I was wondering if the air exiting a blow-off valve on a s13 red-top would have to be recirculated back into the intake to avoid the engine from running to rich. If so, how. this may seem like a stupid easy question but i'm kinda new to the nissan scene, thanks for ur help:ylsuper

Is this a stock bov? If so it does need to be recirculated back into the intake after the MAF sensor. You could do this by connecting some radiator hose from the BOV to the intake.Hope this helps

You just run a hose from the discharge part of the BOV, to a spot inbetween the MAFS and the turbo inlet on your intake pipe.

Atmospheric BOV's do make you run rich and can cause other problems as well. I hear you can tune them to work good, but i know mine has idle problems due to it.
