Why are you thinking up all these dumb ideas for PCV evacuation, when you aren't going to be making any real power? Just vent that ---- to atmosphere and stop wasting your time.

Don't worry about WHY I'm doing ---- ::)

All I want is some input on whether or not you guys think this will work.

How about you try something for yourself for once instead of making 5 threads a day asking retarded questions :3

I don't make "5 threads a day asking stupid ----" I'm just trying to find out if anyone else has done this before me. Thats what this forum is for.

Half of your threads are unnecessary and can be answered with a quick search.

Re: PCV pump. What you think?
 
Can you answer this one with a quick search?

Re: PCV pump. What you think?
 
Just search PCV setups fool. How many people do you see running a pump?

If you want to try something different then go ahead and do it. We aren't going to hold your hand and give you approval for every part you buy.

That pump seems to be for fluid, in which case it would prolly overheat if you're using it for air

But Jago life without your approval is just unacceptable :-*
I'll just ------- try it and hope for the best.

Thats the kind of response I was looking for. Thanks. Anyone else second this opinion?

If it will shut you up I'll second it ::)

"Hey guys someone just answered my question. Can I get a few more approvals before I do anything or even attempt to figure something out myself?"

That pump probably wont do dick, since it is for fluid.

Just vent it, or hook a catch can and a vacuum line to the intake and be done.

It says self priming, so I was thinking that it would pull a vacuum. I'm not sure how I would keep it from over heating though ???

i will work for a little bit but wil overheat pretty quick since there is no fluid going through it.

im pretty sure they sell some small vaccum pumps there though

Smog pump run off the accessory portion of the crank pulley or an electric one.

Re: PCV pump. What you think?
 
Torgan I've heard of people using A/C compressors to run a vacuum. I've got a few laying around, just not sure how much of a vacuum that would create. what do you think?

TorganFM 03-17-2008 05:27 PM

Re: PCV pump. What you think?
 
If you're doubting a crank powered compressor I would get an electric smog pump off ebay or something... less fab work (brackets and belts and ---- to go wrong) and $40.

The cheapest I can find is 80.00 for a used one. I'll just keep searching maybe I'll turn something up. Try to hit up some local junkyards too, meh you never know.
