ForgedV Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 mines venting to atmosphere underneath the car just need one more bit of hose from the pcv valve into a t-peice and into the catch tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aidanep71 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 /\ /\ /\ /\ /\that is a lot of cable ties ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Excuse the cable ties thats the only one so far that appears to be plummed in correctly if i remember correctly. @raz - forgive me if im mistakes but both your rocker breathers are connected to a catch tank which has no other breathers on it therefor its not letting any pressure out. again sorry if im wrong as im no expert lol Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cazzac2222 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I was thinking about plumbing one in the same as ForgedV is going to do Also, ive heard that with no breather, it can add to the wear or crank seals, is this correct?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianmcintoshi Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 This method will work fine as long as the pcv has been gutted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This will pressurise the crankcase which is bad news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 To be honest I think someone that knows/understands these should make a "how to plumb in your catch can" guide! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This will pressurise the crankcase which is bad news.This is what i meant, sorry for the misunderstanding lolI think ill be plumbing mine up the same as what ForgedV has just explained above, venting to atmosphere and not contaminating the inlet charge in anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
