Divert Crankcase pressure?
So i have a lot of crankcase pressure coming out of my valve cover due to large ring gaps. Can you guys give me some ideas of where to divert these gases to? I dont like it when im at a stop and i can smell exhaust gases in my car. also random people tell me that my car is over heating. im currently boosting 8 psi, but i should be back to 15psi once i get a new boost controller.

you mean blowby gasses? the right fix for that is get it overhauled. get proper ring gaps probably at around 14-16 thousands.
the smoke the comes out of the vc breather can either be blowby gasses or overheating. like burnt oil.

mine smells pretty bad too and it pisses me off, I have an open catch can on the firewall, and yeah the heater just sucks it right up through the crowl. Just need to route that bitch back into the IM, id rather have a dirty intake than keep on huffin on blow by.

Re: Divert Crankcase pressure?
plumbing your catch can back into your intake kinda defeats the purpose of having it. you will just pressurize the crankcase through the can and hoses...If you guys really are that bothered by the smell, then use a venturi valve. Jegs sells a v8 kit for like 30$. It welds into your exhaust and it pulls a vacuum, so if you attach it to your catch can to it, it will pull a vacuum and vent the smells out the tail pipe.
