Vtisgilman Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Cars looking proper sweet, bet it's rapid. What did you do for positive crankcase ventilation? I can see you have a catch can but can't tell how you've plumbed it in. Did you keep the factory black box on the back of the block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars daily driven so figured keeping the vacuum assist for normal driving was wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtisgilman Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Ah ok that makes sense. I asume the standard pcv system copes ok running that sort of power with presumably more blow by gases being FI. Is it just the pcv valve that stops the block seeing boost pressure when on boost, then off boost it goes back to seeing vacuum? Sorry for the questions, I'm planning my build but there seems to be lots of different methods of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends what the car is for will help decide how you go about it. If the cars a track car at WOT all the time. Remove the black box. And vent to the catch can. In my case as it spends a lot of time cruising I decided the PCV system back into the intake is probably beneficial. But then open vented the valve cover to allow for blow by. I have 4 an10 vents on valve cover, unfortunately 2 are unusable due to the design of my manifold. But should be enough ventilation for my lowish boost level. I also blocked off the stock vent hole on the back of cover just to tidy things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Tinkered a little this week. Put the car back together. Fitted all new pioneer speakers aswell. Replaced the black door trims with fresh ones as mine were faded and didn't seem to want to come back to black. Ive made the AC the boost control button. Since switch was there unused. So now when press AC goes from around 300 upto 400hp. More bits arrived to rebuild the suspension. Need to find a nice set of coilovers at some point too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
