patman Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hello guys just a question please, I have a race spec rocker cover on, with catch can venting to atmosphere, can I route a line back to the intake on the inlet manifold or do I need a pcv on somewhere inbetween, reason being for this.1) smell coming in cabin2) being so cold, catch can gets water in it and smells.3) filters do get clogged over time.So need to try a better option then having to keep checking it all the time.Thankyou Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 you can the hose will have to go between airfilter and turbo inlet the turbo will suck al the vapours back in the engine with no bay smells unless you have a gasket leak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 could you fit a one way valve if you wanted it on the inlet manifold/after the turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 could you fit a one way valve if you wanted it on the inlet manifold/after the turbo? wont be big enough valve to vent back in the whole catch tank setup is wasted then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) you can the hose will have to go between airfilter and turbo inlet the turbo will suck al the vapours back in the engine with no bay smells unless you have a gasket leak Can't see no leaks any where Colin mate, at first I thought it could of been HG, it's freezing cold here at the moment and doing research the catch can will get water in it from condensation so of course when engine gets up to temp the catch can is letting out steam, and getting that creamy stuff inbetween the catch can inlet and outlet,So if I put a hose between the airfilter and turbo inlet have you got a pic of where I'm putting the hose to, please mate, also will add I also got a relocation airfilter to behind the grille 👍🏻 Thanks guys Edited January 23, 2017 by patman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 have no pictures as i am still gathering parts i like for it so airfilter in bumper >> silicon joiner >> section of metal pipe ( tap into this ) >>> silicon joiner >> turbo inlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patman Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Daniel thankyou so much for the link fantastic find, this would make a lot of sense, and thankyou for suggesting it Colin, this way you won't get any crap going back through the engine 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I remember seeing it a while ago and quite liking the idea because its a bit different to the norm.Theres a lot of debate on how and where to run the lines, some ways just create pressure in the tank.Running it that way would draw vapour back out into the induction again. Although can see this also being a debatable way of doing things with regards to engine / turbo longevity.Because all that crankcase gas which has managed to escape the engine is now getting drawn back in and mixed with the clean induction air.Any engine builders on here wanna say what they would reccommend?

5e colin Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 does not harm engine in any way the turbo helps suck out gasses faster and al air does not al go back as back pressure only some ( the usual amount ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Im not slating the idea i actually like it but you are 100% gonna get oil vapour into the turbine wheel / intercooler pipes and core, right upto the throttle body and inlet.Its not the end of the world but its fact Colin mate.

patman Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sorry to sound stupid guys, there's me thinking the oil vapour would only go through the turbo then straight out, not going back through the intercooler pipe inlet/throttle body, seing as the pcv setup would do that but not the way on the video if that makes sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 you gonna get oil in the intercooler and piping etc from weaping oil seal on the turbo anyway yes pat the air from catchtank will go back true engine it gets sucked in by the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well if that's the case Colin I'm going to put a standard 4efte rocker cover back on with pvc valve to catch can, then catch can to inlet probably the easier way to do it, stop all the smells etc, back to the standard way 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
