Im putting a go-autoworks short ram intake on my 99 si. The intake has the valve cover vent on it . My question is can I eliminate some of this stuff in the picture? Or how should I got about running the hose from my intake to my valve cover. Thanks guys.

 

Sorry for the small picture guy's . I can make it bigger if need be , but im sure you get the idea

 

Some intake arms have a nipple you can attach a hose to. Some don't. Most of us just stick a small valve cover filter (look like mini cone filters) on that nipple on the valve cover. It keeps oil from going into the engine under high revs, which keeps it cleaner and it's safer for the engine since oil lowers the effective octane rating of the fuel. If you live in an area where they do emissions testing, you need to keep that hose going to the intake most likely.

To eliminate that piece with two metal tubes attached to eachother, either get a longer hose to attach to the block and IACV (I think that's what the other hose is for), or get a barb fitting and hose clamps to splice the two ends of that coolant hose together.

 

Solution: catch can!

 

Still kinda lost guys

 

lol good solution, if you have high crank case pressure... or you've built a motor that will be revving to 10k constantly

 

just buy a small k&n, apc, hks... blah blah blah... whatever filter you want for the valve cover... cap the nipple on the intake... or use the provided hose with the intake and cut it to the right length and run it from the intake tube to the valve cover.

To get rid of the ugly metal piping behind the head... buy a length of coolant hose remove the hoses attatched to said "ugly metal piping" and just run a straight coolant line and get rid of the metal mess all together

 

I think they're good for most vehicles with high mileage
^^;

 

not knocking it... just curious why you think that??

 

Thanks man that helps, i was just confused on what all that stuff was

Because higher mileage vehicles tend to experience more blow-by as the rings/valve stems wear.
The catch can helps to eliminate the heavier crud from being sucked back into the intake and crudding up everything from the inside
^^
(lol next time I change my oil and empty my catch cans I'll post some pics of the crap that drained out of them that otherwise would have gone right back into the motor-although I have a higher-compression setup than stock sooo...it may help me a little more than most folks too ^^; )

Plus BLING BLING!
