Filter!?
Ive been wondering this for a while now but... when I bought my FD it came with this setup piping the 2 BOV's together and then a little K&N filter on the end, why do I have a filter on my BOV's anyone know?

The stock BOVs on the Rx-7 draw air in to the engine when under vacuum. Normally BOVs only prevent air from escaping except when they need to vent like between shifts. (duh) So basically then need to be filtered unless you don't care about bugs and dust going in to your engine.

The CRV and the APV valves do very different things. The CRV, charge relief valve, vents secondary boost back into the secondary turbo between 3000 and 4500 rpm to keep the secondary turbo prespooled until the switch over point @ 4500 rpm. The APV, Air Bypass valve (commonly known in the rice circles as the blow-off valve), vents primary and secondary turbo boost when letting off of the gas. There should be a filter on the Air Bypass valve since oil does tend to shoot out of it (if you don't have the ABV connected into the stock air filter box).

Well, since this thread is dug up anyway...I noticed that on my PFS airbox, the ABV and CRV vent to the unfiltered side of the box. Hope they don't suck too much air.

I may have to take back what I said on this topic. I have been hearing different stories now... I'm going to test it for myself to learn the real truth.

I've got the Apexi Power intake as well as the non-sequential mod.
I vented my the blow off valve because it sounded good. Then, I came to my senses and re-connected it because there wasn't anything to plug up the Apexi intake. Rotaries don't really like dirt.
What do people use to plug up these 3/4-1" diameter tubes from the intake? The vacuum plugs only go up to 1/4 or 1/2 an inch. Is there a big rubber cap I can clamp? Where would I find that?
