non-recirculated to recirculated BOV

[Shnizzle]

Alright so upon recent discovery, i realized my BOV isn't recirculated. pretty flamboyant right?

Anyways im tired of my car sneezing every time i finish accelerating so im going to hook it up, the problem is, my cold air intake doesnt have a fitting for it.

So here is my question: how can i hook it up to my metal CAI? Ive never welded before but i could see that to be the easiest way. any other methods? id like to keep price in mind here

how about drilling a hole and fitting in a piece of pvc piping , Then just seal it with jb weld.

I read someone did that a while back.

Another alternative could be a GM maft to vent and have no ill effects.

thats definitely one way to do it. I guess thats a good Plan B if nothing else turns up. Also i wont get the translator because the bov noise is too loud to me.

Use fiberglass and make a new intake with fitting for BOV. Will cost you about $20 in resin/hardener (for quart), about $5 for fiberglass mat, and some for pieces of pipe for the ends. Or use fiberglass instead of JBWeld for the other idea, that way it will look like a collar over the intake with BOV tube fitting instead of a glob of JBWeld.

Or buy a 1g intake pipe with the recirculation part and sell yours. I saw one on ebay earlier for like $45 I think.

Heck, for $40 I'll send him one!

It's hard to ship something that awkward for cheap. $20 would leave zero profit for most.

what material is the intake that you have installed now? If it is aluminum just get a piece of pipe welded to it. You could also try drilling and partially tapping it but most pipes won't be thick enough but you might get lucky.

understandably, but im just gonna mod my current ALLUMINUM one thanks anyways man

Get a short section of aluminum tube (most likely be charged scrap price at a metal yard) the same diameter as your bov outlet, take the tube (like 3" long piece) and cut it in half at a 90* angle, then get the appropriate size hole saw or any way necessary to cut a hole in the intake. Then have a welder weld the two pieces in an L and weld it on the intake with a rubber tube between... by then you could buy a new intake like already stated...

That's the correct way of doing it...

What bov do you have anyway, is it a bell style outlet or recirculating style?

I have a friend who can weld it for me to save that $$$

And I have the stock 1g bov (crushed)

Well, if you've got a buddy to weld it up the do it the right way don't f around with jb weld and other things that are prone to cracking or coming loose over time. It would cost you $5 in aluminum and maybe a hole saw... or drill it 1/2" and dremel the rest?
