Sup guys

I know your all probably tired of seeing these threads but i thought id try and get a valid answer to my questions.

Background is a turbo b18c1 9:5:1 will be running about 320-350hp. I was just wondering if my catch can idea would be sufficient. I planned on just keeping the stock pcv breather in place and running a line from the port to the left of the pcv valve to my catch can and T it with the vent from the valve cover. I will be using the honda vent port from the hex plug to the left of the oil filter as a second evacuation point.

Check out the images and it will be apparent what i am asking......... thanx guys.


Sorry for the basic illustration, i have to get to work soon..........


Ill make another image tomorrow, reflecting the changes........

you could make it less restrictive by leaving valve cover port open. thats the way i run mine, i have additoinal vents on valve cover with lines but they do'nt run into catch can - less restrictive.

Ok so forget the T and just use a mini filter on the valve cover port?

How about the 2nd image? Do i need to run a vacuum line from the catch can?

 

i would just run the valve cover port open. filter will make it more restrictive and possibly damage something

I could always run the line back to the intake mani, would this be a good idea?

 

intake manifold will have boost going through it.. you want to avoid connections as you would have on stock setup. so connecting valve cover port to intake manifold would be a bad idea. best is to leave it open

Ahhh good point..... dunno why i thought the pressure wouldnt blow back into the valve cover....... thanx!

So my first diagram excluding the valve cover port would suffice?

 

heres what i did with good success.

Plug the hole for the factory PCV, cap the line that went to the IM.

Open up the port on the back of the block towards drivers side leave the other one sealed.

Use the factory honda fitting and washer into the port.

Then run from the valve cover and 'T' Into the port on the back of the block

Run 1 line from the 'T' to the catchcan

Vent other side of catchcan, or do a intake slashcut (keeps it legal with the slashcut)

Thanx for the ideas, i think i should be able to find one of these methods that works the best.
