3sgte recirculated, Now with PICS! Options

[jgreening]

Today Carl at Speed Source made me a new intake so I could recirculate my Greddy BOV. Here are the results:

1. No more backfires
2. No more puffs of black smoke out my tail pipe
3. No more ricey BOV sound
4. Better response after shifting

All in all, a great mod - unless you like the sound (which I don't).

Here are the pics:

im really trying to keep up and learn something....but alas...once again...im confused! mr lagos? if you would? please?

BPV = by pass valve
BOV = blow off valve

these two things to inherently the exact same thing...the get rid of the air in the intercooler piping that is inbetween the throttle body and turbo between shifts and when you let off the gas
the difference is a BOV lets the air out into the atmosphere..this mean you will run rich for a very slight moment in time as the computer thinks it has more air then it really does and inserts too much fuel into the cylinders..
a BPV (stock version on Mr2 and so forth) does the exact same thing except when it releases the air out of the piping it shoots it down a pipe and back into the intake PRE turbo...this keeps the same amount of air in the system keeping your Air/Fuel at a consistent measure and improving throttle response..

when they refer to "recirculation kit" its basically an adaptor to the outlet of a blow off to connect it to a pipe and run it into the intake such as the stock BPV

hope your cleared up a little!
