Recirculation Kit for a HKS Dump Valve
 
As title, any help would be appreciated. I currently have it VTA, but want to plumb it back, and I beieve it possible to either buy a kit or DIY with some 1.25" hose.

Has anyone done this? I would be very interested to know how, the Whooosh psssst just isnt my cup of tea that VTA's do, and the flat spot that it creates occasioanly is also annoying.

Thanks in advance
Rob

I have taken my hks ssv off after a week of having the car and picked up a standard re-circ valve for £15 and the car is so much smoother to drive.for what a kit would cost just get a standard one and sell your hks on

look on ebay for either a classic scoob recirc as these are not flange mounted or standard evo recirc. i have an evo recirc on mine without any problems.(MY03 wrx with FMIC)

I think this will do the job, I just need to measure the bore of the return pipe

Hiya mate, thanks for the reply.

Well I have bought the said eBay item after taking the HKS off today to confrim that it does come apart and that it ca be converted, well it looks very striaght forward. So the Insert should be here on Wednesday so I will get it fitted, and in the meantime I have been looking at some 1 1/4" silicon pipe to retun it back, but after talking with a neighbour he said he may have some at work which is 33mm :D.

So for others wanting to do the same I will give my thorough findings once installed as there appears to no evidence of this being done on here, or at least no write up.

Update, I bought the adapter from HKS via eBay. Its a 2min job to install, then I bough a length of 30mm pipe to recirculate, and installed, took 10mins and it works a treat ;)
