Default Help fitting recirc D/V with FMIC ?

Im going to remove my HKS ssq blow off valve cos I really dont like it !!

Have any of you got FMIC with D/V ? If so,how is it fitted ? Pics would be really helpful. I have hard pipes with my FMIC.

What recirc D/V should I go for ? I have a '96 wrx running 1.4 bar.

I have a Harvey Hybrid FMIC on my classic Sti v3.
I am using the stock DV, stock position (close to the fuel filter) and the hard pipe supplied by Harvey has a 38mm (iirc) tube welded into the large feed pipe that runs from the cold side of the FMIC to the inlet manifold throttle body.

The hard pipe and the DV are connected by a tight samco elbow.

Simple and job is done. Works perfectly and gives a descreet 'whoosh' whisper on hard gearchanging because of the cone filter.
I'm at work now, but if you wish I can take a few pics this evening for you and post on here?

On a MY95

Using a MY97/8 Forge recirc I needed:
Samco 35mm elbow
Samco 35mm to 25mm straight reducer
Approx 400mm of 25mm pipe



I use the weakest spring possible with the Forge

P.S engine bay a bit tidier now!

Jay m A: In your photo,the samco hose that is coming from the D/V towards the bottom of the photo,does that enter the air intake hose that goes to the turbo ??

You can get a recirculating kit for the hks, its just an adaptor fitted on the end. I bought a used one off a sn member a few years ago. Not 100% sure if they are still avaible?

Yes, at the place where the OE DV locates
