recirculation bov (how to's) ?

[cr00k_lyn]

Ive searched and didn't find any write-up and pics of how to recirculate the bov. I figured it's time to fixed the annoying stalling on my s13. Right now im running a blitz bov, so if anybody can post up a link to a write up on how do the recirculation that would be great.


thanks in advance

common sense my friend.... run a hose from your bov to after your mafs on the inlet pipe of your turbo think about it... that air is already meter.. you dont want to count for it again or you will run rich...

thanks for the link, was wondering do they sell recirculation kits with the hardware needed to do this.

Just to add options for you, I am not sure of your current or future mods. But with the SAFC II, there is a DECEL Air setting that eliminates the requirement of RECIRC your BOV. I have it set on mine and have absolutely no Stalling problems and RPMs drop smooth as Silk.

Even though the Power FC is so damn expensive, the option is not available....it is the only reason I can slam my friends who all run the FC besies me..

Here's what I did for my Blitz BOV on S14.
1.) Hack off the filter that comes with the BOV.
2.) Use the remains as a flange to connect a hose to the BOV. I've heard that a flange to mount BOV to hot pipe will also work.
3.) My BOV is on the hotpipe. It points to the driver side fender. I connected the 90 degree rubber elbow that came with my Blitz FMIC to the BOV recirc flange. It points down.
4.) I bought a 2' peice of black plastic corrugated hose at the hardware store. This stuff is commonly used for boat bilge pumps or washing machine drains. It fits perfect. I just shoved it into my 90 degree elbow and have a leakproof interference fit W/O any clamps. I might glue it one day. It routes under the PS resivoir and intake pipe. The other end fits perfect over the stock coupler at my intake pipe. I used a clamp there.

I love cheap mods. I was worried about the plastic hose melting, but its held up for 1 year so far. It is likely that I will change this at some time when I get AL intake pipe, but I'm quite happy with it for now.

this is my hot pipe setup and the bov was hacked inorder for a hose to fit on it but couldnt find a hose to exactly fit. So i got a metal adapter piece and use electrical tape to hold it on and the use the fitting end and attached a hose that goes back into my intake. Any help rrobe99999?

thanks.

Companies keep making BOVs with either odd shapped vents or impossible to recirculate.

thank god for my GReddy Type S.

I'm going to have to call BS on the searched part, cause I know for a fact that there's a archived thread on how to recirculate a Blitz BOV.

How do I know? I posted in it and had it archived.

That looks similar to my setup, but the kinked "bends" are killing your airflow, and probably causing surge. It looks like too much of the filter was cut off of your adaptor. The neck of the adaptor is tapered and then gets big at the filter. It looks like you only have the tapered part, so when you try to connect a hose, it slips off. You should redo your adaptor so that a hose will fit good. Try to find a barbed plastic fitting that you can slide over your adaptor and glue it on. I tried using a 90 degree barbed fitting at first, but it was too restrictive. I also had a short hose that was too restrictive. I finally settled on the 2' hose with the large 90 bend from my FMIC kit on my 3rd attempt. I noticed that the stock recirc setup was quite long, and decided that this would be the way to go to prevent surge. Your hose looks like its a good diameter, but needs to be longer so you can route it W/O kinks.
