LoL MichelM!

i had TRD shocks with OMP lowering springs and my ride was harsher than your GAB coilovers!

I must say the GAB really suprised me, in a good way, and with coilovers you will always have to sacrifice ridecomfort for better handling.

Must say for daily use a set of propper springs+shocks does the work just fine!

But really get a good balanced set, the springrate of the OMP springs was crazy cause there was no way to drive over a bad road without breaking your back.

like yea

congrats mate, sure is one great looking V!!!

The pcv valve only opens when there is a vacuum in you inletmanifold.

So you will have to gut it or hook it back up to your inletmanifold!!!

if you do hook it back up you must tak ein consideration that you catch can will be under pressure when you come on boost!

So actually you would have to hook up a pcv valve between your catch can and your inletmanifold!!!

BUMPING this

read post below

looking good!

replacing stock seats completly changes the driving experience!

me 2

i have a breather on the other vent cause i have a FMIC.

But its gets oily and even sprays minute oil on the rocker cover, so i ordered a oil catch can for that vent. For now i am leaving the pcv as it is.

First of lets get somethings clear. (Got info from Wiki, correct me if i am wrong)

What is a pcv valve?

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve.

What does it do?

Its a one-way valve that assists with the continual evacuation of gases from inside a gasoline/petrol internal combustion engine's crankcase.

What?

As an engine operates, high-pressure gases are contained within the combustion chamber and prevented from passing into the crankcase (containing the crankshaft and other parts) between the side of the piston and the cylinder bore by piston rings which seal against the cylinder. However, some amount of gas always leaks past the piston rings into the crankcase. This amount is very small in a new or properly rebuilt engine, provided that the piston rings and cylinder walls are correctly "broken in", and increases as the engine wears. Scratches on the cylinder walls or piston rings, such as those caused by foreign objects entering the engine, can cause large amounts of leakage. This leaked gas is known as blow-by because the pressure within the cylinders blows it by the piston rings. If this blow-by gas could not escape then pressure would build up within the crankcase.

How does it work?

The system relies on the fact that, while the engine is running, the intake manifold's air pressure is always less than crankcase air pressure. The lower pressure of the intake manifold draws air towards it, pulling air from the breather through the crankcase (where it dilutes and mixes with combustion gases), through the PCV valve, and into the intake manifold.

The valve is simple, but actually performs a complicated control function. An internal restrictor (generally a cone or ball) is held in "normal" (engine off, zero vacuum) position with a light spring, exposing the full size of the PCV opening to the intake manifold. With the engine running, the tapered end of the cone is drawn towards the opening in the PCV valve, restricting the opening proportionate to the level of engine vacuum vs. spring tension. At idle, the intake manifold vacuum is near maximum. It is at this time the least amount of blow by is actually occurring, so the PCV valve provides the largest amount of (but not complete) restriction. As engine load increases, vacuum on the valve decreases proportionally and blow by increases proportionally. With a lower level of vacuum, the spring returns the cone to the "open" position to allow more air flow.

At full throttle, there is nearly zero vacuum. Should the intake manifold's pressure be higher than that of the crankcase (which can happen in a turbocharged engine), the PCV valve closes to prevent reversal of the exhausted air back into the crankcase again. At this point the PCV valve is nearly useless, and most combustion gases escape via the "breather tube" where they are then drawn in to the engine's intake manifold anyway.

Conclusion

So if you are going to connect the tubing back onto the intake manifold you need a PCV valve connected or you will be pushing air back into the crank case. If you are going to let the system breath freely than you do not need an PCV valve.

Options:

So if you look at the pictures in the opening post:

First picture seems to be connected wrong as both breather pipes are hooked up to the catch can, this means the gasses can't be vented in any way at all!

Second and third picture seem to be correct, but are not your only option. They have used the method in the second layout in my picture.

You can also hook it up like the third method i have shown. This has other positive effects:

The oil, moisture and blow-by gasses do not get pushed back into the intake system and engine. They cause carbon, sludge build-up and hot air.

if it spikes(the boost) couldn't it be down to a worn out actuator?

some nice updates man, i gotta grab a ride so i hear that hks go off!

Havent posted here yet, but Micky you already know what i think of this car

great job on the polishing looks really good

bump..

anybody?

thnx for hte fast reply Rick, kind of comforting to hear that.

what about the part that when i push the throttle it doesn't blow anymore?

i would think that if it were the piston rings it would only build up more pressure as the pistons move faster.

or is that wrong to think that?

hi guys, i just read all the info i could find and i really want your opions on this.

I've got a breather filter in place and my pcv valve where it should be.

i noticed my breather filter got really oily so i pulled i off while the engine was running and it is blowing huge amounts of air out....

2 possible options i guess:

pcv valve of piston rings... (really hope its pcv)

the thing is when I throttle a bit it stops blowing air out the vent(where i have a breather filter)

does that clearly point the problem to a faulty pcv or does that surely mean the piston rings are fucked?

thanks for all the replies guys!

will check

the buttons on the door

the rivets on the light unit

the entire light unit .

;)

when i open the door it doesnt come on, bulb replaced but still no light, is there a fuse for it or something?

thanks.

thanks guys!

lol @ glanza_cl i found that micra to but was to horrified to post it here

The quality of these clips is sick, and its nice to see some recent JDM clips of glanza's,

really gives you an idea on how they style there glanza over in japan at the moment.

here some for the ep82 peeps:

1994 test part 1

1994 test part 2

Few EP91's on rollers:

check out the rear lights on some

so She points to a car and they can take it, that she gives consent to let them take the car doesnt mean they are allowed to.

and its pretty messed up she even said that....

thats just unbelieveble, to be honest i would ave let them call the coppers.

No way in HELL someone is touching my car because some other person has debts!

Its not an adress(house) that can have debt, there is always 1 persons name under a contract who is responsible for all payments etc. If that is not you than they can go f*ck themselves.

Get your glanza back asap!

and teach them a lesson like Nayls said.

GOOD LUCK WITH IT!!

for what aplication mate?

fixed, sorry bout that

Integra Type R chasing a Glanza

never seen it before but i thought it was good enough to share

that look in your eyes...

Congrats mate!!
