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.

Also, if you knew how the stock PCV system worked you would know 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 suggest you check them out.

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?

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)
