ya! Is she running good with the breather? I've been thinking of pulling my pcv and running breathers instead.

I don't want all that nasty, dirty, oily air going through my nice port and polished, flow matched, 3500 upper-end, with 5 angle cut stainless valves and coating everything in goop so it can ruin my $3000 worth of performance machining to the heads and intakes.

Or that's why I would run breathers had I been able to afford to have Ben do all that work I look forward too.

SCREW EMISSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i would think putting a breather in the pcv's place with boost is not a good idea. your gonna have the pressure in the crankcase and not alot is gonna be going out with justa breather.

i'd setup a catch can and suck out a good amount of that crank pressure

or u might start blowing gaskets

[IsaacHayes]

yeah breather on one side (back side) or route a tube from there to after the air filter where fresh air goes into the turbo. That takes care the crank case getting fresh air when the nasty combustion fumes/blow by are sucked out via the other side.

For the other side (front) run PCV valve with a tube going into a catch can, then into stock location or somewhere it would get manifold vacuum. The PCV should close when there isn't a vacuum on it.

Where did you get the rad. for the intercooler??

[TurboAlero]

Good job dude nice nice

[Guest]

you are using a radiator for an intercooler? what size diameter pipe is that going in and out of your "intercooler". Or should I say rubber tubing

[TurboAlero]

He is using air to water system.

[Guest]

Oh ok I see it now. Its down in front of the drivers wheel. I was going to say WTF. Looks cool. Definately a lot of cooling going on with that big ass thing there.

With a good tune tht thing should roll out pretty good

[TurboAlero]

Some update pic's.
The car isn't still ready, still waiting on the clutch padel, It's on back order so say's the GM dealer.

[TurboAlero]

Next step is installing the Microtech ECU LTX12s, with a extarnal crank trigger.
When the car is full done hopefully in december It will get a new fresh paint and a body kit, because the intercooler is to big for the stock front bumber of the car lol

[rickykline]
