tsnow,from this diagram it looks like pcv gos into drivers side valve cover and runs around to passenger side and straight back to throttle body on a ls6 intake.this is correct,wright?

My passenger side valve cover doesnt have the second tube. I put the PCV in the drivers side and run a 3/8" hose from it to the passenger side of the intake just behind the throttle body but on the intake. The passenger side goes from the valve cover to the throttle body. All of my connections used 3/8" hose. Since I had to modify the baffle on the passenger side valve cover I am going to either run a catch can with two inlets and outlets or have to run two seperate cans. One for each side. I seen where people used a set up off of an air compressor to catch the oil. I am unsure of how good that worked out for them but the principle is the same. I may get cheap and do this on the passenger side as the drivers side will be more apt to expel oil.

Could you do me a favor? If so, I would like a closer pic of the fuse/relay setup your wiring harness has. The one I got with my rewire is ok but is sort of homemade looking. This guy that rewired my harness went to great pains to make the relay setup look good and I must say he has all of the wires equal length and zip tied together for a uniform look but he soldered on or crimped on spade connectors onto each wire rather than buy some relay pigtails and make it look proffesional. I have a little work to do to my harness before it is ready to be added on. I found a firewall grommet that is a two piece and simple to install. Check out Steves thread I sent it over there.


Looking good!!!! Keep up the good work hope to hear it soon.

PS: Thats a nice quilt you have there, your wife is going to be pissed!

Thank you sir!

well what ya guys think??where is my best place to pop the wiring harness through?going to run it to under the pasenger seat where im going to mount the computer!

I put my computer under the front of the center console, below the radio. I sent the wires through a 2" gromet/hole in the firewall there. The computer is easy to access here if you ever need to take it our for modifications.

That might be a splash area, maybe go higher, but choice is yours,

Here is an idea from another member on LS1Tech. Its a little low but should be fine.

I talked to entropy and you definately have a dual pass radiator. Are you going to run an extra trans cooler? Is that a steam tube near the top? Thanks

bmf5150

i would like to run it under the seat,but im concerned as to how hot computer may get?any ideas how hot they get??thanks for the advice guys!

or my other option is to relocate the battery to the trunk and mount it there.i could put a stainless cover to hide it!what you guys think?or you think im ok under passenger seat?

In my opinion the under the seat is a good option. It looks good where you have it but to relocate the battery and run the heavy gauge wire from the back to the front sure is a lot of work and a lot of money. On top of that the battery will eventually corrode the inside of your trunk. I am thinking the firewall or the right side inner fender is where mine is going. If I knew it would stay dry I would mount it in the cowl of my hood. Make a cover that would close in the cowl induction that doubled as the PCM mount. Run the harness out of the back side where it wouldnt interfere with anything and be done. I did pick up a fuse block similar to the one you have. It has a main lug for a hot wire and everything is cleaner looking. I have 4 relay pigtails coming tomorrow to eliminate the 25 spade connectors my rewire guy crimped on. You may want to fire it up before you mount anything. Looking good BMf as usual!!!

How hot u think the PCM gets???that's my only concern

I ordered my ironworks bracket last night. I think for now it is going in the engine bay. Without the Vintage Air setup available to see my clearance under the dash, the engine bay will be the safe alternative.
