Question's about Vortech?
 

Today I went through my motor. I found some stuff that had me wondering. This first picture is a valve of some sort, it is circled in red. It is blowing out oil under boost. Can someone please tell me what I can do to fix it, is there a breather or a filter for it? [IMG]http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1...olor9rj.th.jpg[/IMG]


This second picture, there is a hole in the tubing going to the supercharger, is that supposed to be there? Any information would be much appreciated.

In the third picture I was wondering if I could swap out the stock boot, and buy a aftermarket elbow or boot that would fit, and if so where? Thank you.

Thanks for any help, its appreciated.

I can only offer where to get a new hose.

your missing the hose that connects from the elbow to that 90 fitting off your valve cover. I can take a pic if you like and show you.

in addition your missing the little plastic 90 that connects to the metal pipe. Did they ever put it in?

That kind of acts like a crankcase evacuator, it uses suction to draw air crankcase pressure out.

oh and ya I'm sure you can find a nice neoprene rubber hose to replace that nasty dryer hose. If you find out where to find one let me know, i want one in black.. so friggin ghetto lookin

no, since ive had the blower installed, it's been the way it is now. can you please take a pic, and if you have the part #'s for the parts i need, that would be great also. thanks man

go to vortechengineering.com and find the manual for your car there, there's a part list at the end of the manual.

I'll get you a pic tonight.

you should not run the vehicle under boost, with a huge leak after the maf, as it will draw in unmetered air.

yea, i didn't have a clue till yesterday, it's crazy it's been like that for almost 4 years now:(

ok i have the parts list in front of me. would it be the oil drain assembly??? don't know what i need, do you think i need the hole assembly or just the tube that connects. alittle lost here, and alittle upset that the company that installed this thing, didn't have a clue what they were doing.


thanks

its about a 2 foot hose, you can get anywhere and a 90 grommet style fitting that goes into the elbow. should be a few bucks worth.

call vortech and ask to talk with john snee he'll able to pull up an exploded view and help you out with the missing parts you need.

hey man thanks you got a extension # to his direct phone line?

thanks guys, i just got off the phone with vortech, just ordered the grommet and 90 angle. im just gonna stop by the auto store for some 3/8 tubing. i guess 2ft should be enough.
