Stm balance shaft inspection hole breather fitting
#16
I used a 150* fitting, and routed the hose out in between the compressor housing and the block. However, this fitting pushes a lot of oil. It filled the radium catch can it was on fairly quickly. I wouldn't run it unless you want to drain the catch can at <1000 miles intervals, or you have a big can. When I took the hose off the fitting to remove it, oil came out of the hose. Also the catch can was full of oil, not just standard condensed crank case vapor goop. So I really don't recommend this fitting for non-racecar use.
I've since went to just running two -10 lines out of the valve cover. Works like a charm..

Thanks, you're the second person to mention that. It was a toss between that or dipstick vent. I might just block a port off the catch can and just run it from valve cover. I'm barely losing oil now so thought that would help.

I don't daily the car, so this may still be an.option for me. I popped a turbo at a track 3.5hrs away from home. I'd like to do anything I can to reduce the chance of that happening again.

Digging up an old post instead of starting a new one.
Is this needed when going over 700whp and wondering if it will fit with a morrison fab TS manifold with EFR8474 ?
And then on that note, for the valve cover is the -6AN fittings wide enough to allow enough flow or would it be better to drill for -10 fittings ?

I'd stick with two -10 fittings on the Valve cover. I'm using that setup at 1000-1100hp and it moves a small amount of oil into the catch can after some runs. Thats on a well used 2.2 with 25K on it.

My engine is fresh, was just put together and about 200km on it. Still running it in on a gt3582r.
Just ordered a Morrison TS kit and efr will be going in sometime July next year, so I'm sure I will need the extra crankcase vents then when turning up the power.

Do you have Kigly/crank scraper? Do those help in reducing oil in the PCV system?
