I don't want to do a catch can just yet.

would it work alright if I tapped my filter and ran the hose straight to there? should function just like stock that way right? since that end is not pressurized.

 

EGR? The thing that runs from the cyl #4 through the head to the intake manifold?

 

sounds good, but then there would be hot air coming from the EGR. Not much hot air but its still hot.

 

crankcase ventilator hose thingie

 

Ahh not exhaust gas recirculation (I think??)

 

EGR = Exh gas recirculation

b-series dohc vtec motors dont have an EGR

 

ok...forgive my oversight...

allow me to rephrase.

What do I do with the hose coming off of the valve cover.

 

Dude, you mean PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) not EGR.

You may run into problems doing it that way. A stragith tap will cause a vacuum and you will suck oil vapor into the turbo vs. the right way where air goes into the valve cover and out the accumulator on the back of the block.

If you want a temp fix, just use a little filter on the valve-cover. Its not the best but it will work.

so what other options are there, besides the filter, and the catchcan?

 

Catchcan is really the best.
Filter is a temp fix and may back-up oil into it.
You can run the hose down to the ground and put a small filter on it.
You can install it like you suggest except make sure the tube is slash-cut and facing the intake flow. That will induce a positive pressure vs. a negative pressure. The bad news is depending on tube length and air velocity you may add too much pressure to the crankcase and cause excessive oil burning through the pcv.

Basically, if you are FI you gotta go catch can.

Damn...on my old set up..I just had a check valve on the end of a hose
worked fine for over a year though...I was just looking to find a better way.
