Im using a catch can with my turbo set-up and haven't found a diagram or picture on how to hook it up. If someone could send me a link of or something of how they've hooked theres up that would be awesome. I've searched for a while and haven't found what i am looking for.

you need to run a line from valve cover to the catch can and another line from catch can to turbo inlet pipe

i'm not going to be running a line that goes back into the turbo inlet pipe. It is all going to be contained in the catch can. I was thinking of putting a filter on the valve cover. Then there is a line on the backside/center of the valve cover that T's into another spot which then connects to my intake pipe right before the throttle body. Do i route all of those lines to the catch can?

the pcv system is different on a boosted vehicle. the pcv system needs vacuum. without vacuum the system is useless. if you route the catch can to the pipe on the throttle body then once the engine boosts your going to pressurize the pcv system defeating the point of it. you want to remove the fumes and remove the positive pressure from the crankcase. a pressurized crankcase will lose you power as the pumping losses is greater. the only way to do this on a boosted vehicle is to route the line to the turbo inlet pipe. also pcv system is an emissions devise and venting to the atmosphere is illegal.

look up B R fittings on google. they make an actual legit pcv delete kit for your motor and adds a catch can. im running one of there kits on my ls turbo and works perfect do not run a line to your turbo inlet.

busa do some research on honda stuff before posting please

lol. wiltgen unless you are a trained technicion dont give people advise. unless you run the vent to the turbo inlet the pcv system doesnt work. if you pressurize the crankcase you will cause seal damage and rob the engine of power.

ive been running pcv systems on all my builds/customer builds for over 15 years to the turbo inlet pipe with no issues.

im not saying that wont work. but since yes ive been turbo and n/a honda motors for10 years now and yet have i seen or used a tube from the turbo to the catch can. but i am curious on how that looks so please enlighten me with some pictures or a link. where i could read this.

ps i wasnt trying to be a dick to you

Ok i have figured out how I am going to run the catch can. Just the one line from my crankcase to the catch can. I think the other line i am talking about is for a vacuum source so i will leave. I'll check with the honda dealer first though.

LOl i've been a honda technician for 6 years and i don't know. if you bring it to the dealer they are just gonna say dont do it its not design for that. save you a trip. SO... whats the correct way to do it? any pics cause i will be installing my turbo in a month or 2

I just ended up putting a little breather filter on the valve cover. The spot where the little tube connects back to the intake. So far it seems to be working well.
