use an oil catch can!
This is the one i'm talking about not pvc one. I should put a oil catch can on this one to? I have the 420a engine btw.You must be logged in to view this image or video.
Ok so what your saying for me since i dont have a spot to recirc it is 2 catch cans and the one vent to atmosphere with the breather?
Punctuation and proper grammar will help people to better understand you.
I don't quite understand what you are asking. Do you mean you intake pipe for the turbo does not have a hose fitting for a catchcan set up? You don't need to run two catchans, some just run one between the valve cover and turbo intake pipe.
I follow a catch can set up that best suites you needs. Is you car a daily driver? Is it a race only vehicle? How often do you plan on changing you oil?
If you read the link about proper pcv system and catchcan, you would know that each set up caters toward a different need.
Since mine is a daily driver, I have it set up as the "improved stock" version. That is what is best suited for me.
He's got a 420A, thus no turbo. Although the information is still accurate, but maybe refer to the pipe as the air intake and not the turbo intake.
OP - you need to replace that filter with a catch can if you want to keep (most of) the oil out of your intake. Then you run a hose from the valve cover to the catch can, and another hose from the catch can to the intake.
They are both in this picture. I will highlight them for you. There is also an unseen check valve before the vaccuum blockI am interested. Checked your gallery, but no pics of your pvc dual catch-can setup. I need to make one.
My pvc system is setup the same way Hahn Racecraft has it is this picture this. (Btw I have the stage 2 hahn racecraft setup, thats as close as im gonna get to a picture of my engine bay.)
