Apexi Power Intake questions
I just added the Power Intake and there a two things I'd like your opinion on.
First:
In the instructions thay want you to install this plug/restrictor in the BPV hose between the valve itself and the return to the turbo inlet elbow. What purpose would this serve? It seems that partially blocking this would negate the whole purpose of a BPV in the first place.
Second:
There is no home for this hose. It seems like it only goes from the charcoal canister to the intake resonator, with a vacuum valve inline. I'm thinking that if I just remove the assembly from the canister and plug the nipple all should be swell.

Not sure why you'd want the restrictor....
Yeah you should be able to just cap that off. In theory it'd be good to have a check valve so as to not pressure the canister/fuel tank. I don't really think it's a big deal though.

Just on principal alone, I could only assume it makes for a louder sound when the BPV opens.

That's my guess too. To that I say.....Eeeww.dropdfocus wrote:Just on principal alone, I could only assume it makes for a louder sound when the BPV opens.
Honestly, the blowoff valve is just about the only 'performance' sound I truely dislike.

I'm not sure that you'd want that restriction when trying to recirculate the pressure.

I got mine used here from a LC memeber. You can get them new from RHDJapan(?). There is a recent thread in the 'pre '02 Factory turbo forum over at NASIOC. Somebody has a link in that thread.Dr. Gonzo wrote:YES! Looks so much better than my mug...ca18_sean wrote:Where are you guys buying these apex'i intakes at? Website link?

I just ordered one from RHDJapan.
Should be Apex'i part number 507-F001
Here is the thread with the pertinent information.
And I capped that line from the charcoal canister to the resonator off. It is an auxiliary purge for the canister.

Here are my solutions, if anybody is interested.
For the BPV restrictor, I just left it out as the only "positive" thing I could uncover is the sound it produces. I can say for certain it's a sound I will not like.
For the Evap hose, I found a non-turbo charcoal canister and eliminated the extra line and valve. Non-turbo on the left:
The smaller hose with the Tee was simply replaced with a new one-piece hose.
