I cant run mine in recirc, because i still dont have an intake. So heads up, it hits the stock airbox. Sounds good in VTA though!

I have the first gen, and it runs fine. What kind of info would you like?

Are you getting any CEL's for being to rich?

i have mine VTA and my car runs perfectly fine, no exhaust pops, no difference in gas mileage no nothing and its sounds great. i also have an injec CAI.

I've noticed that this has been visited many times on this forum, im 25 and have been driving turbo Japanese cars since i've been 12 (im from the caribbean). EVERY factory turbo car runs a bpv. skylines, gtir's, evo's even the american powerhouse srt4's integrated bov recirculates the air back into the intake system. An all of these cars modded run VTA. i think either the MS3 vendors are weary / owners are worried because the car runs STINKY RICH from the factory. i havent had an issue in the past 3 weeks running VTA, i dont expect to have an issue or any engine damage. Take my advice how you want, get your HKS and love the sound. btw, i also have the first gen hks.

I have been dying to run VTA but don't want to run to rich. Keep me posted as I think I am going to change it out to VTA soon. I getting a little sick of the recirc. I want to hear my whistle.

 

[GhostMercury]

sound clips would be sweet.

 

[trufanatic]

[GhostMercury]

[Nutari]

im going to post this and I dont want to hear any crap about my choice of music.

I actually made the video to show off the exhaust sound on the first part, and the driving down a winding mountain road for the second part.

Nah no cels, i do however get pops and backfires. No stumbling. Running too rich runs no risk of damage, quite the opposite. It does however leave your tail pipe blacker than normal. Cant wait for my CPE, should clear up the problems with the popping.

this is with my HKS VTA. On the pass you can hear it.

 

[knowledge007]

well I have the TBE and the CAI from CPE, and I threw a code for being to rich without the ems. I don't have the ems on now, but would like to go to vta??

I'm sorry but I must correct something. The part in bold about your post is simply wrong. If you want to test it run your car extremely rich and see how long your piston rings last. I've tosted three SR20DET's and can assure you running rich is no way in hell SAFE.

Why else do you think it will throw a code if your running rich?

Also, I know most people don't care, you will lose power and fuel economy running extra rich.

ps: I love the sound of VTA bov's and I had an old style SSQV on my 97 240sx.
