Default What's your method for PCV?

What are you running and how is it setup? I've read countless archived threads about the theories of PCV, but I want to see how it's actually working for people. I've seen many guys just run a hose from the valve cover breather and it vents to atmosphere. What are you gys running?

I have a Endyn breather kit on my B20/vtec, However I have been thinking about adding some -10 or -12an fittings onto the front of my valve cover and vent them into another catch-can. Only thing I am not sure about is I have heard that the catch can's fill up fast. How fast I am not sure, trying to find out myself.

Fake Endyn setup here. Paid $70+ for the Moroso can + $60 to have a 2nd NPT fitting welded on (wish I had known, thought it would be $30...ouch!) + Honda block fittings & washers, freeze plug, barbed fittings, brass T, hose, hose clamps= more expensive than just buying the real Endyn setup. Someone on here posted that Art sells the Endyn setup for $145 shipped. I wish I had known this before. It works great, though!

I run a 5/8'' check valve welded into my exhaust to suck the vapours out of the block with a no name catch can inline. This is working really well for me.

I use the stock plumbing with a catch can in-line with the PCV valve. I'm testing a fuel filter on the valve cover purge line.

I'm also using a PCV E-vac system. 5/8" with the Moroso check valve plumbed from the valve cover.

I want to try out the Z10 vacuum pump, but I can't get enough info on it to know exactly what it needs and how it's driven. This is definitely my preferred route if it's as simple as I'm hoping it to be.

I've also contemplated using an electric brake booster from a GM vehicle, but I haven't been able to get my hands on one for a low price to justify twiddling with it. That's not to mention the longevity of a pump that's only intended for displacing air, not oil-vapored air.

The catch can drains into the block.
