Default Emissions on a Race Car?

As I have my car all ripped apart, what does everyone usually do with the emissions garbage? On my GSr, I believe that I can bypass the PCV valve into the intake. Do most people just put a filter on the intake side of the valve cover?

Also what do most do with the evaporation stuff for the gas tank, etc...

Any and all ideas appreciated!

This car never seems to end. It's been quite a project and I am still only about 75% done!

Dont ditch the PCV, and run a catch can between the pcv and manifold.

Dont put an a filter on the breather from the intake to the valve cover, the airflow is *in* not *out* of the valve cover.

You can ditch the charcoal canister though.

I realize the the intake actually pushes air into the valve cover to create positive pressure and actually use the PCV valve. So the only thing I should do is install a catch can? Is there any other EGR valves or anything that needs to go?

Shouldn't be an EGR valve on your GSR...or any Integra for that matter...

Only other thing is the EVAP system, which is probably not going to benefit you at all if you remove, and would probably also cause you to modify other things for the engine to run correctly without it.
