Going on next weekend - recirculated.

[BBoYRuGGeD]

ahh nice

they make a recirculation kit for that?

w00t! PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Nope, sound will be gone - along with backfires, performance deficiencies, and worse gas milage.

[lagos]

good job...i think youll like that one.

most of the greddy ones will still keep some of the sound after you recirculate it, so you might like it more then your current one.

[jgreening]

It will be interesting to see if my milage improves. I checked again on my last tank and I am at 19.9 mpg. Of course, thats with the upgraded turbo and uncontrolled 540's. I figure if I get a recirculated BOV and a ROM tune I may be able to improve gas milage.

carefull with the ats rom tune, i hear mixed reviews on them.

ever consider a standalone?

[nik]

where have i seen one of those on a celica j/k

[jgreening]

Lookin good Nik.

Standalone would be nice but it would be about $2500 to get everything I needed plus a tune. I am not putting that much money into this car. I am going to buy a nice set of tires though.

I probably will do neither because the last thing this thing needs is more power.

When the BOV goes on, I am also getting my new 36" magnaflow mid-muffler. Here's a pic:

looks great jay.
be sure to get some sound clips for us.

lol you have already went well over the $2500

$2500 MORE.

oh yeah i know all too well about putting to much money into ones ride but i think a stand alone would be a good way to go and you will be able to tune it to get some of that gas mileage back if you want also. Good luck with the Greddy RS we will have to compare sound clips to see if there is a difference between a recir. and a non

edit: what stand alone you thinking of getting if you got one?

Oh, my bad. I'm not a total turbo nut. So then...I guess. w00t!

[jgreening]

I am NOT getting one but if I did it would be an AEM.

how about a simple Emanage?


how about some DAMN VIDEOS JAY!!!! all that power, that loud exhaust, that hot gt4 style convertable...and we never get to see it in action!

[dustin15brown]

i'm not gonna lie, what does this do? I have no idea

[jgreening]

Blow off valve: releases boost pressure between shifts to reduce turbo wear.

[JFrost9]

ok heres another dumb question, what does recirculating it mean, like in terms of improving gas mileage and what not....and i think dustin was wanting to know what the stand alone did, and if he didnt, i would.
Nice cars guys!!

[Supersprynt]

Recirculating means the air that is usually "blown off" is routed back into the intake path as to not create a momentary rich condition which can cause backfires. I dont know how much it'll actually increase gas mileage.

A standalone is a computer that replaces your cars ECU. It is fully programmable to deliver the correct amount of fuel and the precise timing of spark as set by the user or "tuner". Going to a standalone is necessary as power increases because the stock ECU is preset to work on a certain size injector and only so much air flow. As you increase fuel and air flow beyond those limitations, a new computer is needed to control things.

[Defgeph]

Excellent choice. Please hook us up with some videos, I'll have sweet camera mounts for sale soon. You can focus on the road and not holding the cam.

I'll give everyone vids when I meet up with Jay

[JFrost9]

awesome, thanks for the answers... I had heard a little about a stand alone, and knew it would replace the ECU, but i certainly didnt know all that. So what happens if you dont get a stand alone? Like in jays case, he said he didnt want to spend the money to get one..so im guessing its not required?

[StreetRacing10PS...]

is their a way to run it with out the BOV being recirculated and not have any problems. my friends eclipse is sapoused to be recirculated but he got a MAF translator so it doesnt expect the air that is being blown off. is their any thing like this for the 3S??

The point is different for each engine. For a 3sgte, the point is somewhere around 270whp which is about where I am at. I chose this turbo partly because I was pretty sure that I wouldn't want (or need) any more than that.

"problems" is relative. Most of us on this site have BOV vented to the atmosphere and do not have any real "problems". The problems are really limited to occassional backfires and a very slight performance decrease imediately after shifting. If you like the noise of a BOV vented to the atmosphere, its really a pretty small price to pay. For me, the noise is more annoying than anything else so I decided to buy a BOV that can be recirculated. My turbosmart has worked flawlessly and will be for sale when I get the Greddy installed.

funny you should ask. Nuke from celicatech is working on his own version of the afm to map converter right now. he has a prototype built and when the testing and tuning phase is over, he will sell them to the 3sgte comunity.

as for the MAF translator, i saw one on a local DSM and contacted the company that makes them. they said that they plan to add 3sgte support to it, but that it will take some time before thats available.


running the bov vented isint really and problem. most of us have had them vented for a long time now, but i think that once you recirculate it, youll feel better throttle response and get better gas milage, so its a worth while mod.

I used to have that muffler on my car with a 3"core magnaflow muffler in back-it makes a BIG difference
also sounded a bit deeper

if you want it even quieter a freind of mine went with two 24" mufflers of the same kind in series togethe and it sounded good too.
