Need Help with oil catch cans. Completely clueless

[RoCKstArTEgGy]

SO i have a turbo integra. Its been tuned and iv been driving it for the past few months. Looking to make it a little more reliable and safer. I would like to get an oil catch can the the fittings welded to the valve cover. I am COMPLTLY clueless tho as to how to install it and where the lines go. Also iv hurd somthing about the pcv valve being incorporated into all of this instead of just having a line off of that going twords ground. Any input is appreciated

well your pcv valve closes when it sees boosted, its vacuum oriented. so basically you have a ton of pressure trapped in the engine. two -10 ports on the front of the valve cover helps a lot. how much hp are you running?

10psi. 225 to the wheels. So what should i do with the pcv valve ? And does it matter where on the valve cover i get the ports welded and do they go in any sorta order. Like an in and out or somthing ?

Picture is a bit blurry (not mine). All of the lines coming out of the valve cover are where the pressure is escaping from, and into the catch can. As air comes out, so does some oil vapor and drops of oil. The catch can will catch this, but only so much. You need to either have it so it is easily emptied, or drains back to the block.

Many have a connection on the bottom for just that, so you can run a line to a tapped hole in the block for the oil to run back to.

tapping a whole in the block sounds dangerous. And in that pic did they get rid of or re ruse the pcv valve ??

you dont have to tap a hole in the block. there are two ports on the back currently plugged. you take the plug out and put the -10 plugs in. they are hella hard to get loose though. you dump the pcv valve on a heavily done setup, but if you daily the car id leave it there. i removed mine and i would say it caused problems, but i would leave it in next time. personally what i would do on a small hp setup like yours is just get your valve cover tapped for two -10 lines on the front of the valve cover and run a single catch can. google B&R fittings, they actually sell complete kits ready to go.
