My old Z had some older gen HKS BOV's on it. I loved them and have been trying to track down a pair for a while. I don't anything about them other than they are HKS. Does anyone know a model name or anything? Anyone know where I can buy a pair?

HKS Super Blow Off Valves, the newer style are HKS Super Sequential Blow Off Valves.

I have the same one's as illustrated in your picture.

Here's a link to a pair of them currently for sale: (not my ad)

**Edit** Forgot to add, the pic you have illustrated has the flanges welded to the hardpipes which is custom. HKS did not make the pipes illustrated in that pic. You can buy the universal flanges from HKS to weld to the hardpipes though.

Hope this helps,Tim

Even though they look different they are both HKS Super BOV's?

Hmmmm, just looked closer at your picture. The one's in your picture are the HKS Sequential which are what I have as well. The one's in the link I posted are the first generation which were HKS Super BOV.

Here's the generations in order:

HKS Super BOVHKS SequentialHKS Super Sequential

HKS has made it quite confusing. If you are looking for what you have the picture above, it is the HKS Sequential BOV. I'll keep an eye out for a pair of them.

I'm from Denmark, so I had to look "purdy" up... So do you like it or not? Purdy can mean "overdressed" bot also nice/sexy ;) I don't like it myself, and it was ordered to be polished... But I needed to fit it, so it'll be changed later ;)

I've been thinking of changing the Super's to either the SQV or the SSQV, and was thinking about if the where a direct fit on the pipes...? I think I prefer the SQV, which is still in the nice old school design :bigthumb:
