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:

I don't understand. We are talking blowby here. The intake charge has already been ingested by the engine correct? The blowby is an air / fuel mixture.

I can tell you that my bogging, smoking, and backfires have all stopped despite my PCV vented to atmosphere.

From the information I have read tonight, it seems Art is correct that the rerouting back into the intake (or exhaust for that matter) serves as a vacuum source for the PCV to help the blowby exit. Another thing I don't understand is why a vacuum source is needed. I don't undertand why that air doesnt just escape without the vacuum source.
