HKS BOV Question need help ASAP! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

burgy240 · 05-07-2007, 08:36 AM

I have a mad boost leak because I shot the adjustment screw out the back of my HKS SSQV. does anybody have the specs for the screw itself?? IE, length, width, thread pitch? I need to get a new screw in there ASAP. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Just take it into Fastenal... here are locations in Tampa... These guys are awesome when it comes to nuts and bolts. They will probably look at it and be like
"oh yeah. 1.25 pitch double flux capasitor hex nut... we've got em right over here!"

I love fastenal

Thanks, but I still would like to know tha actual length of the screw, not just the width and thread pitch( which I still don't know for sure yet). I want it to be the BEST fit possible! I appreciate it though

oh yeah... good point. They would have to guess on the length but then again would it matter if extra was sticking out of the top?

did you try and call HKS's tech / product help desk? Sorry I cant actually ANSWER the question seeing i dont have an HKS BOV, but hey... I do what i can...

Sweet! I'll give them a call and find out. Thanks

----They told me it is a 6mm bolt with a 1mm thread pitch. They didn't have the length though

They suggested that it be a 1/2 inch or shorter though. I just don't want one thats too long and has the ability to be tightened too far. Thanks again guys----
