Default The Black box behind the engine.

I know its some sort of an hollow oil catch can on all honda motors, But I want to know if I can get rid of it and simple route a hose from that location to an oil catch can and have it vent in to the atmosphere, and not even bother running a PCV valve at all.

What do you think.

no, he means the pcv box... the one attached to the back of the engine. vent it but make sure you get a filter on it. you don't want little nasties in your crank case.

that box records 2 minutes of critical flight data in case of a crash, you can't get rid of it, the air traffic controllers will shut you down.

That's what the CIA wants us to believe, but it's actually used for monitoring UFO's in the MidWest areas...
