If your running a oil catch can on a Turbo engine, run a line from the pcv valve to the catch can then to the pre-turbo intake. That easy

Thats most likely their added value they call a drain hole. Which makes no sense why theyd send it with a fitting like that and you can even drain it thru the two tapped fittings on top. They stole a pic of a Real Greddy one, terds

Those pictures are fucked. For one, in the first pic, the blue line going from the valve cover to the turbo intake, the arrows are going the wrong way. For two, having a vented catchcan completely defeats the purpose of running the lines to the turbo intake....yer not getting any vacuum if the catchcan is vented. :P

Crankcase pressure is blow-by. Ideally all the BANG would stay in the cylinder, until the exhaust valve opens, but some leaks by the valve seals, and some leaks by the piston rings. The engine has two vents for blow-by.... one on the valve cover, one on the back of the engine, that little black box that leads to the PCV valve. Ideally you want vacuum in the crankcase, it helps the rings seal better.

People usually vent them for turbo setups. Little breather filter on the valve cover, vented catchcan for the PCV so you don't blow oil all over the engine bay. Under hard driving you will smell some gnarly blow-by fumes vented.

The better setup is to get vacuum on those vents...either from the turbo intake or a slashcut on the exhaust.

i made my own outta pvc and i hooked it up like in that diagram where there's a breather on the valve cover. my car started overheating after the catch can inctal so i threw the catch can away and just went back to the stock pcv system. i didn't have any overheating or any kind of problem since.

So you installed a catch can and your car started overheating ???

Yup works great.Easier to see what is there too.

WTF 03-05-2006 03:06 AM

Re: fucking catch can
 
good ---- . so do you leave the pcv valve in there, and just run a tube from it to the catch can, to the preturbo intake? and seal off the port on the manifold it used to connect to? just double checkin

can i use that port on the manifold for my boost gauge?

Re: fucking catch can
 
I gutted the PCV and ran in to the catch can unit then to the pre turbo air intake.I dont think gutting the PCV is neccesary or even recommended but that is how I ran it and it worked well.I slapped a generic mini filter on the valve cover breather as well.

Re: fucking catch can
 
I have both my pcv and the valve cover breather running to my catch-can, and then to a slash cut in the exhaust. I read a couple of articles somewhere about slash-cuts verses pre-turbo inlet, and the results pretty much said that the slash-cut pulled alot more vacuum than the pre-turbo inlet. I say slash-cut for the win, emissions for the loss ;D

Re: fucking catch can
 
how do you do the slash cut?

Re: fucking catch can
 
put a metal tube with a slash cut at the end welded into the exhaust. its what i plan on doing to, just seems like the best way to get rid of it with little work

Re: fucking catch can
 
Slash cut is def the way to go.I was getting lazy by the end of the whole setup install so I slapped it in the intake :P

Wow this is a good post. I have been looking for something like this. I have been having problems with mine. I wasnt around when it was hooked up and from what it looks like is that they took the PVC valve out completly out and used the hose that comes outta the little black box ran it to the can and took the line from crankcase vetilating line from teh valve cover and ran it to the can then put an APC filter on the top of the can.

I have been noticing that when I am in gear and let the car rev down in gear that when i get back on the gas that oil comes outta the exhaust. In a blue smoke cloud. I think that it is caused from blow by or what have you. what do you guys think does that sound like a good guess???
