i recirculated my bov. i used parts from the alltrac and mr2 intakes to make something that would work in my car. its a little long, and takes a bunch of bends, but it works very well.

the benefits of recirculating the bov are HUGE! i really love it.

pros:
faster spool up
no more back fireing
smoother power
1st gear feels totally awesome.
great throttle response

cons:
no cool bov sound.


highly recomended for anyone with a bov on a swap. its one of those things were you dont know what youve been missing untill you try it.

thats awesome Art! Jay and Art, do you guys think that there is indeed a significant difference by recirulating the bov? Honestly i like the bov sound but i believe in performance over the ricey sound. Can you explain to me, what exactly happens when you recirculate it?



i would say that there is a huge benefit from having it recirculated. the throttle response is a million times better.


I would say there is a benefit...not huge. The biggest thing for me was the end of the backfires and big black puffs of smoke out my tailpipe. Throttle response improvement? Yea, I noticed some....but then, again, throttle response has never really been a problem - maybe it would be if you are on the lowly ct26 biggrin.gif



i dont know if its the hks bov or not, but daily driving (not wot, just part throttle) from 1-3k would sound very hissy. its as if the bov would open a tiny bit if you wereent at WOT. also, on the highway, if you let off the gas slowly, the car would jerk a bit. now it dosnt do either of those. i would also get crazy hesitation when the car wasnt up to temp from 1-3k...though i havent had time to fully veryfy this, im pretty sure this will now also be gone, just based on how the car feels in 1st gear from the driving ive done.
