Yes, it's the same and will bolt right up. By the way deschnes2006, can you look around canada and see if any salvage yards have a RDX canadian gauge cluster? KM..Originally Posted by deschnes2006

I'm going with either a 9psi spring or 7psi spring. I'm getting a little flutter dump with the 11psi at low rpm; however at high boost high rpm it opens good.

ya haha.. thats what i said.. full recirc.. if you had it doing atmosphere there would be another opening.. i was thinking one that does that.. so now im really curious on how it sounds.. specially with the intake
This is just a little vid of what the current BOV sounded like, the 11psi spring is to stiff. I ordered a 9 and 7psi spring to see if it helps with the fluttering.

yes, I'll watch, but used parts are rare for Acura, even for our el 2005 is difficult. I know you yours if I find something.

Hey Ken, I've been following your posts around, thanks a lot taking the time to share with us!
Off topic real quick, what intake are you using? Thanks!

It's just a custom 3 inch pipe with a 8 inch K&N filter on it. That setup requires relocating the battery.

i never noticed you changed out your return hose like from the bov back to the intake.. what kind of hosing did you use? been thinking of changing out that plastic one since it has a resonator box with it too..
second question have you noticed a difference in the boost pressure when changing through gears now that you changed out the BOV? some people say they can feel a difference others say there is no change was curious on your thoughts since you have way more done then me

I just have a 90 degree coupler T-clamps, s shaped pipe (on page 1 of the build). With all the stuff I have done I wouldn't feel much. The BOV looks and sounds better IMO.

the new spring help you? any new video of sound if it did? curious on if there was a change
Ok, before I got a lot of fluttering so I changed the spring several times and landed on 7 psi and it still flutter. Now, I put the vacuum line straight off the intake manifold and it worked just like stock but with TiAL twist. Now, I'm going to see what the recommended spring does (11psi for Honda and Acura vacuum).

Yes, I have a vacuum manifold which is running off the adapter plate from PRL that is supporting the brake booster, fuel pressure regulator, and water/meth. The BOV is hook directly to the manifold.Originally Posted by bluecarbonfiber

richard cranium
car sounds great! pulls nice with good acceleration. did you have the sh-awd setup or running fwd ( heard tire chirp). darn good for running 13 psi. also what's your redline ?

Absolutely loving it. I apologize if I'm asking for a lot but do you happen to have a video from the outside? Thanks!

Ken i need the link for the bov flange. I just bought one of these NGR type-s's. I love the whistle they make.

video..
It will take 30psi so no worries of leaks.

I'm running just an S shaped pipe like this one.

You will need to find coupler like this to complete the install. You need to measure your BOV to know what the size to get. (Example: ?-to-1.5 BOV end and 1.5-to-1.25 to the intake end.)
