Today Carl at Speed Source made me a new intake so I could recirculate my Greddy BOV. Here are the results:

1. No more backfires
2. No more puffs of black smoke out my tail pipe
3. No more ricey BOV sound
4. Better response after shifting

All in all, a great mod - unless you like the sound (which I don't).

Here are the pics:

I took some pics last night but haven't downloaded them from my camera. I will try to post them in the next day or two. I will not be setting up a group buy on intakes since I already have one. Also, this is a piece that might be better off made as a one-off since configurations could differ (battery relocation, other components, etc.).

Is this different than the recirculation that already occurs in the 3rd gen 3SGTE?

it works the same way mike.
the BPV on the 3rd gen, and jays recurclated BOV both just vent the air that gets released by the BPV/BOV bake into the intake stream, pre-turbo.

Ah yes... now that you told me on IM that he has a 2nd gen.... it makes more sense..

My understanding is that 3rd gens do not have bpvs. They are speed density systems. The 2nd gen has a bpv stock in the MR2. Alltracs dont use one.

Uhm so what do I have recirculating in my stock airbox??

---

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

#19

oops. I made a mistake. The difference in the speed density system is that BPV doesnt need to be recirculated to avoid the problems with an open BOV in a second gen. My apologies for the confusion.

BPV = by pass valve
BOV = blow off valve

these two things to inherently the exact same thing...the get rid of the air in the intercooler piping that is inbetween the throttle body and turbo between shifts and when you let off the gas
the difference is a BOV lets the air out into the atmosphere..this mean you will run rich for a very slight moment in time as the computer thinks it has more air then it really does and inserts too much fuel into the cylinders..
a BPV (stock version on Mr2 and so forth) does the exact same thing except when it releases the air out of the piping it shoots it down a pipe and back into the intake PRE turbo...this keeps the same amount of air in the system keeping your Air/Fuel at a consistent measure and improving throttle response..

when they refer to "recirculation kit" its basically an adaptor to the outlet of a blow off to connect it to a pipe and run it into the intake such as the stock BPV

hope your cleared up a little!
