go here http://photos.yahoo.com/gzero10 and look at the only pic, (pcv.jpg)

Ok, here are my questions, can i simply close "A" and put a breather in "B"?
I don't have to pass any emission or anything.

Is B the only breathing the engine has? i guess there has to be one more around the crankshaft.
thanks guys

I would not, the pcv is there for a reason and should not be removed in my opinion.

I dont agree with people who put breathers on... even the ones to ditch the line to the intake thats for ventilation.

You can put a breather there. I have a catch can there, then a breather..you'll just have some oil on the filter.

GZERO

o ok! THANKS but is there any other crank ventilation around the engine besides the valve cover one?

ArchAngel Sabastian

you have a picture of how you did it niedejb?

niedejb

No pics. Removed the PCV valve, ran hose to catch can, ran other side of catch can to breather. Plugged intake manifold.

Note the PCV only opens under vac so this setup wont work with the valve still inline.

soo i just a piece of hose ran into the valve cover? less i can find a plastic tube that fits snug in there. can i use anything for a catch can or does it need to be air tight.

Has to be oil tight cause thats what its going to catch. You can get em for <$100 in the classifieds.

ArchAngel Sabastian

thank you, whered you mount the can at?

niedejb

Above the intercooler between the bumper and the A/C condensor and radiator.

GZERO

so you just put a tube where the PCV goes and ran a hose from there to the catch can and after that free to the air? i was thinking this way you should lose oil faster, am i right? i was thinking about that, but i didn't knew that pcv opened on vacum, so that kinda threw me away.
thanks for your answer guys

niedejb

Dont know about losing oil faster but it doesnt get embibed by the engine.
