bypass valve recommendations for fmic install

Post by baddriver »

I ordered the CXRacing GC8 FMIC kit off of eBay and I want to get an adjustable recirculation valve for it.

Does anyone have recommendations for what brand or model to get?

This will be running with a VF39, supporting fuel delivery upgrades with FCD, manual boost controller and an Apexi S-AFC, and a 3" bell-mouth turboback.

What is your budget? The new TiAL Alpha Q is pretty baddass. They say it outflows my classic TiAL BOV.

Well I'll look for used stuff to cut costs. I'm looking for something
that works well, is reliable and, is adjustable.

I'm not into Pssssssht sounds and car bling, I want a recirc setup,
I'd also like to have adjustablity without switching springs I may lose
later. I'd like to spend less than $100 shipped... $60 would be better.

Just to let you know they do make adapters for the BOV. Just unscrew the horn and screw in the adapter piece for the hose.

This looks like it has enough to fit a hose over and strap it down, or if it's to big you can buy the hose adapter you need.

Or you can do something like this guy Zero cost BOV, or at least to him.

But considering the FMIC kit you are getting comes with a outlet for a recirculation valve. I second the Tial Alpha Q, but it is $200 dollars and takes springs to adjust it.

So for recirculation valve you might want to go for this one ebay link
Just to let you know it claims to only be adjustable from 8-16 lbs. Then again you get what you pay for :(


NOTE: For some reason the code to shrink the links for the last one because I guess some part of the link confused it. After 4 times of trying to preview it to see if different combination would work. I started to see blank posts. Sorry about that :(

If I were you I'd try to find a used HKS SSQV. It's a BOV, but they do make a recirculation kit for it and it doesn't use springs. I have one and I love it. It doesn't leak at idle either (which I suppose isn't a problem if you're running it recirculated).

Thanks for all the advice.

I bid on and bought a used HKS Racing Type 2
recirc valve off of eBay.

I was surprised at how many knock-off HKS products there were
when parts shopping on eBay.
