executor485 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Alright... Here are the pics of my install, the BOV flange didnt get mounted exactly where it should have been, but we made it work none the less. If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off.

tingtang Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the whole ssq valve. The recirc kit came with mine. It's just a round flange with a tube to connect the recirc hose and is either $18 or $33: http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=798 It's what I am using right now. did it change the sound at all?? it looks like the recirc kit replaces the fin's that actually make the noise on these BOV's.... hmm... maybe ill catch you at one of the meets and i can hear for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it better at full recirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RShaw Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm having problems trying to get the passenger side of the bumpe to fit right. I have the ic piping as far back as possible and the bumper still hits right by the fog light hole. There is nothing left to trim, I cut as far as possible. The bumper is getting hung up And doesn't like to lign up with the fender without force. Has anyone else had this problem? The only solution I see would be to hammer the pipe a little.

tingtang Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 it does take a little bit of force to get the bumper on... even without the IC piping.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that problem... It just takes a little bit of messing around with it to get it to fit... Try turning the pipes a little to change the angle.. I finally got it to sit perfectly... I ended up having to do it all over again when I got my new core because the one they sent me was OVERKILL.. Here's some pics before the new core.. You'll see what I mean by overkill lol I couldn't even get my grill on lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/Warlordzpb/Legacy%20GT/IMAG0047.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/Warlordzpb/Legacy%20GT/Part11.jpg Oh and it's fits with an SPT Intake BTW....

Spec B Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That is one big core... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
executor485 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 and thats the reason I went with the smaller core... If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Also, you will need to cut off the mounting brackets, they just get in the way. One thing I did was bring the pipe in the wheelwell up more in the engine bay, this gives you a little more room for the bumper to fit. I too did my install twice..after taking it apart and playing with the piping on that passenger side, the bumper slid in perfectly with no rubbing.

RShaw Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ha they snt me that core too. I don't know why they even sell something that big. It would NEVER fit. I guess I'll just keep messing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rurouni_x Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 yeah I have a 12'in it will fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNPaparazzi Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 How?!? The only way I figured it would fit is by hacking up the back half of my grill and that was not happening... I don't even know why the hell the sent me that core, it wasn't even the one described or even in the picture.. I ended up getting a new SMALLER core and selling that one anyway... To a subie owner on top of it lol.. I figured I'd find a DSMer to snatch that one up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rurouni_x Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 its like a really small parking spot you think it'll never fit but then you fold in your side mirrors and slide in nice and easy, its a tight fit but it'll go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RShaw Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 another thing i'm trying to figure out, is a better solution for the fuel lines. I dont like having them sit right on top or below the pipe. There is to much tension, and i don't want them to rub through. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstar Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Any hoses mine was rubbing on I fixed by taking some 1/2" heater hose, slicing it down the middle, then wrapping it around the hose. Secure with some zip ties and you are protected. I did this on my fuel lines and on the brake lines as my hot side pipes are precariously close 'em, though I used 1/4" vacuum line on those.

RShaw Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Someone else suggested that to me too. Its a good idea, it just doesnt help the tension problem. Im just worried the fittings might start leaking or a hard line might crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
