Default Valve cover filter?? Downpipe Flex???

Vehicle: 96 Integra LS/Drag3 turbokit

My drag piping does not have a nipple for the hose that connects to the valve cover. I could just put a filter there but I heard it could be bad. I read that an oil catch can could solve the problem but the thing is the catch can hooks in between the pcv valve therefore I still have to have a filter??? I am confused, someone please help.

Other question, my drag downpipe does not have a flange, should I hook the flex pipe at the end then the flex pipe hook to the cat converter(is there enough room), or should I hook the flex pipe before the o2 sensor bung hole, and no I will not remove the cat converter.

I put a small filter on my valve cover and never had a problem. You should not need a flex on your dp, But you will have to extend it a few inches and put a 2 bolt flange to bolt to stock cat. I just drove my to the muffler shop with the open dp. They hooked me up for about 40 bucks.

i think you could tap a hole in your intake and run a tube out. then put a hose from teh tube to your valve cover

I guess I would have to tap a nipple, just didnt want to mess w/ the pipe in any way.

You would not want to put the nipple on the piping and run a tube to the head, unless it is before the compressor. If you do it afetr the compressor, under boost you will be pressurizing your crankcase. Not good. Before compressor=O.K. Filter=O.K.
Also, you need a flex section somewhere... wherever is easier/more feasable.

JalopySiR:

Oh, I see, so basically just tap into my intake piping that goes into the compressor?
Not the piping that goes to the throttle, right?

Flex pipe doesnt matter where as long as there is one, right?

run the hose back to your intake (before turbo) to complete the pcv system.
