Did i hook up the Oil catch can right?
 
not sure if i did it right. I dont see any oil going through the PCV tube into the catch can.

from the factory, the vaccum in the intake pulls the blowby out of the valve cover.
u have nothing pulling, just 2 pressurized ports that are hooked up to a filter

this will work, but i would do a search and read up on it, plenty of times this has been talked about.

That what i thought actually. what would be the right way?

hustler 07-26-2009 05:48 PM

yank the valve on the cold side. Less restriction = nguyen

Rushin 07-26-2009 06:04 PM

so whats the right way to hook this up?

The way you have it without the valve. Anyone who tells you to pull vacuum off the motor wants you to fail with detonation. In a daily driver turbo car, you're fine, in a track toy you're going to detonate.

Rushin 07-26-2009 08:12 PM

So, do I just remove the valve and route the tube right into the catch can? Should I keep the intake plug capped like I have it now?

hustler 07-26-2009 08:42 PM

yes, the one-way valve is unnecessary. If you're not popping the dipstick out, then don't worry about it.

lulz.......ricer.

Having no idea what the breather/PCV does = fail. They're designed the way they are for a reason.

Rushin 07-26-2009 10:35 PM

I know how what the valve does. That's why I want to figure how to make the whole thing work better. I think I have lots of blowby so I added a catch can. Can someone just tell me what's the best set up with a catch can?

Get on a racetrack some time and you'll see that you need more flow than the 1/2" port on the valve cover when in boost.

Rushin 07-26-2009 11:32 PM

so no help then. I thought you guys know your stuff here. And no one can tell me how to properly hook up a catch can?

Rushin 07-26-2009 11:49 PM

will this set up work? or will i have a vacuum leak where the breather is on the catch can?

I just told you how to hook it up 3 fucking times, what is your fucking problem? Run each port to the fucking catch can, and shut the fuck up. Please, kill yourself.

Honestly I can't say. I do believe there will be a leak from the manifold hose though. I will let others step in.

Edit: nvm, already did.

Rushin 07-27-2009 12:22 AM

So isn't it a problem with a stock set up and a turbo? I mean when there is positive pressure in the intake it is not letting the pcv to open? so the best way would be to get rid of the pcv, run the hose from the left side of the cam cover into the catch can and same with the right side? Whats the best way to get rid of the PCV? Just make a hole in it?

ARTech 07-27-2009 12:25 AM

^ you don't want to pressurize the crankcase, it'll blow your rear/main seals. take hustlers advice and make sure to replace the filter when clogged. The only reason to not do it that way is if you're worried about emissions

Rushin 07-27-2009 12:29 AM

ok, sprayed, i honestly cant follow anything hustler is saying. I think he thinks he is a gangster and the way he writes it unreadable to me.

which filter are you talking about? the one on the catch can?
