I finally got around to installing my homemade catchcan as well as redoing my vacume lines with silicone hose. Enjoy the pics and feel free to comment.

where does the other end of the line go? to the pcv valve?

Exactly. I drilled out the center of the pcv valve and took out the spring and bearing leaving it open.

Thats the exact same setup I have sitting in my garage ready to be installed. (Drilled out PCV, line to catch can, line to preturbo intake)

Hows it working for you?

nice. im not really a fan of the blue hose but if you like it thats cool.

can you explain the line from the vc to the preturbo intake? im not sure what that device is in the middle

So for so good. In a week or so I'm gonna open the can up and see how the steel wool is doing as a filter medium.

Sounds good man, please let me know. I put some steel wool in mine too. If the old lines are any indication the catch can will be a worthwhile addition (it was all gummy inside them from old condensed oil vapors in the OEM pcv system).

shouldnt the line from the vc to the intake go through the catch can? Have you ever taken that preturbo intake piece off and seen if it was all oily in there?

I have mine hooked up the same way except with a breather off the valve cover, either way looks good.

The device in the middle is my Turbosmart MBC. It's ran inline with the wastegate to intake mani not the valve cover and as for the blue hose, silicone only comes in bright colours for some reason and blue was the easiest on the eyes.

Re: Catch can installed!(pics)
 
so why does it look like the line from your preturbo intake to your valve cover is connected to your manual boost controller? ??? ???

EDIT:nvm i now see the mbc is electrical tapped to the intake -to vc line

yeah i think i need to make one of those soon. I just disconnected my PCV valve hose for the time being because i figure it'd be bad if i pressurized the crankcase with 5psi. How come you can't just slap a filter on the PCV valve hose though?

lkailburn 08-16-2005 05:13 PM

^^
it needs a vacuum to help suck it out. er well it is supposed to have a vacuum to help pull it out. but you can have a basic setup of an open breather can sitting on it and it'll help a lil bit. ppl prolly don't just slap a filter on there because A its hard to get two, and B is gonna make a mess of the back of your block and firewall.

Re: Catch can installed!(pics)
 
oki hate to sound like a retard but on a y8 the pcv valve connects to the manifold via the hose that runs through the injector cluster correct? And it's way the ---- down there? Are there any other vaccuum lines i need to disconnect or be worried about?

Re: Catch can installed!(pics)
 
for a basic catch can setup the only thing you need to worry about is the pcv and the valve cover(used to connect to the stock intake pipe). when you disconnect the pcv hose from the IM make sure you put one of those rubber caps on the IM nipple so you don't have a big vacuum leak.

Couldnt you just use that port for wastegate/boost gauge instead. ;)

that's exactly what i did, then i have a little ricer filter on the valve cover.

Your pcv is disconnected with the valve in there so it stays closed? And you have a filter on the valve cover? Its probably alright for now, but I'd get a catchcan setup in there ASAP. You may not be presurizing your valvecover/crankcase, but the crankcase needs to vent.

uh. you DON"T want to presurize your valvecover/crankcase. the whole point of the pcv system is to release pressure from the valve cover and crankcase heheh.

yah you can put something on the IM nipple. im just saying make sure you don't leave it open or its a big vac leak

I don't think you are understanding me. The breather on the valve cover isnt the problem. Its the fact that the PCV valve wont open without vacuum applied to it thats the problem. Thus JDMFantasy2k's pcv valve will not open now man, thats the problem. Thats why you attach a line from your PCV valve to the PRETURBO intake pipe, or remove/hallow out the pcv valve altogether. Take a look at Mr.Death's setup above again.

The stock PCV system uses the valve cover nipple is an intake for the PCV system and it exits through the PCV valve. There are some nice diagrams in a couple other recent threads on here.

i understand how the pcv works. the pcv valve needs a vac source or needs to be removed/hollowed out. im sorry for not mentioning that above.

Re: Catch can installed!(pics)
 
okay, dumb question number 2. How the ---- do i remove it? I see the hose that goes down through the Intake manifold and then i can't see ----. Do you just yank the hose off and try to find it?

lkailburn 08-17-2005 06:10 PM
Re: Catch can installed!(pics)
 
heh yah its in a tough spot. i can't remember if there is a lil clamp on it or not but anyways the pcv(black box) is right next to your oil filter on the back of the block. the pcv valve is plugged into the top of the box. it might be easiest to get to from under the car. but again your going to want to either pull the guts out of the valve and connect it to a vac source(slash cut in preturbo intake or exhaust pipe etc)
