Installed Powder coated Valve cover and Catch can System
Good morning everyone,
A little while ago, I had some ideas about positive crank case ventilation, in which I wanted to relieve as much pressure as possible, but still retain the PCV system for daily driving benefits.
I had intially come up with the following sketch
Now it was time to put it all together.
A while ago I had rex powdercoat a valve cover for me, as I was tired of the red stock cover. I also drilled out the sides of the cover, so that I would be able to place -10 AN lines to it. These relief holes are above the baffle plate that is in the stock evolution V.C
here is what the cover looks like
a picture with the 1/2"NPT to -10AN fittings installed.
Realestate under the hood of my car is very limited. The catch can that I have is rather large, so I definitely had to get creative with a location for placement. I decided that I would place it infront of the transmission an under the intake pipe. I ended up using an old saw zaw BLADE, bending it up and creating a bracket to hold the catch can
here is what it looks like under the intake (you can barely see it )
Oh I almost forgot, I made this intake completely out of straight pieces of 4" stainless pipe. However the guy that tigged it up, did a terrible job, where I had to spend about 4 hours, grinding everything inside the pipe down, because of all the slag that was present. Rex, then finished her off with some black chrome powder coat. I think it looks really nice now, you can't even tell that it was pipe cut
Moving along, I began to take off the old cover, transferring gaskets,pcv valve, and the little washers that go under the V.C bolts
if you look in this picture you can see the air oil separater which is by the oil dipstick in the left side of the picture below
I added my -10 AN Prolite hose, to the 45 degree -10 an fittings, definitely gives it a nice contrast
installing the cover
here is a picture of the can without the filter and with the hoses attached
and finally with everything together
here is the finished product, sorry but the GF was taking way too many pictures, so I am posting them all up
and finally with the hood closed
Hope you enjoyed my sunday afternoon work.
have a great week everyone
later

JaketheVIII --- Thank you for the comments, I truely appreciate it.
crcain--- Yes I just drilled the valve cover, just trying to ensure that I was above the Baffle plate. Then I tapped the V.C for 1/2 NPT. I do beleive that the valve cover is magnesium or what ever the stock V.C is made off.

only difference between the one I have and the one in the link is the dual inlets

sorry for the old thread revival, but how would you drill and tap the valve cover without getting metal shavings inside the valve cover and trapped behind the baffling? I want to do this but im scared I would end up not being able to clean out all the shavings and getting it into my oil

Has anyone inspected the baffling seperating the vent ports on the valve cover? It is practically totally sealed. It made me wonder, what is the point of -10 fittings when the thing is baffled like nutz?
