Where did you get the polished radiator support?

 

Thanks for the nice comments again. As for price, not sure yet, havent added anything up yet. As for PCV, have a breather for oil cap and a catch can coming that will be Tee'd in. Not sure on the TB to VC line, you may be right.... i'm going to call up Rich tomorrow and see what he thinks. What are your guys thoughts on deleting the entire set up and venting everything? Good Bad, maybe? haha Thanks

 

i say delete the whole thing and vent it! that is what i am doing with my car! but you know that just voicing my thoughts! i also would like to hear what people think about capping off the intake and TB and then just vent the crankcase

 

what are some negatives to venting entire system?

 

Hey I have a question for ya. I'm in iraq right now but when I get back to I'm going to install TRT's stage 3 kit running 6psi and one of their cams to match. I'm guessing that you had your tune done in NC right? Where did you get it tuned at? I'll be at Ft Bragg and none of the sponsers here are anywhere close. I've posted threads in 4 fourms and this is about as close as I've come to finding someone who might know someone that KNOWS how to tune an LS1 with boost.

 

you have a pm

 

Turbo-Zone is making me a custom Radiator Support...

 

Lots of good info in this thread:

Good luck!

 

ok thanks, here's a little ms paint i did. Thinking now easiest and best option is venting entire system. Give me some input please, thanks!

 

I've got the back two valve cover ports y'd together and then to a port in my air cleaner pipe.....so when I'm under boost it puts a vac pull on those two back ports.

PCV line goes to a one way valve then a catch can (not vented) then to a pcv valve then to the manifold port behind the tb.

My TB port between the blade and the airfilter is plugged.

 

sounds like another good set up.... what are your thoughts on the set up above?

 

I don't see where the green line accomplishes anything If I understand it. Basically, it's connecting both valve covers together via a catch can. Won't really move any air in either direction.

 

Except it will act as a dual vent since the catchcan is vented.

You'll small some oil fumes that way but it will vent the crankcase .

 

yea, this set up vents entire crankcase and wont get any oil into the intake.... would like some more input please as i have to set up my PCV soon so i can hit the dyno!

 

me and superman were talking about this and what his little pic shows is what i planned on running, i know there are better ways to suck the air out with a little vacume but then you always stand the chance of oil in the intake.

 

jonny, whatever you do, don't mount the catch can in the same spot mine was mounted. you could die. im not at all joking. i drove about 10 miles today and my eyes stared wattering and i could hardly breathe. I got out and noticed there was exhaust fumes coming out the top of the catch can and going directly into the cab of the truck.

I had to re route the hose temporarily. i can still smell fumes on myself and that was 6hrs ago or so. use extreme caution please.

 

dang, well mine is going to but up front much more where the AC condensor used to be. Thanks for the input Dan, really appreciate it and best of luck with your truck!

 

Well i just talked with Rich who will be tuning the car and he said that setting up the PCV this way should be fine so i think i'm going to go for it... any last comments/suggestions on it?

 

do it to it jonny!

 

OMG! thats crazy... first time i hear of that... gotta look into that...
