I want to delete the pcv system and run breathers, can anyone give me pictures of there setups and breathers?

its a 98 and still has the ls1 vally. so what do i need?

and yes i searched thro all the website and found a few but nothing really solid!

thanks

 

Just pull out all the hoses and plug all the holes. On the back of the driverside valve cover is a hard plastic line goes in. I cut it off leaving about 2inch so I could slip a plug over it. There is an adapter that fits where your oil caps is. It cost like 50 bucks. Im not sure where you can buy it, mine was givin to me.

 

cap everything run a 3/8 hose frome valve cover to valve cover in the back and but breather where your fill cap goes

 

I have the breather part that you screw in just like the oil cap and it allows you to run a old type of breather. I want the stock pcv myself.. hint hint

 

left the pipe in the back form cover to cover as well.

 

I capped everything up front, bought an extra passenger side valve cover and ran 2 breathers. So far no oil in the intake and tb but I'm still burning oil.

 

instead of buying another passenger, could i just stick a breather in the back driver side cover?

i aslo like the idea of puting 3/8 tube from cover to cover but will that allow enough air to escape just from the pass cover breather?

can i still do all these differnet setups with stock ls1 vally?

 

anyone know exactly where to get that breather setup? (type that goes in oil fill)

 

I went out and purchased the LS6 Valley cover and plug for the driverside valve cover. I also purchase a sweet catch can. Do I really need to run both or will the catch can be good enough? I'm not really wanting to cut the block. I purchase the catch can from this web site: http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/ What do you all think? Sorry about the hijack.

 

I would like to see some pictures from the people that did this.

 

BTW - what is the purpose of deleting the PCV?

 

It helps oil from being sucked into the intake from the valve covers.

 

I Was Told I Could Get The Breathers From Thunderracing.com And The Catchcans From Catchcans.com

If For Some Reason The Links Get Deleted, Pm Me...

 

using a catch can is the best way. you really want a vacume in the eng. it helps seal the rings = HP

 

im using a breather for a bike, its cone shaped and has a rubber bottom that you tighten on with a clamp, works great and no problems here.

 

So a catch can will work better than converting to an LS6 valley cover?

 

i seen on another web site that this will net 2rwhp, because it keeps oil out of the intake and throttle body, i may do it i could use another 2 hp lol

 

I was thinking about ditchin my catch can for the breather just cause its a cleaner look. Will the 3/8 line across the back fit on the piece in the driver side valve cover fine? You guys still running the hose to the tb also?

 

Not meaning to high jack a thread, but if i wanted to change my PCV system would I have to cut the block to go to the ls6 setup? I do have an 02 ls1 from a trans am and it is an ls6 block, so...it should already be cut right?
