I'm trying to think of new ways to do anything and everything, could any suggest a niffty ways of venting the valve cover.



like what kinda fittings are thoose, and lines, so anyways.. what about a long chatch tank that looks like a second radiator, mount that on the front rad support, so it looks like dual rads, and then have the lines at a 45 degree or 60 degree angle.. so it doesn't it my wastegate...

The hose ends are Earls and the hose is Earls Pro-lite.

what about venting from the top, like a 90 degree, and then mount it on the top twords the middle

Are you talking about venting the top of the valve cover instead of the front/back of it? IMO it's pointless because you have to worry about it clearing your hood if you do it that way.

im sure it would clear

you would be surprized, with a gsr motor in an EG, you only have about an inch between the valve cover and the hood... sometimes less

? hmmmmmm. what about the little filter near back of the valve cover. isnt that good enough? Now what specificaly does the catch can do?

That's true.......Look at your valve cover from the bottom of the car with the hood closed. Not much space if any at all...

to me these seem pointless.. is there any benefit?

or is it just the bling factor..

SS hose is more durable than regular hose.... personally I think it weighs too much for this application.

What is the deal with no filter on there? They just drilled holes in the top of the catch can for venting?

If it does clear, it'll be VERY close.

The other aspect of placing them on the front there, is using the stock valve cover baffling, to prevent loads of oil splashing into the lines.

I'm a big fan of this method. made by the same guy as the above picture.

This is how my setup is vented. It is also drained back into the block on the passenger side fitting.

i just use the hond fittings on the back of the block and T the valve cover into one of those 2 hoses.

Also I ran a hose from my catchcan vent to the bottom of the car cause the crap that comes outta there is gross.

There crap that stay in there is even grosser (unburnt fuel/oil/gunk)

catchcan is a MUST for FI imho
