Correct me if i'm wrong but if I use the synchronic bov while using the AP for EM then i'll have to recirculate right? Does this hold true for all BOV's used in conjunction with the AP or is it only for the synchronic? Also what bov do you folks recommend and why?

I already have a synchronic but i'm not so sure I want to recirculate.

 

You don't have to recirc but it will yield better performance and less backfires.

I have a GReddy Type-RS set to VTA, it's no big deal really.

 

I tried running without recirc for a while - great for frightening old ladies and little children - if you like that sort of thing ......

 

Yes, you need to recirculate it if you using the synchronic bov with AP.
the car won't run correctly if you just vent it to the atmosphere.

i believe regular type of BOVs dont have this problem

 

ive seen cars with AP and Synchronic vent to atmosphere without much popping or problems. its pretty rare, but sometimes you get lucky

 

Thanks guys but I'm not looking for lucky I'm looking for deffinatly. Basically what I looking to do I guess is trade my synchronic for a good vent to astmophere bov. So what makes one bov better than another?

 

if you are letting your synchronic BOV go let me know because I am in the market for one

 

Noted and you have dibs just fyi it's very lightly used and price will be 120 shipped. I suppose I'll go ahead and post a pic as well when I get home.

I have HKS SSQV vented to atmosphere. Works fine, just pops and backfires a lot on throttle lifts. I like it...scares ppl behind me...especially in an overpass where it echoes.

 

your dealing with the RX-8. nothing is 100% predictable, ask brettus with his turbo install. with the learning ECU somtimes things just happen.

 

im using HKS bov vented to atmostphere, pops and goes rich sometimes on throttle lift but its expected and i like it =]

 

damn you guys got me thinking of venting instead of recirculating... hmmm if I go vent I would get the new greddy RZ bov

 

theres nothing more therapeutic than hearing that blowoff valve go off...

 

There is a company remaking the original Type-S but with a better diaphragm, if anyone cares. Personally I always liked the Greddy Type S over the RS only on the basis of noise (recirculated too) I've had 3 of them over the years but Greddy doesn't make them anymore.. Just sayin.. NGR Performance, they have a youtube channel.

ANd if you are wondering you can recirc the Type S by just shoving the rubber hose over the end of it (there was never an actual recirc kit)

 

i'm looking at our avatars and thinking you might be wrong on that score

 

You are all ricers!!!!

Recirc Syncronic - best for the turbo, best for the motor - best to tune with. Get a BOV speaker if you care that much.

 

I want to hear my pssssssssh damnit !!!!!!

 

I can still hear mine.... just not stupid loud.

Hell - I can really hear it on Kimi MS6 - Syncronic and CAI.

 

if you're not going to vent to atmosphere, you're missing out on all the fun and you should have just bought a supercharger!

yah, I said it...

 

Hey NA boy - this is a grown up conversation....

 

I hate you.

 

yeah Jedi - go back to NAsville where there is no decent torque LOL

 

e tu Brettus?

(back to my tuning I go...) Just wait Kane, I'll show YOU.
