Can AN fittings be welded onto the stock Evo valve cover? It's magnesium, so does that make it a problem?

What size would be preferred? If anyone has pics or tips, please post them up

I want to help the crankcase breath better.

 

would not weld mag. bad idea. If you a set on doing this drill and tap use a lots of cutting oil to keep heat down. Tap with size you want then use a sealant on fittings.

this stuff works GREAT. takes super high pressures and pretty high temps.

 

Ya do not weld magnesium. This could be bad.

 

These are not weld in, but very nice.

thinking about going with a bigger outlet than the STM ones

 

How much crank case pressure do you have? We use ours on a lot of cars with no problems yet.

I can't seem to twist the effer out, I must not be using enough man-strength or the right tool

 

What epoxy do you guys like to use to keep yours in the valve cover? Thanks.

 

The most common I've seen is -10 on evo valve covers.
Yes, please do not weld magnesium.......

 

^ Thank You.
I'm after relieving as much pressure as possible with room to grow in the future.

 

I drilled and tapped mine. I used a cut off wheel to get the nipples off then a hole saw to make the cuts. Then I got out my 1/2"npt tap and SLOWLY cut the threads. Went to my local speed shop and picked up two 1/2"npt to -8an earls fittings. You will need the hose, catch can, and other misc. fittings also. Good luck.

 

I'm all about relieving as much pressure as possible too

 

This will be my next project.

 

I'd use a press fit aluminum fitting of the size you want.

 

-10 to pushlock...pretty much the only way and only area of the valvecover we do this.
