so how badly am i screwing myself over if i do not install an oil catch on a turbo f series. I read the thread by the guy who did a few tests and searched online about the pcv systems...sounds to me like it would be a necessity, however, i know i have seen some turbo 5th gen accords that left the stock pcv system as is.

 

bump

 

early morning bump

 

Someone must know something. There seems to be several ways to hook it up. I don't know if it depends on the catch can you're using or what...some people put it inbetween the IM and VC. Some cap the IM and link the two on the VC. Others cap the IM and go from the VC to the can to the intake preturbo. someone help me out PLEASE. any advice is appreciated!

 

How much boost are you planning on running?

 

I'm just going off the wastegate spring for now, 5.8lbs and end up at 8lbs max later.

 

stock pvc valve will do. catch can is far from a necessity at that amount of boost.

Which catch can you got?

I ran my f22 on 13 psi with no catch can, I didnt have any problems.

 

ok sweet. i was planning on just getting one off ebay, but i wanted to make sure i knew the setup i would use before i bought one. it's good to know you did not have detonation or anything. i'll just keep it as is then. BTW, did you do 13psi on a stock motor?

what do you guys think of this? 10psi day is coming soon!

 

thats an allstar brand catchcan and they work pretty well.

I run a modified one of those from -10an lines fed from welded on -10an fittings on the valvecover. no pcv system, just open ventilation catchcan.

if you plan on running a catchcan and still a pcv valve though from vc to intake manifold... you need a sealed catchcan.

basically what i use to run when pushing lower boost, worked pretty well to. go pcv valve -> catchcan (sealed no filter) -> intake manifold.

 

running a sealed catch can inline between the pcv and the manifold was my first plan. i figured it would do the job fine for low boost. I think someone said not to do it though, which is why i started seeking alternate routes. How well do you think this will work with the allstar breather tank: 1) Put a hollow fitting in place of the pcv. 2) cap the intake manifold. 3) run a line from the entry to the pcv system to one of the 3/8" ports. then run the second line from where the pcv used to be (now a hollow fitting) to the other 3/8" port. what do you think of that? which of the two would you go with?

p.s. if you suggest the sealed catch can method, could i get away with a $20 ebay catch can? I'm guessing the disadvantage with the ebay ones has to do with poor baffling compared to that of say a Greddy Can. If that's not right please correct me.
thanks!
