Here's mine. A $3 in-line fuel filter from Autozone. VERY cheap, easy to come by, and always stays out of the way. I've been blowby free ever since I started doing this. They come in all shapes and sizes so you can always find one that will fit nicely.

I have a catch can that I have not installed yet. I am thinking about dumping it for a air/water separator. How much oil are you getting on both sides? Post pictures to see your setup.

This is my custom setup with -12 an lines , as you can see we shaved down the Mivec logo on this evo 9 valvecover and it was alot of work having these fittings clear the top caps for the cams. The can is welded up to the AMS battery tray just to hold it all together. I would have post pics of it on the car but doing a full build up right now.

insane

got pic of install

You are running both lines from the cover to the catch can. If you set it up like that it will not do anything.

There is a return line not in the picture that goes to the pcv

I get more oil on the PCV side, but that's normal because the PCV side closes under boost, and since I'm out of boost most of the time I see more on the PCV side. If you drive the car hard a lot you'll get more in the breather side than normal. You'll almost always get more on the PCV side though.

I'll go down to the garage and take some pictures later. Since it's been cold, I've been seeing a lot of water collecting in my air/water seperator on the PCV side. I was scared at first thinking I had a headgasket issue until I learned condensation and a little water in your catch can is normal. It's still real annoying to see a water and oil mix in my catch can.

Ill post up pics of mine in a day or two once I'm finished. I'm doing something similar too 1320awd, going to take the valve cover off and drill/tap for AN fittings wherfe the stock vents are and will be deleting the PCV valve. I made a small can out of some SS tubing I had laying around and polished that all up for a little bling too. Pics comming soon

I would LOVE to run my PCV and breather to one can with a breather filter on top and not re-route back into the intake, but I thought that the system needed vaccum to work. After all the catch can and PCV discussions there still is no confirmation on this. Anytime I've tried to research on whether or not vaccum is needed else where online, I only read that it's simply recirculated to please the EPA and emmisions reasons. I rarely read anything about vaccum.

If vaccum isn't needed then how come most everybody with catch cans that don't recirc. blow the dipsticks out constantly? Again I like the idea of not recirculating at all, but I'm afriad that the blow-by will build up so much pressure and blow the dipstick out like many people have issues with. Not only that, but possible cause other, more serious issues.

Anyway, here are some quick snaps of my ghetto set-up. No fancey camera work here, but it's get the point across. My engine bay isn't really worth of my fancey camera work anyway :p

Breather side. Route around the battery and then recirculates in stock location.
