Intake Breather

[Rippinstock]

Hey, I'm eliminating my PCV valve, and i was going to replace it with that breather it connects to on the intake manifold. I had thought I read that they're the same threads, but not sure. Secondly, if i were go to say NAPA or something to order one of these what would I call it? Also could i plug the one on the intake manifold with a bolt, or just leave one on there and cap it? Suggestions?

Hmmmmm.

Why are you doing that? It sounds like you're intentionally impairing your vehicle's function.

Also bumping threads will get your threads locked, especially if you're bumping them only 2 hours after you make them.

What you propose will not work well. This thread http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=229338&highlight=stupid+pcv has some of the best info I've seen, it's a long one but for good reason.

We all have our opinions yes i do agree the pcv system works great during idle, but under boost when it is needed I believe it is insufficient. 90% of people block off their EGR's so I dont see how I'm majorly changing the function of the car.

EGR is not PCV. Please read the supplied thread. It will change your mind about PCV systems. . .
