dunno how 2 spell that,lol) the sound
