jc052685 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thanx everyone for all the info, I recirculated it into the #4 runner and it works like a champ!! As for beginer league, thanx for letting me know! I try to word things the best that I can, I mostly work on FA-18e,f,g models so in the avation world we sumtimes have to give parts new names. Again thank you, much happier now cuz I can finally enjoy what 13 psi feels like!! WHAT? Recurculated what? The bov? it does not have to be recurculated, it does help though. However where you are resurcing it to is a bit confusing. There is a "popoff valve" on the factory turbo intake manifold. This could be leaking aswell. I think its time you posted some pics of your setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphur280 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 ^Ditto, He's confusing me a bit, cos I have a feeling I'm setting mine up wrong too. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphur280 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 wait, are you refering to the vacuum line running to the intake plenum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy280zxt Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yes I routed the vacume line from the bov to the #4 runner where the stock bov was. I removed the pov and installed a 1 in plug. So there is no leaking from a pov. Basicly myy bov was venting to atmosphere before. So there was some unmetered air. I read on here that you can rout the vacume line from the bov back inbetween the afm and the turbo, or route it back into the intake manifold. Since I was installing an after market bov, I got rid of the stock one that comes out of the #4 runner and that is where i ran my line to. After i did all that and adjusted the timeing some, the car runs really good and im very pleased with it. Searching and reading helped me out a lot. So I hope I helped out with some of the confusion.

nphocus Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'd like to see pics of how your routed everything and even how you mounted the intercooler, as that's the next step in my setup. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy280zxt Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well Itd going to b a week b4 I get the car back. Its at a shop having the ic pipeing welded, a small dent getting pulled out and my rear dif being serviced. If you need pics sooner, search "intercooler" ic pipeing, Anything that pertains to the ic. Theres a bunch of photos of how people routed there ic piping. Its a pain in the ass if you dont have the right tools. I had to cut into the head light brackets to get mine to fit. I use 2 1/2 inch pipe. Goodluck dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no stock bov. There is a "Pop off Valve". This is designed to vent if too much boost is produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy280zxt Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 jc, i didnt know about the stock bov either. I did some searching here and there IS a stock bov. It comes out of the #4 runner. I know what the POV is. Like I said b4 I got rid of it. Do some searching and you find out that there is a stock bov.

tyler031734 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I had to cut into the head light brackets to get mine to fit. I use 2 1/2 inch pipe. Goodluck dude! Really?? I used 2.5" universal kit off Ebay and routed it through the holes for the cab vent, then used a custom piece of sheet metal sandwiched between the radiator and core support. Bent outward to the wheel well and relief cut for IC tubing, then sealed it up with rubber tubing around the border of the new sheet metal. Intake for the cab is the other little holes in the core support. I figure it not only helps more air go through the radiator and a big plus for me, No cutting my car!! Just a tip for future readers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
