Wow that sounds great! You love to hear it!

[@redlinek2063]

Sounds really good, let us know how it goes after data logging to see if it's good for the car or if there's something to watch out for I would definitely want to try this after you upload an update 👍🏎😎

[@captainrrrr]

Sounds awesome 😎

[@slowest.fk8]

sounds soooo good!!!

[@DarkKiro98]

My man! Sounds nice! I know exactly where this was shot at as well. 😂

[@nomumashisomoshiso]

Sounds great! very loud!

[@allena5702]

LOVE this and want it for my Type R, but I have PRL Charge pipes, so I’d have to swap out the hard pipe part for the HKS Unit most likely, then I have to plumb the recirc tube back into my full Eventuri somehow…

[@Jmoneyy365]

You should do more POV drives awesome!

[@Kodawari.FK8]

I will. And also Track POV coming soon!

[@MuffinMan0521]

I'm thinking that the tube going to the hard pipe near where the BOV connects is already the recirculating line so you could get an adapter to hook the big HKS line to the smaller stock line and not have to fab up a hole in your coupler.

[@oOomadboyoOO]

Hello man, nice video at first :)! i have a question, what make your SSQV HKS bov make that stututu but the regular HKS SSQV ? thank you in advance :) and cheers from Morocco

[@speedisf]

Sound good

[@Vesper778]

Sounds awesome! But having a bov on my mk7 gti before and knowing a lot of people who had it we all took it out after a while because the sound gets old eventually. But again I drive mine daily, if this was just a weekend toy it is perfect.

[@shenray337]

What’s mean by old eventually?

[@sahilfakhri2100]

@@shenray337 he most likely means ur gonna get annoyed by it sooner than later

[@danielbryan5689]

My friend got this for his FK8, whenever he lets me drive his car, I never want to give it back!

[@shuvang]

I just ordered mine yesterday for my 2018 SI and it arrived in like 24 hours. This sounds so good! I am sure the recirculation model will work fine with no issues.

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Yea with the recirculating kit it probably loses like 15-20% of its sound but damn it still sounds soooo good.

[@shuvang]

How did you take off the fitting? It says to unscrew only 4 bolts to remove the cover. But how can you pull it off with leaving the other 4 inside? I got the cover off removing all 8 screws. Can’t get off the air vent fitting.

[@Kodawari.FK8]

It's on there pretty firm. Once u remove the 4 front screws that they show u, use a towel and flat head and wedge it between the cover and back side and pry gently

[@shuvang]

@@Kodawari.FK8 So we leave on 4 screws and remove 4 like how it said? And just pry it off? Yeah I tried pulling it and it did not budge at all. I saw a video of hks recirculation fitting. Will probably have to try again.

[@shuvang]

I barely had the bov for not even a week. And I can see problems already with it. Did you custom mount that inlet to have the hose work? I have the prl inlet I would hate to revert it back to stock and then be able to just recirculate it.

[@Quartertosuccess]

Car sounds and looks great!🔥 How did you active the rear view camera while driving? Honda hack?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Yes Honda hack pro version and u can remap a button to activate reverse cam

[@kevinmorales8094]

Do you have an install video?? Also I’m going to buy a prl prl high volume intake kit will this hook up directly to it with out modding the fittings??

[@gmadgengarage]

Nice Koda! It sounds great. It was great to see your car in person at the AHC meet by the way. Super clean. 🫡

[@abbanosman1846]

Is the hks bov with the purple fin? I have a ITS on order and I would love for the car to sound like this

[@marcusreyes2219]

Do you have installation instructions ??

[@marinostseriotis6657]

I'm running the HKS super sqv for 2 years now without the recirculating kit and didn't had any issues.

[@shuvang]

Do you floor it from time to time? That’s where the real test comes. I’ve floored it from time to time with the torque solution adapter and it sometimes went into limp mode. Going to test without recirculate since I just finished the install.

[@Kodawari.FK8]

I floor all day haha

[@shuvang]

@@Kodawari.FK8 Well i’ll update if it goes into limp. Lol

[@pedromachadocreste7760]

Yooo, are you still using it? update us on :D

[@pedromachadocreste7760]

@marinostseriotis6657

[@rndz1k113]

would this sound be achievable on a 10th gen civic si?

[@juliansandoval3211]

So you had the engine light on before the recirc kit? Cuz I have the bov on aswell and the light went off because of it 😂 been over 20k miles w it and runs perfectly fine

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Never got cel with recirculating kit

[@SleeepyHeaad]

Does that HKS BOV come with the recirculating kit you mentioned? Sorry new to the turbo scene was always NA

[@Kodawari.FK8]

It's a separate kit

[@Shhhhhh668]

What’s the difference between this BOV and the Original HKS blow off valve? Do you have any experience with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV for the Type R?

