hey guys,
I have a f22b2 engine. As of right now, I have one hose leading from the center of the valve cover (pvc) into the catch can, and another pipe from the catch can to the intake manifold.

Would it make sense to use both valve cover ports, (left and center, and and connect them with a Y) leading into the "in" on the catch can? Or would this be counter-productive? There will still be vacum. I will still have one hose leading out of the catch can into the intake.

thoughts?

 

don't mind me asking, are you running boost?

If you leave the PCV valve on the valve cover, then the IM vacuum will simply pull lots of air thru the catch can from the intake duct. That would be like a huge vacuum leak.

If I understand what you want to do, you'll need 2 catch cans. One for each of those lines. But you gotta keep them separate from each other.

Boost? If so, the PCV valve needs to close completely with boost. I believe most Honda PCV valves are like that; check by blowing thru it in the direction towards the VC, it shouldn't allow any flow in that direction. And the vent line (the other one without the PCV valve) has to be in the intake, upstream of the compressor.

 

Boost is coming soon. I just want to know how sturdy my engine is, and the catch can was just a experiment.

I always assumed the way I had it setup was the way it was the most efficent.
