So I talked to steve a little bit about this but figured I would ask you guys. I got out my drimmel and was going to port my lower intake mani, mainly because i couldnt hurt anything and wanted to try. Well in the lower intake mani there are holes that goes to the valve cover. Now would it be possible and work just fine if I weld those holes up and just put a breather on the valve covers? Or is this just a dump question?



Thanks

Are you talking about the Nipple for the PCV hose? I think it's better to have a PCV than a breather filter

well it goes to that nipple, I was just thinking about it. If its it wouldnt work thats fine.

Actually, IMHO it's better to route that hose all the way over to the front intake tube where the nipple for the purge control canister is just like the rear one. The stock PCV valve is just too week to keep pressure out of the heads and it's closed under boost meaning there's less ventilation.

I just cant picture what your saying here.

Hes saying run a hose from the front valve cover to the front intake hose where the purge hose used to be connected if you've removed the purge canister

For the front valve cover PCV valve?

He should chime in as ive never attemped it. I think he meant replace the valve with a hose barb. Its a 1/8" BSPT thread but you can probably use a 1/8" NPT, it just wont screw in very far

Actually, you should leave the PCV valve because extra air gets sucked in thru a larger fitting and raises your idle.

jack when are you moving to TN because im putting this motor together soon and it would be really cool to meet up and have a beer or somethign.


Coop

I dont know, i wish i had more info for ya

you going to NG or any meets? Do you own a 3/s anymore? Only pic i think i have ever seen was that one that was totally striped down?


Coop

I was at the UMG a few weeks ago. I woulda liked to go to BRG but it isnt gonna happen. Heres my last 3s, I sold it in 03





Heres the stripped down one before i stripped it

so.....when you buying another? 1g's are getting pretty cheap.

Coop

P.S. Its not a penis issue is it

The only problem is that the C5 has this special effect that makes you age 3 times as fast.

Ask Ox. Once he was a strapping young fellow, now he has grown a hunch, his hair has turned all grey, and he is getting arthritius in all of his joints. A fast, affordable, and decent looking car it may be, but BEWARE OF ITS EVIL!!!
