The pcv is a pressure system. So You need to route it back into your system. So take that breather filter off and put it back into your intake/coldpipe.

^Agree, was going to say theres another hose that needs to be there.

But thanks for clearin that up too.

are you talking about routing it back to the back of the engine or route it to the intake.if you are talking about routing off the back t bolt i have that blocked

First, im assuming you just left out the hose from the crank case breather (pipe behind the exhaust manifold next to the firewall) to the other end of the T in the valve cover. B, your new intake is probably lacking the bung that the stock intake had, normally the line you have running to the catch can is run directly to the intake tube before the turbo. The intake helps draw out gasses from the crank case, but its not necessary for the car to run properly. Your catch can will catch the oil that comes out of valve cover, but it should be also hooked up to the intake.

You all correct me if I'm wrong but I think they mean the pipe going to the compressor side of the turbo. I think its different like that on forced induction applications vs. N/A

Stock SR intake

valve cover runs to the bung on the right (left is the stock recirc location)

[daryl337]

the way you have it routed now does not ventilate your crank case.. your oil catch can will become pressurized. you need a secondary tube coming off of your original T on the valve cover so that it vents the pressure... Stock it recircs it into your compressor so that it can be consumed...

You can always ditch that catch can and go for more of an extreme type, like these.

who needs a catch can, haha, jk, im going to make me one similar like the first one.

[s13pignose]

Wow thats some work...well I take it I was right about having it before the turbo.

[AznDrftr.]

Thats definitely different. Never seen that before.

popular among supra guys, one way check valves into the exhaust after the O2, supposed to work better at pulling out the crank case gasses

[Tearlessj]

These honda guys have good vented valve cover set ups. Cost about $500 for a set up. Thats including hoses, fittings, and catch cans. Check it out.

Heres where you can buy kits, lines, or catch cans alone.
