Apexi Super Suction Intake Kit for S13 - BOV Installation?

Does anyone have a picture of this intake installed properly? I can't figure out a nice way to connect the BOV to it, because the BOV inlet is underneath the intake pipe!?? My BOV is in the middle of the hot pipe - typical location.

Something like this:

why would you put a bov on the intake side of the turbo.

[FRoSt415]

i dnt understand both are unrelated except for the fact that they are both aluminum pipes and it is in ur engine bay. Whats your dilemma is it to clutter some? How about a picture of your engine bay or a better describtion of what you are trying to acheive and we can help you out.

for recirc idiot.

Ragnarok-
A blow off valve will release pressure to the air, while the bypass valve will release the pressure into the intake system between the turbo and AFM.

Keith-
No pic of it installed. Post a pic of what you have done or attempted to do, please.

I cannot understand exactly what you're asking. Do you mean you dont know how to get the inlet hose to the valve because there is no room? I think the inlet is supposed to be sticking upward. POST PICS of your engine bay / where you installed the pressure release valve.

s13silvia123 That is not the Apexi intake, is it?

Here is mine, the red dots are where I need to connect them together:

your wasting your time

[PinkPanther]

c-shaped hose and an adapter because the pipe diameters aren't similar. done.

[KeithDigital]

fakeshemp - what do you mean I am wasting my time? These people seem like they know what they are talking about.

PinkPanther - You are correct they are different diameters. BOV is like 1.25" and Intake BOV connection is just a little larger then 1". Where could I get a c-shaped hose and adapter?

By the way, why did Apexi design this pipe like this?? They should have made it like s13silvia123 posted.

[PinkPanther]

go to an autoparts store..they should be able to find something that will work for you as long as you measure the diameters and tell them what you need. The intake is designed that way because of the stock recirc valve return location.

[PinkPanther]

As far as an adapter...just be creative. anything will work as long as you make sure it wont leak. You counld put a 1'' hose around the length of the apexi intake inlet and then slip the larger diameter hose over that and hose clamp it. like i said make sure it wont leak and make it look clean. clean things work better.

[KeithDigital]

Thanks PinkPanther - I'll was thinking about using a radiator hose that has the C shape that I need.

However I do think a different intake pipe would be cleaner. Anyone know where to get a design like the one posted by s13silva123? All I find is Greddy and Apexi units that are around $300+

because its identical to the stock one.

[KeithDigital]

Ahh... see that's what I get for buying a modified car. I never knew what the stock setup looked like.

[onehundredoctane]

your just wasting your time with this set up, what added benefit is there? none.

[tt99ol]

the added benefit is the fact that the for the type rs or s or whatever that thing is to actually work well the spring needs to be set rather soft so it sits slightly open at idle which = airleak at idle
airleak =maf=crappyidle and stalling when coming off rev

personally i would just ditch the bov and cap off the recirc pipe cuz bov's are lame
or just buy the atp turbo antistall valve then run it atmospheric

[240cracker]

^^^

bov lame?
u crazyyyy

i have a suction kit but i wouldnt even think about doing it that way i put the bov on the other side.

its forsale by the way ;)

[XenoVibe]

well im glad you got shit figured out :rofl:
