Default Is this Setup ok?

I have a boosted integra and i went to install my catch can today. The problem is one of the plugs on the back of the motor is stripped out and i can not get it loose. I went ahead and connected everything else and just capped off the second port on the catch can. My setup is only running 260hp. Is this alright or do i absolutely need that second line connected? thanks

if you cant get the second port out what I would do in your case is tap two fittings into your valve cover and run them to the top two ports on the catch can and use the one in the back of the block as the return. what catch can do you have?

If it is threaded all you need to do is go to lowes, home depot, ect. and get fittings for it. if you only run just the one line in the back of your block the catch can set-up wont serve its purpose as well. your better off to tap into the valve cover and run a separate return line anyways. its more efficient that way. hope this helps

This setup is made for a dohc. Ijust purchased it brand new from a very reputable shop in my area. Yes it is threaded in the bottom of the can. It came with a very nice plug and i dont really know were i would drain it to because my catch can is mounted were my charcoal canister used to be. Also if i drained it back into the motor wouldnt this introduce water and other things besides oil into my motor? Thanks

Dont know what to tell you about your very reputable shop but they sold you one for a single cam motor. the one for dual cam motors dont come with plugs but a t tap to run the return line from the bottom of the can. if you need more prof than me telling you here is a direct link to endyn's catch can http://theoldone.com/components/breather/
