Default B16A + Catch Can

I currently own a built B16A in an EJ6. The motor was a transplant from my old EF, making for an OBD-0 motor in an OBD-2a chassis with a OBD-1 ECU. On to my question...

After my Edelbroch VictorX (it was cheap) was installed, I realized my PCV system is running open loop, meaning it is not connected anywhere on my manifold. Instead, the hole on the top of the breather can on the block is open and spews oil under heavy acceleration. I wanted to purchase a catch can, however I do not know how to configure the setup to work with my manifold. Hopefully this will help reduce the amount of oil I burn

Default Re: B16A + Catch Can (drSquish)

are you concerned about inspection?

if not, i'd take the seperator tank off the back of the block, go get a brass screw-in 1/2" (i think) threaded brass nipple with 5/8" ID nip and tap the top hole where the pcv would normally go, to accept the fitting. just measure the hole where the PCV goes to make sure 1/2" will do it, i believe it will...

clean the hole after tapping and clean the sep tank WELL inside to make sure no metal bits from the threading are left and throw some moderate Hondabond smears on the threads of the fitting before you screw it in. then reinstall the seperator tank on the back of the block. be careful you don't lose that o-ring when reinstalling it. keep the outside and hole on the block well oiled!

then take 5/8" line from there to a vented catch can...that should vent the block well w/o polluting the intake charge through the intake manifold pcv nipple ; )
