i cleaned the hell out of my TB and intake last night, and was wondering if i could just stick a breather in the passenger side valve cover and just cap off the TB port for the CVV hose. or do i need to do something else for the filter to "hold it in there".

 

I took that hose off and I'm running a breather on each valve cover. I just used a 3/4" push in K&N filter. I'm also running a catch can inline with the pcv valve since thats were most of the oil comes from during part throttle driving.

 

i only have that one hole in the pass valve cover. my PCV is the looped one just a hose in a U shape that doubles back to the intake manifold. the breather i have is the autozone rubber end push type.

 

you can, but its better to leave the pcv connected, mine is a filter because it looks better but it really is better for blow by and crankcase ventilation to leave it connected to the tb

 

yea i want to get rid of it for looks and to keep the TB and intake clean.

 

A breather will do the exact same thing as leaving the hose hooked up to the throttle body. The only difference will be a tiny amount of unmetered air entering the engine which the pcm can easily compensate for, and he will no longer have oil entering the throttle body at WOT. A catch can inline with the pcv valve would still be a huge help with keeping oil out of the intake though.

 

The PCM will confiscate the air? Oh no!

 

thats why there is a hole in the o zone, everyone's PCM is stealing air!

 

...and all this time I thought it was Bob Dole. *sigh*

 

 

"bob dole needs air! (deep inhale) bob dole must breathe! bob dole must have it all!"

 

hahah /\/\/\/\/\/\/\

 

Just ribbing you speed demon.

Too bad you edited it, now anyone else that reads it won't have any idea.
