HI ALL! as I stated Im a newbie with an evo so don't throw jargon and the like at me if you can

Im in New Zealand, and I just got a evo IV..(I KNOW I KNOW!! but I love it and I love evos so why not!?)

Anyway I have been searching and searching for information on what kind of effect putting a VTA (Vent to atmosphere) blow off valve on my evo when there is currently a recirculation unit in there. I dont know if you guys know much about a 97 evo IV but It would be a BIG help.

I know that it gets plumbed back into the intake before the turbo after the Filter and Air flow meter. DOes it have to be recirculated??? it if isnt will my cumputer automatically adjust the fuel? is it even that big of a deal? Ive heard that it helps the turbo keep spinning therefore keep the boost higher while shifting. Also that if it wasnt recirculated my engine would run rich because Im not shoving that extra air back into the exhaust....

ANY help at all would be GREAT!!

 

I think you answered your own question.

 

So what do ya think...just get another recirc?

 

does it affect the performance at all? like play the any sensors??

 

ya get another Recirc.. I have a APS bov.. love it

 

is there any recircs that make noise? I know there are some adjusable BOVs but if I recirc it will always be quiet right?
Nothing like scaring little kids on the crossing

 

Please don't mess up your awesome IV by trying to be a riceboy and add a BOV for noise. That's a heinous thing to do such an incredible car.

It has to recirculate, and it's not made for making noise.

 

yeah I was thinking that, even just the way the car looks gets heads turning. I was more wondering what it does to the car when venting to atmosphere. and also...I see this acronym MAF heaps....whats that? hahaha NOOOOOBIE!!

 

I saw a couple posts sayin you were being "mean" warrtalon. But really youre the only straight up guy Ive seen settin newbies straight hahaha. I think I have all my answers..thanx

 

MAF = Mass Air Flow (Mass air flow sensor connected to the intake filter/airbox that meters the incoming air).

 

And for the love of god, there is a website called acronym.com for all of your confusion needs if you don't like to search.

 

Why thank you for that wise remark I just thought that maybe there are people on here that know and are willing to let someone that doesnt know...know. Maybe because its a forum who knows...but thanx

 

please dont VTA...just get recirc and be happy with your smooth idle and good car. Dont mess it up just for a noise

 

I second that.....

 

i am just wondering if you put a hks ss bov with a recirc kit in a evoIXmr would it make the same noise that hks vta ssbov produce? whats the diff sorry guys a newbie here.
