Im changing the APS BOV to the Greddy RS. Those of you that have done this did you weld the flange on the APS intake? Or were you able to find a cupler?

 

my new BOV used the same silicone coupler, so i used the one APS had. there is one out there that can be bought that attaches to the HKS SSQV, it has the circular flange then has the 1 inch pipe, so that you can use the coupler, how does the Greddy mount up?

 

I had my flange welded into the APS intake. If you need a picture steve let me know..

 

Pic would be great!

 

if you dont want to weld something on, you can buy this, its so you can use the silicone coupler, and mount it just like the aps bov.

Tig your the man! Im going to take the greddy one to the shop I deal with and if its close to that price Ill do it. If not Ill use that! Thanks again guys!

 

Tig,

What did you use to cap the recirculation inlet ?

Thx.

 

you can see in that 2nd post in my previous thread, its a black rubber cap, fits the pipe perfect, its a stopper that goes over the legs of a chair, i bought it at lowes.

 

Hahahaha good call. Ill also have to head to Lowes.

 

there ya go... i say weld it if you want no leaks

 

Wow with it welded on it REALLY cleans things up.

 

Welded mine too.

 

Did you guys have to re-tune after the BOV install ?

 

one question, i have a RS Bov, whats the difference...i mean i know you can adjust it, has anyone actually messed around with it. I think the BOV of the Z sucks,,,need more decibels

 

no need, the bov is placed before the MAF...so that vented air is never accounted for to begin with

 

exactly,

of course on the APS they say removing the recirc will cause hesitation, since the extra air isnt sent into the intake charge pipe between shifts, but mine hasnt hesitated once.

 

My BOV is on full recirc.

 

beastie, you recircd the Greddy BOV? did you ever order the wastegate.

oh yeah, i looked inside my resonator on my JIC single exhaust, inside the resonator it tapers to about 2 inches in diameter, terrible bottleneck thats gotta be killing the boost, when i get my car running im taking it to get cut out.

 

Were you able to find it @ Lowes ?

 

How's the sound of the RS w/ the air recirculated compared to venting ?
