haha ok

 

i am resurrecting the topic......and this question is directed to ScionDad and the rest of the gurus......which setup is possible and works best or not?

i am not sure of the direction of flow on the right side part where it is originally connected to the intake.....hope somebody clarifies this issue.....




Set up A



Set up B

 

bump...

 

why cant we just leave that PCV valve open to the air and plug up the hole in the throttle body??? i think that is the best idea

 

setup A is the way u should do it , but the arrow on the right should face the other way . but if you have F/I then you will need to find a vac. source that will not see boost .

the reason you cant leave them open is because , over time it will cause sludge to build up in the engine . how ever that takes a long time , the other reason it is there is for emmisions . it burns the hydrocarbons instead of letting them release into the atmosphere .

 

Neither setup will work with a boosted car because you'd be pressurizing the head.

As said earlier, you need a vacuum source that does not see boost. The intake pipe (MAF pipe) is the best thing for this. Having both the PCV valve and the crank case vent going into a BAFFLED catch can, and then a 3rd port going into the intake pipe would be the best option.

 

see post below for best answer

 

ok guys check this out -- http://www.mx6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110096

We need two catch cans.. one inline with PCV and intake pipe (after MAF) and one inline with crank case vent and intake pipe (after MAF again)!!!

 

 

or you can find a catch can with dual inlets and one outlet... hehe

yeah, not sure I have seen one.

 

well you can easily make one, I can draw up a quick sketch, one sec

 

 

^ = for the baffle use a piece of steel or some other solid, the stuff at the bottom is steel wool...

 

steel wool, huh? I thought it was the junk,...or pubes.

 

pubes might work! they might get too soggy though

 

yeah, and stink real bad if they get too hot. Plus, I wouldn't want to have to round up donors...

Ok...sorry...back on topic!!

 

ok i think im going to fabricate a dual inlet one and try it out on my 97 camry to see how it works, then if anyone is really interested i can make more and sell them at parts cost

 

wait i just realized something... boost isnt on ALL the time... i mean, there is even VACUUM alot of the time on a turboed tc... so why cant the gases just go back into the intake manifold during that time??? this now seems pointless!!!
