Default need some input on catch can system

im taking out my stock pcv system and putting in a catch can system (350hp b18b) and im wondering if im going to have to use some type of pcv valve. i want to use one catch can with 2 inlets and a breather. have one hose running to the head and one to the block. i know how to hook it up and run the hoses but will this be sufficient for my setup? thanks

Could you elaborate a bit more on your set up?
350 hp b18... any work done to internals, how big is the turbo etc.

yes, you can always benefit from a catch can setup.

setup has little or nothing to do. im just talking about the system. u dont need to know something about the engine when im talking about something else totally different is. and i know i can benefit from it but does the system work with 1 line to the block 1 line to the head and no pcv valve? that is the question.

I thought it was two lines to the head to releive crank case pressure...

you could get away with only one line to the head but 2 would be better, are you using the block line for a drain?

no, the line to the block is to relieve crankcase pressure and one for the head is for head pressure. do i need a pcv valve for a catch can system or not?

i dont see why you would need a pcv


it should work well as long as the can is mounted higher than the block fitting with a downward line as it will act as both a port and drain
