HKS bov

[nemasis]

HI was wanting to make some modifications to my mazada speed. Does anyone have any pictures of the HKS bov installed?

I don't have pictures but I'll let you know this. ALL OF THE PLASTIC PIPING MUST BE REPLACED in order for it to work. But once it's on it sounds awesome. It's only like two pipes I switched out though. Your basically replacing that teeny tiny BOV and hose. And if you put a better intake it gets even louder. Dopeness. I'll see if I can borrow my friends' digi cam and get pics though.

Now why would you have to replace all the piping? Just the pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body. and even then you dont have to, you could make an adapter, and you could also recirculate it if you buy the kit

When I started running more power out of my car the pipes started to show some warping cause of the heat produced. At first I just cut and modded the pipes to replace hose and line where the original BOV was and installed the T-adapter with flange there for the HKS BOV, pretty easy and everything seemed fine. But a week later I went to check my oil and I noticed the pipes started to show some warping so I went to a buddy of mine to get chrome finished pipes. I know this sounds a bit much but if your going to get things done you got to do it right. Cause of this my car sounds and runs better. Also while I was at it I installed a bigger front mount intercooler with the new piping that was installed. When you get the HKS SSQ BOV the T-Flange adapter's pipe diameter is almost as big as the piping, and that was the smallest I cound get. Just do it right is all I ask. Like a good hair plug transplant "You'll be happy with the results."

Sazabi: Do you have pictures of the front mount setup? What's the dimensions and pipe size that you used?
