Re: Bilstein vs KYB
This is too funny. Its been so long since I was on here, that I came across this while doing some research on springs. Read the first post and thought "this sounds like the kind of funny guy that I could get along with" 7 replies down I read the name and realize that this was my question w...

Re: Another BOV que
Thank you Josh. Noted. James614, I guess so. Can't see it knowing when so it would prolly just correct for the current condition but not remember. cj91legss, I can see how that would happen esp after factoring in the aspect Josh added on turbulence (which I hadn't considered before). Thank you all f...

Re: Connection Between Side mirrors and ac?
Thanx Josh. Will look at it and get back if I need any more help or help interpreting it. By the way, I had asked for your help with the steering rack repair kit. The dealer got back to me and said they have it in stock I appreciate your help on that as well. Thanx (Sorry for digressing)

Re: Another BOV que
I think pressurized air could cause the MAF to malfunction over time. I don't think so but I'm open to explanations or theories. If the pressure can damage it by proximity then would increasing the proximity of the inlet solve that? Also Wouldn't ram air from an aftermarket CAI have the same effect...

Connection Between Side mirrors and ac?
Hey guys, I have a JDM legacy with power mirrors, roof and auto ac (climate control?). Sometimes the power mirrors will not work (folding or adjusting), then they will randomly start to function again. I always suspected that it was the switch and was lazily looking for a replacement. However, I hap...

Re: Another BOV que
The STI engine is the same electronically, just tuned for more boost and higher RPMs. As for recirculating before the MAF, that's a strange idea. Sounds like it could work, but if your gonna plumb it back into the intake, why not have it go back in just before the turbo like it supposed to? Because...

Re: Another BOV que
92-95 WRX EJ20G, 96/97 WRX EJ20K, and Forester EJ20G engines are all great power options. But they still run MAFs and are designed for recirculating BPVs :) I actually have a 93 WRX complete engine and trans sitting in my garage right now to go in my wagon. How different would those be to my EJ20G?...

Re: Another BOV que
James614 gotcha. Guess that means looking into standalone ecus and heavy spending on the engine huh?
Caveman227, guess im off to have some fun.
I heard/ read somehwere that the 90 somthing impreza sti v3/6 was pretty much a bolt on replacement for our engines..Would that be an option?

Re: Another BOV que
CAV3MAN227, you also had the same set up? What do you mean by hard piped? I've heard the different theories on running rich but isn't that for like a split second or less? Also considering I haven't tampered with my stock boost, what would be affected? Also wouldn't running the two as described abo...

Re: Another BOV que
Why do that? Just for the noise? I can hardly stand the noise of the BPV....its loud as hell with the coffee mug mod + cone filter intake. If you are still running a MAF based setup....it's a horrible idea to run any BOV period. In a speed density setup, you can run any BOV. Hey, thank you for the ...

Another BOV que
Ok so I looked around and I haven't seen this so I'll ask (Please forgive me if it has been asked) 1. I want to do a dual BOV system, get some additional piping and a T-joint thingie. Have the t-joint before the BPV(in the direction of airflow) and run the t-part of it to a full atmospheric BOV. My ...
