I was searching this morning to see if anyone has ever done this before. I came accross 1 post where a guy had this SAME idea, but someone flamed him and said, you should've bought a type H....
ANYWAY. This is for people who bought the RFL a long time ago, liking it for the sound, and now wishing they would've bought a BOV that would recirculate.
Here's what i did, and i will post some pics up later.
I am asuming that you got the 2g adapter kit from Turbo XS with your BOV.
1. See that big horn thing on the front of the BOV? We're gonna get rid of that..
2. Look on the side of the BOV for a small HEX set screw that holds the horn in place.
3. Remove that screw with a STANDARD size hex wrench. Its not metric...
4. Now that the screw is removed, you can unscrew the horn. It IS LOCTITED on there, so its pretty hard to remove. I put the horn part in a vise, and twisted the BOV body, and it worked great.
5. In the adapter kit that you have, there will be extra "flanges" or "adapters." One of those will fit nicely into the Horn hole, and will damn near thread itself. I used some JB KWIK around it to make sure it sealed, and was not going to go anywhere.
That's pretty much it. Now your RFL can be recirculated. As for the tube, i found that the factory dump tube did not work well. So, i used a piece of a radiator hose off of an Integra, and that worked well.
Car runs much smoother when shifting, and under part throttle boost!
Good luck.
Pics are coming soon.
