Default Post your PCV system pics

Ok guys, just got this project and I'm not very familiar with LSx PCV systems.

It appears I have one large hole on the drivers side, and a small 90deg nipple on the pass side.

What should I do for a PCV system? Please post pics of your setups.

Why block off the pass side rear port? and why not have all 3 of the ports go to the can and vent to the atmosphere?

Got to find the diagram on how we hooked up ours, but here is a pic of the dual can setup.




I used this diagram, just imagine a turbo instead of a super and there you go. I am not sure if I'll still need to vent the oil cap or not.

Added the pcv to the driver side valve cover....hose into the canister. Then a one way check valve inline from the intake to canister..."T" in the line. The "T" line then goes to the inlet side of the turbo with another one way check valve. To finish it off, the one port on the passenger side was capped and a small filter was added to the other.

Mine is just like this. Except, I added a filter to the one nipple on the valve cover and the line to the intake has a "T" back to the inlet of the turbo.

Sweet SS, does the catch can hose go to the valley cover port or the port on the side of the throttle body?

The port on the side of the throttle body.

Does anyone know where to buy a check valve to use with AN fittings? I want to run -10 an fittings. Thanks

Go to your local hydraulic service center. Anywhere that is an aeroquip deal for example will have them. Someone might make a nice piece with -10 male both ends but I can think of any off the top of my head. If all else fails the easiest way would be check valve that is female 5/8NPT both ends and then buy a 5/8to-10 adapter.

Hope that makes sense.

just a few lines into a breather tank for me as well, like above...this is a thing that can be effectively done in quite a few ways so its really up to you on how you want to do it.

Thanks for the help. I've searched different sites but have had no luck. Summit racing has one but only 1/2inch. I guess I could adapt it up to -10 but they don't even give specs on it. Anyone else have an idea? Thanks
