where is this located on an h22a4? can someone show me a pic?

i want to remove the pcv valve and route a hose underneath the car and put a filter on the valve cover, b/c i dont think the catch cans are worth it anymore

btw, where does the pcv valve connect to in the first place and what does it do? will removing it cause any problems?

 

 

valve cover...then you have a hose that connects it to the intake manifold.

 

someone help

Why? The man answered your question!

It is on the backside of the valve cover, towards the right side. It is a plastic valve coming out of the valve cover with a hose that runs straight back to the intake manifold.

so if a add a hose on the pcv valve aimed to the ground, what do i do with the part on the intake manifold, to get the catch can affect?

 

ok, here is a pic. if the pcv is the thing on the valve cover than what is the thing in the intake manifold called?

The thing i want to do is add a hose to there 2 locations and add hoses to a small tank located on underneath the car. so can anyone show me where these 2 locations are?


do i have to remove the PCV valve to do this? and how do i remove the valve??

My suggestion to run the hose to the ground doesn't have a "catch can" affect. A catch can "catches" the oil. Running the hose to the ground will just let whatever oil gets by the black box drip on the ground. You would need to remove the pcv valve to do this.

 

Why would you need to remove the PCV valve to do that?

Putting a hose from the PCV valve to the ground will let the oil go out of the engine bay instead of back into the intake manifold, but it will not act like a catch can because, as stated above, the oil is not being caught by the can.

The hole on the intake manifold is just called a nipple. You plug it off when doing the catch can.

Only problem with that is you have no vacuum pulling out the pressure. My opinion is leave it hooked up to the IM if your not boosted, but with a catch can.

I don't see the point of that diagram's setup. You want a catch can inbetween the PCV and the IM, not the valve cover. Air goes into the valve cover and out the PCV valve, that thing is like a loop with no vacuum....

so instread of catching it, it'll dump it right? so it does the same thing just dumping it instead of catching it?

im going to be boosted, so will the dumping idea not be so effective?

 

how about i drive down your street dumping oil. Its not exactly biodegradable, and not to metion probably **** off people on motorcycles when the go down due to oil slicks. Use the catch can. Catch it, then drain it. Its really not that hard. Dont be a moron because you are lazy.

If you're boosted, there will be lots more pressure, so, yes I would take out the PCV valve and just have a nice hole venting to wherever you want....maybe have the catch can catch the oil and then vent into the atmosphere. Many people have even had success putting additional vents on the front of the valve cover...

would also like to know how to do this

 

Well, I don't really have a write up on, but the valve itself should just pull out. Then you'd need to find a fitting that you could thread into that hole...preferably a 90 degree elbow. Then for the vents, just drill some holes of whatever size you want and find properly sized fittings to thread in.

Summitracing/Jegs/Earls have every type of fitting you could ever want....

this is a dumb thread either
a)use a catch can
b)leave it how it comes from factory

 

im gunna make a custom can underneath the car that will catch all of the oil. i have a motorcycle too

 

u do that and get us some pics..

hawzke already explained how to do it

 

Yeah, man, if you can't figure the details out, just take you valve cover to a machine shop or something and tell them what you want to do...

 

plus you can also search, theres a million threads on diy oil catch cans...some really good ones too
