Just installed my synchronic BOV. I have an air filter over the recirculation fitting. For full details, please see this thread: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=122513

  • having the filter on there changes the pressure and is a terrible idea. it acts as a constant boost leak then... absolutely retarded.

  • @bikerboomer It's ironic that you're calling the BOV retarded since your comment is the only thing retarded. The car is MAP based not MAF, so it doesn't need to meter the air through the intake. Additionally the BOV seals shut when boost starts. That means anything above -10 inHg. Please read up on the Synchronic BOV before making yourself look silly. ktnx.

  • @tyrannical im not calling the BOV retarded, im calling the filter retarded. Now i did not know it was only MAP based and no longer usses a maf, so with that fact a vacuum leak wouldnt effect your fuel flow. So i guess it really does not matter, however most cars are not MAP based, so they could not use this bov.

  • @bikerboomer Ah ok - then I take that back :) MAF cars can use it. There is an "anti-stall" valve that prevents sucking in air in non boost situations.

  • @Soffex Nothing sucks about it. The gauges can be placed anywhere. I happen to have navigation system, so the usual center area is taken. There is an A piller option, but I liked it down on the steering area so you can't see anything from outside.

  • this is cool....totally and i researched what that filter did. i was gonna post sime dumb comment when, ur message popped up. lol

  • whers the speedup-o-meter?

  • i thought they only made alot of noise blowing off at higher rpms...?

    am i wrong? lol

  • @tyrannical @bikerboomer O.o Y'all make me feel dumb lol all this fancy car talk.

  • nice 10 second car :)

  • wind the boost up and it will sound better/louder

  • My friend has the grand touring version of the rx-8 without the navigation system. Nice vid though.

  • whats the 0-60 time?

  • @makana931 haha you're an idiot. Next time read more carefully what I've typed and you won't look so dumb.

    Get a valve that recirculates the air, not one that goes 'psssh' and vents it to the atmosphere, just like I said.

  • DONT listen 2 this guy A BOV is to release the pressure from the turbo when it needs it and that just so happen to be when the throttle shuts and by RECYCLING like u said puts even more pressure on the turbo and makes Turbo Surge (when the pressure forces the air back out the turbo its self) and that makes the turbo fan spin the other way which is VERY VERY VERY BAD so if u wanna fuck up your turbo and your car at the same time by all means be a fuck face and do what this guy says
