Should i install the lines to the pcv lines or the vavle cover to intake lines?? everybody says the other and i'm confused

 

what kind of motor do you have? if you already have the seperator box, then you install the catch can inline between the box and the intake manifold.

 

I'm confused too, I always thought it was the PCV line but I keep seeing people with it on their Valvecover line. I have a B16A

 

"Both" lines are suppose to be going to the catch can. Otherwise, you are still getting those nasties spewed into the intake...

The oil catch can should be hooked up between the PCV valve and the intake manifold. The reason being, is because this the route that recirulated BLOW-BY VAPORS (and oil vapor droplets) back into the intake manifold. The BREATHER HOSE routes FRESH AIR to the crankcase. Here is a diagram which illustrates this.

Here is another diagram which shows the oil catch can hookup.

 

i took a greddy catch can (about $60 bucks) and filled it with Choreboy copper brillo stuff to act as a baffle to condense oil vapors. Put it inline between my pcv and the intake manifold. Just stuck a breather filter on my valve cover (never see oil coming from there anyway).
