Why do you have your breather system coming off the intake side?????

Sorry if I come off rude, I'm really drunk. I like your manifold.

I wasnt aware it made a difference in which side the breather system was setup. if it was the exhaust side of the valve cover it would still be pulling vapor from inside the valve cover. If someone would clarify, i would appreciate it.

And what does the car need outside and inside? Ive gotten a ton of compliments on it so far.

I like the wheels on your car
Engine looks sick but not feeling the interior too much, the carbon fiber trim looks half assed and the floor mats are , but overall i really like the car.

Motor set up is minus the Red garden hose. Change that to black or something, it screams look at me, Im a hose!!!

New wheels would definitely make the car. Right now, they kinda break it.

Perhaps the theory is that under acceleration the oil that's spitting against the valve cover will go right out the hose? Did you baffle the outlets at all? like a shield to prevent liquid oil from going through the hose?

wheels are less than to be desired and the steering wheel aka the autozone special ain't that nice. but the motor work and such make up for it. I like it

Yes, i made a baffle for the breather holes. and drove it for a while with no hose on it and no oil was coming out, even under hard acceleration.

I hate the steering wheel too, but ive been spending money elsewhere so it hasnt become a priority yet.

And i got the hose in red to add some color to the bay. I dig it lol.

Thanks for the comments thus far.

As long as you baffle it, there should be no issues i guess.

I just adjusted my valves and my b16 valve cover has a baffle on the exhaust side from the factory, i guess that's why most people put it there in the front.
