quick question, can you have a blowoff valve recirculate its pressure without an intercooler?

my assumptions is yes, but i also heard you cant. so im lookin for a straight answer.

 

yes, why wouldnt you be able to?

 

Yes, of course. Recirc'ing the pressure has nothing to do with an intercooler.

My friend's DSM is running a recirculated line without an intercooler, temporarily... but he isn't too bright to begin with, we won't get in to that.

 

i knew it.. this dope told me you couldnt, im still not 100% familiar with turbo setups, so therefore i didnt want to open my mouth and look like a fool.

 

Don't worry about it, everyone needs time to learn. Don't believe everything you are told, esp. on a web board... unless told by an experienced person.

A recirc. system is dependant on the fuel injection system, which I won't get in to... unless you ask. More simply, Honda speed-density systems don't matter in this case.

 

so wait, it's a closed system right, so we're saying that there will be two different pressures in the same closed system???

Weird.

Well, it depends on how you look at it. In a Honda style (or any other) speed/density computer, you really don't have two different pressures at the same time. In any system that uses an air flow meter/mass air flow sensor etc., you incur other problems, but that doesn't really matter here.
