Would a -10an press in fitting on the pcv side and a -6an on the intake side be the same?

 

yes, its FAR less baffled than the front side port. But its easy to put a plug on that rear port.

 

Here is a breather option that maintains the factory PCV flow, provides good crankcase ventilation, and does not require drilling the valve cover. The downside is that the PCV port is known to suck oil under hard acceleration, so the catch can could fill up quickly under those conditions, especially without a Kiggly HLA.

 

Thank you. Those were my plans exactly. Just wanted to confirm if there were going to be any adverse effects of having the larger port on the PCV side. I have the Kiggly HLA so I can just monitor the can closely.

 

As long as an OEM PCV valve is used in the location I show, there will be no adverse effects of this layout. Also, the check valve needs to have the lowest possible crack pressure. I mentioned Boomba because I have one, and have found it to have a low crack pressure.

 

i disconnected my intake line from the valve cover,
with a 35r i was pulling enough oil even with the kiggly hla to see it puddle in the intake pipe before the turbo.

 

Mrfred so with the latest version of your catchcan setup the vta check valve opens under boost and the pcv closes due to boost and pulling vacuum it's reversed? And with a kiggly hla how quickly is quickly, I'm looking at this for a dd so I don't want to be loosing too much oil because I am passing cars on a long drive. Not trying to argue just understand the dynamics more.

 

Correct.

At this point, I have not noticed any additional oil coming out the rear of the VC under normal driving or WOT straight line.

 

Ok thank you for the quick response, ill have to try this setup when I redo my head.

 

Mrfred, where did you purchase the Fairclough -10AN adapter? Google didn't yield anything.

 

I think there is a link in this thread. Try searching on Fairclough in EvoM.

 

STM now sells one. Not sure if it is Fairclough's but they sell one.

 

Awesome thanks - found it. FWIW my scooby doo detective work uncovered that Fairclough is user name here on the EVOM boards who had sold them in the past. Case closed Shaggy.

anyone try this -12 fitting for the plugged hole when you delete your balance shafts? i just ordered one, and am going to try it out. but i cant seem to find any info on it here

 

So, from what I gather from the FP posts and there link it looks like they are running 2, -10AN lines from the VC to a sealed catch can and a -10AN line from catch can to air intake. Although the post that Michael from FP made says he made a "custom vent from the block" ......so maybe I am wrong.

So, any guesses as to how the PCV and/or check valves are run in their setup?