[@richardbolsac4756]

This is the same BOV. But instead of letting it vent into atmosphere, you can install a adapter it gets shipped with and attach this to your stock recirculation tube so it doesn't vent into atmosphere.

[@shenray337]

Man. It’s sounds soooooo nice. Can we get the HKS recirculating kit or how do we recirculating it?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Yes I used hks recirculating kit but I had to make modifications to fit the PRL coupler

[@ericesteves3452]

@@Kodawari.FK8 could you please add links on the parts you had to use for the modifications? Or, At least give us more info on what’s needed for modifications?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

I made an updated video with more info. Scroll through my most recent videos to find it

[@rmangel2419]

I would be smiling 25/8 driving like that

[@ugurasci4404]

Can I Install this on complete stock engine with no tune or any modifications? I am interested in getting a cool air intake and this exact blow off valve, am I able to install it without any computer work or any process that follows after it?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

If you recirculate the air, you shouldn't need a tune.

[@user-ju7ie9wv3k]

Hey! My fk8 have a PRL P700 Turbo now, and I have this HKS Blow Off. It used to sounds awesome but with this turbo it doesn't sound great anymore. The blow off it's making a very low sound but not in comparison to the stock turbo. What Turbo do you have?

[@shenray337]

It seems funny. It should sounds more louder then the oem once you have upgraded to turbo.

[@schues17]

how much different / or more does it make when compared to the PRL HVI ?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Check out my last like 3-4 reels that's spoon turbo with hks dp/fp/intercooler, Apex'i exhaust, and prl hvi (Race). Sounded pretty good until the hks bov now it's like PRL sound followed by stututuutu

[@xchugsxahoyx]

When you bought your recirculating kit, did it come with the hose from the BOV to the Intake?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

It's a separate part number for the recirculation kit that comes with the bov fitting and hose

[@nicdennypranoto]

Question: isn't that the turbo flutter sound? the sound it makes when the pressured air went back and hitting the turbo? so recirculating the air does not solve the turbo flutter problem?

[@cupid1313pr]

I think this is more so either the shape of the HKS BOV making the air coming out sound like a turbo flutter or its a valve opening and closing over and over and a very precise pressure to let air out in a pattern that makes this sound. The HKS BOV has some different fins that change the way it sounds also. TLDR this is not turbo flutter but I dont exactly know how the HKS BOVs work.

[@richardbolsac4756]

​@@cupid1313prI think this is turbo flutter. There is an adjustment screw inside the valve to adjust tension. He probably has his adjusted to tight, therefore the valve is not opening completely and redirecting air back into the turbo.

[@harambeboy]

Do you have a link to share regarding keeping the rear camera on?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Google Honda hack. I think the website is called autohack. You need the pro version. Install it to your head unit and you can map any button to do anything. So my little "voice command" button on the steering wheel activates my rear view camera

[@harambeboy]

@@Kodawari.FK8 rad dude. thank you!

[@FenixTX717]

How did you get your camera to be on while not in reverse?!?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Google Honda hack pro

[@golugrizz]

What steering wheel is that and how did you retain those buttons? Guessing you fabricated them to retrofit.

[@Kodawari.FK8]

It is the seeker racing spec wheel. It retains the oem controls. I have a video on it on my channel or check the description of the video for link to the product.

[@20block.Pologroundz]

Can you give me the size of the fitting parts you used to modify

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Hey I just took the hose that comes with the recirculating kit to Home Depot and found fittings lol

[@sdawgwolfe8371]

Any idea if this would work on the 2019 accord 2.0t 6mt?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

If there's a will, there's a way. Just need to make a couple custom ports.

In my Swift doesn't sound like that... It's almost quiet. Maybe because my intake is stock?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Yea intake will make a big difference

[@yeunghunlee]

Were you able to keep your stock ECU?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

Yes. Stock ecu + Hondata Flashpro

[@schues17]

what color insert you using ?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

The insert on mine is for the recirculating hose

[@andregallimore2656]

Yow are there steering wheels like those for 8th gens?????

[@Kodawari.FK8]

They should all fit gen civics using same works bell hub. Check out seeker-web.com

Zero issues. Runs strong as hell and I get on it everyday lol

@@Kodawari.FK8 sry.. what i mean is how u modified the bracket on prl hose

[@Kodawari.FK8]

I took the hose from the recirculating kit to home depot plumbing aisle and got a fitting that would accept the hose. I cut a hole on bottom of the prl coupler and stuck that fitting through and JB welded it on.

[@xLemonIce]

Do u think black n silver bov have diff sound.. i install it today without recirculating hose.. i dont get the stustu sound.. only ching.. does the stustu happen coz of the reciculating hose?

[@Kodawari.FK8]

They're the same sound. Are you running bigger turbo or catless downpipe?

[@jimmyvargas130]

That only recommended for more then 500 hp bat fk8 don’t need blow off valve not good for engine
