W3bb3r04 build thread

[Kidd]

Man Dustin just told about your build thread, going to be awesome. If nothing happens Mine will be torn back down this time next week.
What are you going to do for your PCV?

 

[W3bb3r04]

I know! I just got the piping in on Wednesday and I'm going to start on some of it tonight.

And I'm going to put breathers on the valve covers and block off the intake.

Looking good man when will you be buying the rest of the kit

 

[W3bb3r04]

Bobby it will probably be around Christmas. Any word on that bracket?

 

[Bobby]

ok cool. i should have that bracket this week and will send it to you.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Ok thanks man!

Have you thought about doing a catch can/breather setup for the pcv? I think it would prevent oil residue from coating your engine bay.
This is what Matt did on his white car and just mounted it to the firewall. I am planning on going this route and trying to mount it low some where to prevent as many fumes as possible from getting in the cabin.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Yeah I thought about it... I'll have to look into it especially the price side

 

[Kidd]

I've been looking at them on amazon and their anywhere from $50 and up.

Well after seeing that green bullitt awhile back I wanted to do this, so I started on deleting the sides and opening up the bumper.
Here's the progression:

Now I just have to paint the lower grille area flat black!

good move on that front bumper. i actually did that at first then grew to hate the fangs so i cut them out, plastic welded it bondo it smooth and then repainted it flat black

Test fit with the lip

I'm liking the look.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Thanks guys! I'm betting it will look better with the intercooler poking through!

RJ I have had both breathers on the VC's and lines to open catch cans on my setup and I just got tired of putting up with the oil smell. With the breathers on the VC's you will have oil residue around the engine bay and with catch cans you will still have the oil smell. I just finished a new PCV/breather setup you may want to consider for the future.

There is a company called Krankvent http://www.et-performance.com/turbo.html that makes a PCV valve that will withstand boost pressure. I didn't run them the way they show in the instructions, as I don't think it would work with a blow through setup. I got a set of the them and had some #10 bungs welded in cam covers. On the drivers side I have a modified JLT catch can from the stock vent to the intake, with a Krankvent in the line. I have #10 line from the bung in the cover to a breather catch can with a Krankvent in that line. The intake line prevents air flowing from the intake into the cover so boost will not pressurize the crankcase. The other Krankvent prevents air from flowing into the cover from the breather. This keeps the driver side sealed, the intake vacuum cannot draw in outside air from the drivers side.

On the pass side I just ran the line to an open breather catch can. I know this is not supposed to work but it seems to be working fine on mine. I don't think it draws in enough unmetered air, from the pass side, to effect anything. The car was tuned this way and runs fine. I haven't any more oil smell with this setup. Here are a couple of pics.
