Default To crankcase breather setup or not to?

Ive been doing some reading and all of the searches have got me really confused about crankcase breather setups.

I have a b18c all stock internals with a greddy 18g turbo setup, also stock with 550cc injectors on a hondata s300v3. Im not going for the biggest hp in town and going for a conservative tune.

Would setting up a crankcase breather help the engine in any way or am i fine with oem PCV setup?

Releasing the crankcase pressure will always benefit. Minimal ditch the Pcv and vent that to a can or atmosphere

Biggest HP in town, oh a conservative tune, and stock internals? you might want to add some modifiers to your goals before you disappoint yourself.

Definitely do it. It's one of those things that there's no reason NOT to do it.

Big hp, blingage, fastest lap times arent my goals.

A fun, healthy, turbocharged car was my only goal. This is one of those "do it right the first time" events in my life.

I have all necessary parts for the block and 2 breather cans. Now for the hoses. Again i dont care for overkill and expensive braided lines. What size is suitable from block to breather can, and can handle the emissions vapors and heat without collapsing?

I can weld you up some bungs for the back of your block and you can just run 2 -10 lines to the catch can.

Thats how my setup is

B20v
18g turbo

Thanks for the offer, really appreciate it. I'm going with a really basic setup. OEM block breather fittings, hose to breather.

I found suitable hoses now where to mount this thing is another story. I'll figure it out. Thanks for the feedback, guys!

The oem fittings suck up oil really bad.
