is there a limit on the length of the ricirculating tube from the bov to the intake cause when i put on my injen intake my bov tubeing doesnt reach anymore cause im using a 1g bov on my 2g and when i try to use 1 1/4" tubeing for bov pipeing it pinchs if i make it short so i need about half a foot of extra hose to get the hose to get it to flow right.

AS of right now im running EXTREMELY rich but idle fine and pulls fine to about 5k then just almost does.. :( air / fuel guage is pinned to rich the whole time.
 
When I had my old HKS recirculating in the past I had a pretty long hose because the BOV sat higher on the IC pipe.
 
im sorry this might sound snotty but its not, that didnt answer my question i want to know if having like a 7" tube is to long to use cause i really need to have my car running like before i have it tuned right and everything
 
here's a little secret i used to replace my dump tube... use a spare radiator hose, just so happens to be 1 1/4" in dia. Worked perfectly for recirculating my 1g bov to dejon intake. That is..if you are looking for a cheap fix and have radiator hose laying around. :thumb:
 
As long as there is a good connection (no leaks) you can make it as long as you want.


For future reference, the AFR gauge doesn't show you squat.
