That sharp, high-frequency sequential flutter when you lift off the throttle is one of the most recognizable sounds in JDM tuning. The factory recirculation valve on your FK8 Type R is silent. You can't hear it, nobody knows it's there. Install the SSQV4 and every car person within earshot knows exactly what you're running. This is a direct bolt-on blow off valve designed specifically for the 2017-2021 Civic Type R including the 2021 Limited Edition. It uses HKS's sequential dual valve system with pull-type operation so it handles the stock turbo's boost range and it'll handle way more boost if you upgrade the turbo later. The SSQV4's a JDM icon. If you're building a proper Type R and you want that authentic HKS sound, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's What Makes the SSQV4 Legendary\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sound. That's what made this BOV famous. The factory recirculation valve vents back into the intake so you don't hear anything. The SSQV4 vents to atmosphere with that distinctive sequential flutter that sounds like nothing else. It's not a single loud burst like cheap blow off valves. It's a sharp, multi-stage flutter that's instantly recognizable. HKS has been making this BOV for decades and it's been on every major HKS demo car. If you've watched any JDM build videos or you've been to a car meet in the last twenty years, you've heard this sound. Installing the SSQV4 on your Type R gives you that authentic HKS presence. The sound's aggressive, it's distinctive, and it demonstrates the SSQV4's existence every time you lift off throttle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSequential Dual Valve System with Pull-Type Operation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSQV4 uses a sequential dual valve structure. There's a small primary valve that opens at low boost and a larger secondary valve that opens at higher boost. The sequential operation means you're getting smooth BOV response whether you're cruising at partial throttle or you're at full boost. Most blow off valves use a single valve with a spring. You set the spring preload for your boost level and hope it doesn't leak at high boost or fail to open at low boost. The SSQV4's pull-type design doesn't have that problem. The valve's being pulled open by vacuum instead of being pushed by boost pressure. That gives you stable operation across the entire boost range without adjustments. The FK8's stock turbo runs around 16-20 PSI depending on conditions. The SSQV4 handles that easily and it'll work if you upgrade to a bigger turbo making 25-30+ PSI later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBolt-On Installation But You Need a Tune\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a direct bolt-on for the FK8 Type R. HKS includes a buff-polished aluminum pipe that matches the SSQV4 to your factory intercooler piping. You're unbolting the stock recirculation valve, bolting the SSQV4 in its place, done. The mechanical install's straightforward. Here's the catch: you need a tune after you install this. The factory ECU's programmed for a recirculating BOV. When you switch to an atmospheric BOV like the SSQV4, you're venting metered air that the ECU's already calculated for. That causes the ECU to see a lean condition on throttle lift. You need to retune the car to account for the vented air or you're going to get stuttering and poor throttle response. Get the car to a tuner who knows FK8s. They'll adjust the fuel and ignition maps to work with the SSQV4. Don't skip the tune and expect it to work right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAppearance and Presence\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSQV4 significantly increases the presence of your engine bay. The buff-polished aluminum body looks clean and it matches well with aftermarket intercooler piping if you've upgraded that. HKS designed this BOV to complement the appearance created by their intercooler piping kits. The combination of the sound when you're driving and the appearance when the hood's open makes the SSQV4 way more than just a functional part. It's a statement piece. You're running authentic HKS hardware and everyone knows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHKS Super Sequential SSQV4 blow off valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuff-polished aluminum body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSequential dual valve system (primary and secondary valves)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePull-type relief valve operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTriple fin design for iconic sequential flutter sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuff-polished aluminum connection pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on fitment for FK8 Civic Type R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBroad boost range capability (handles stock boost to big turbo setups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll necessary hardware for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits Your Car\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition (FK8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit is ONLY for the FK8 Civic Type R (2017-2021). This will NOT fit the FL5 Civic Type R (2023-2026). HKS makes a different SSQV4 kit specifically for the FL5 because the turbo system and piping are different. Don't order this kit if you have an FL5, it won't fit. Tuning is REQUIRED after you install this blow off valve. The factory ECU is programmed for a recirculating valve. Installing an atmospheric BOV without a tune will cause lean conditions and poor drivability. Take your car to a professional tuner who's familiar with FK8 Type Rs and have them adjust the fuel and ignition maps for the SSQV4. Don't skip this step. The SSQV4 vents to atmosphere which means you're releasing metered air that the MAF sensor already measured. Without a tune to compensate, the ECU thinks that air is still going into the motor and you're running lean on throttle lift. This is a direct bolt-on installation but professional tuning is not optional if you want the car to run properly. The SSQV4 will also be louder than the stock recirculation valve. That's the point, that's the iconic HKS sound everyone wants. If you live somewhere with strict noise regulations or you don't want attention from the sound, this might not be the BOV for you. For everyone else, the SSQV4 delivers authentic JDM presence with that legendary sequential flutter sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n(1) Intercooler Charge Pipe\u003cdiv\u003e(1) SSQV4 Blow Off Valve\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Vacuum Tube\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(2) Mounting Brackets\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Air Filter Diaphragm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(2) Worm Gear Clamps\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(8) Hose Clamps\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e(1) Hardware Pack\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/71008-AH009.pdf?v=1777304397\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eInstall Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"HKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45298573410338,"sku":"HKS-71008-AH009","price":492.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/HKS-71008-AH009_4ag0.jpg?v=1777772662","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/hks-super-sqv4-blow-off-valve-for-17-21-honda-civic-type-r","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
