Id really like to see this too. Not even just a Greddy rs but any recirculated bov for that matter. as far as i know though, a recirculated bov takes the air that is being blown off and puts it back into the intake after the mafs. i think you caqn just do this with a standard hose but i dont know for sure. is there usually a stock fitting on the intake piping to connect the hose to?

bet u get alot of compressor surge.when u recirc a bov it without tuning it keeps it from stalling and stuff its like a giant boost leak the mafs cannt account for the missing air (vented) unless u tune the maf out

i recommend recirculating. Btw your stock intake should have a place to run a hose from the BOV. thus the way the stock bypass valve was ran. If you are running the bov open make sure the apater on the intake is plugged. if it is left open the maf will not account for unmetered air and run like ****.

Hey tomm, is that a pipingpro.com intake? Just curious, I'm on the lookout for a new intake so I can recirc my setup.

Im assuming that the fat tube on the bottom coming out of the bov and going into the intake after the mafs is the recirculated element. Am i right? You know what they say about assuming...

just to let u know the hks ssqv recir fiting replacing the fins that give the bov the sound they do. my brother didnt wanna lose that sound so he welded the fitting on the outside instead of inserting it on the inside and than just painted the bov a high temp silver. still had the ssqv sound and got recirculated

teh wiIf I vent my HKS SSQV, the turbo is very laggy (T25G .80a/r on stock internals CA18DET). Recirculated, it is almost scary how much faster my car feels.

I have never seen a HKS SSQV like that. I have a fitting that you put in place of the sound vanes in the echo case.

Yeah! Otherwise known as a big fukkin' leak! Backfiring, stalling, hesitation! Good times!

I wonder what Nissan was thinking of when they produced the CA. It never came with a BOV, hence, no recirculating system. I guess it doesn't really need them, since it is called a Baby RB26. My CAs seemed to run better without it, even as a CA20DET.

Alright i have done both

Recirculated with the Greddy Type S

and

not Circulated with the Greddy Type RS

you recirculate becuase when you shift the turbo slows down and the required amount of air at the idle point is reduced but you still have that huge slug of fuel going into the cylinders so you need that amount of air to make sure you have the right air to fuel ratio so it will go into idling right and it wont try to kill itslef

my car ran fine when i recirculated

but once i uncirculated it use to idle alittle funky untill the air to fuel ratio evened out and it would try to kill itself at idle because it was lacking that little bit of air it need for the air to fuel ratio to be correct

i have noticed frrom personal expirence that this only happens when you are coming to an adrupt stop

but when you slow down properly and dont come speeding into stop lights the air to fuel ratio will stay smooth through the transtion of gears all the way to when you have stopped completely

people have told me for best result RECIRCULATE

but i like my BOV alittle louder so i have opted not to reciculate

and i have been told through tuning i can fix that little air fuel ratio problem

if i am wrong about any this please correct me (i have only had a year expirence with the SR motor) and there are poeple out there with more knowledge then me

yeah the recirc fitting my bro used is the same one u have but instead of being installed inside and taking place of the fins, he welded it to to the outside and retained the sound fins inside

So, if you all want to run BOV without recirc but want the reliability of a recirc, use the HKS Electronic Idle Stabilizer. Also, the SAFC Neo has the feature of compensating for a non-recirc system. If your car has a MAP sensor and is MAF-less, all this stuff is a moot point.

Isn't there a performance benefit of running a blow through setup that blown to atmosphere?

Something like the air blowing off back into the intake will keep the turbo spooling, so that when you get back on it you don't lose as much boost.

Someone correct me if I am wrong here.

I heard nissans and cars with MAF sensors need to be recirculated.Cars like hondas with map sensors don't because of where the sensor is.

I may be wrong but thats how i understand it. MAF=recirc MAP=atmospheric

Alright i know this post is old but i have a greddy type s BOV thats recirculated. I was wondering since i'm getting a dyno tune this saturday can they tune it to where i dont have to recirculate the BOV? If so will that fix the problem and thus i can run it to blow in the atmospher? and if so what did u guys use to cap off the intake?

yea you can get it tuned where you can vent to the atmosphere, or you can do a blow through maf setup, where your maf is positioned with your IC piping, and at least 6 inches from the Throttle Plate. and put your BOV any where on the Hot pipe. easy fix..

and you can vent to the atmosphere that way. i would reccomend that over getting tuned for a draw through (factory) maf setup.
