Turbo Help asap

OK, I will just put breathers on both the crankcase vents, that should work correct?

You are better off using some kind of crankcase ventalation, but it will work. You need to get rid of moisture/vapors from the crankcase.

You can use the system that is there, just hook the PCV tube to the front of the turbo, or put a catch can in between the valve cover and turbo inlet to stop oil/carbon from building up in your turbo.

I thought that if i did not use a breather I was supposed to take the crankcase tube and run it into the filter side of the turbo. The pcv system goes from the oil dis., to the plenum. PLease explain a little better.

Sorry for the confusion, yes it's the pipe that normally goes to your manifold. Put that to the front of your turbo (filter side). If you want to keep that junk from going in there, just get a catch-can. You can get them for about $29 (plastic) and you will have a pet-cock on the bottom to drain it whaen it gets past a certain point (or put a chack valve on it, so it will only burn the oil during vacuum and port the bottom to the manifold).

OK I am really confused now. The oil catch can takes the pcv and relocates it to the can and then back to the motor. Now I was talking about the crankcase vent hoses. So if I do the oil catch can what do I do with the crank case hose?

[ForcedFirebird]

The catch can goes between the crank case vent (the one that normally hooks to the manifold) and uses the outlet on the can to go to the front of the turbo (or other partial vacuum).

[d.o.h.c]

You are confusing the shit out of me. The crankcase connects both front and rear valve covers and then goes into the intake(stock). So I take that and put it infront of the turbo also known as the filter side. AS far as the catch can I take the PCV hose and put it into the catch can and then into the plenum correct.

OK it make much more sense now. My only question is do i run the line from the port on the oil dist. straight to the catch can or do i still ust the pcv valve and run the hose off the pcv valve to the can

[ForcedFirebird]

You still use the valve. It makes sure the system works in one direction.

[d.o.h.c]

Ok gotcha. Now I just have to find the can.

If you are crafty, they are simple. It's a can with a baffle in it that has two tubes comming off it, and a petcock to empty it on the bottom. Go to a local race shop and look at one. I have seen them for less that $40 (IIRC it was a Moroso), but if you have some scrap metal and a welder...

EDIT: I know Summit has them.

so does e-bay. the turboxs one looks nice

[d.o.h.c]

Here are some pics of the engine and the hoses, starter shield,brakes. As far as the vacuum lines please make sure I did it correct.

Well I went for another drive. When I got the car spooled it had a perfect green a/f ratio. But the BOV is still leaking. I guess I just need to keep adjusting it. But other than that it ran pretty good. I couldnt tell ya if it is faster but I was doing 85 on a 35 in no time at all. it deffinitly gets up and goes. But when it is spooled it just dumps half of the air out the BOV. I will post some pics.
