i bought a tyrp rs bov a couple months ago when they first came out to get rid of my blitz bov. i was venting to atm. with the blitz of course. after i bought the rs i found out they didnt make a recir. kit for it yet, and i got tired of wating on one, so i made one. it would actually be hard for most ppl on here to do it unless they have some type of ability to do machine work, but ive been reading a lot of threads about recir. kits for these bov's so i just thought i would let everyone know how i made mine. the pipe is 1" so i figured i could just find a piece of pipe at lowes or home depot that would work. WRONG!! i took a 1" piece of solid T6 aluminum stock about 3" long and went to work with it. i boared it out to 3/16" thick walls. then i had to cut threads on the end. i took the little blue end piece that came with the rs off to guage by. the threads are 34mm for anyone wanting to do this. after i cut the threads i made a step at the end of the threads for a stop so that when i screw this pipe into the bov it stops onto this step. u can then just cut the pipe off at whatever length u need it and take a piece of radiator hose to recirculate it.
after i got the piece done i put a small rag around a drill bit and shoved it into the piece of pipe i had just made. this allowed me to spin the pipe with a cordless drill. i spun it and held a piece of professional abrasive cloth around the outside of the step on the pipe. this took all the machining lines out of the piece. then i did the same thing with 80 grit sandpaper instead of the abrasive cloth. i went down to about 220 grit on the sandpaper. when i was done with this the piece was completely smooth. then i polished it out with rubbing compound.
anyone that has one of these bov's and is interested in doing this, if u dont have the ability to do any machining, take the small blue insert in the bov to a machine shop and they will prolly make u a pipe like mine. u can then polish it urself if u want to. but im sure it would be expensive having that made.
well i hope this helps anyone who has been waiting like i have for this recirculation kit to come out. if i left anything out and anyone has questions just ask. ill be glad to help anyone out on this.
