To make my Z more fun to drive I had to get some BOVs. As we know BOVs don't realy bring any horsepower instead they just make that cool noise that draws attention. I whanted to go with Apexi brand but I found HKS for just a little more money localy so why not go with better brand. Apexi bovs go for ~ $320 and I got these HKS for $400 localy from [[[ http://www.versusmotorsport.com ]]] the store in Phoenix. It was not a kit for Z32, this place sells parts for hondas mostly and I asked the guy if he will give me a discount if I buy two HKS bovs, he said "yeah dude". I said OK but can you also orded two flanges for me HKS part# 17660-042334. He agreed . After 3 days he got the flanges and all together the cost was $400. 175 for each BOV and 25 for each flange I got an smoking deal.
To put the flanges on the BOVs I had to use heavy duty snap on C clamp tool. That C clamp is tough very stiff. I pulled the stock valves and HKS bovs fit nicely in stock location. Stock hose clamps suck, I used Saab hose clamps which are high quality clamps and they don't dig into rubber. I had to use two vaccum hose adapters to connect stock vaccum source to HKS valve. I used part of heater hose with valve lifter stuck in there and clamped down to intake flanges where stock valves uded to recurcle air.
After driving for one day with HKS in there In my opinion its defenetly worth the money. Engine does not stall after you get off boost and let it cruise, sound is high pitch whisle but its not that loud, you don't whant it loud it can became anoying to the driver. What I found out is that stock valves release too much boost too soon thus resulting in less responce between shifts, HKS SQV release less air so there is still a little pressure left between fast shifts to reduce lag.
Whats your opinion?
