Crankcase Pressure. FREE HP!

[ChevyKiller]

my car has breathers...well remote breathers..same concept...both side plumbed to a catch can with a breather. If you do both sides you will be fine.
Mine is remotely located to prevent oil mist on the motor...you can get a look at it here

Dave, this is exactly what I did (ran the passenger and driver side to a catch can with a breather on top)

I relocated my power steering over there too. what did you mount the tank to? Got better pics?

what tank..the ps or the breather can?
if you mean the breather can it has a clap tha mounts to the fender.

guys the tank is by Stefs
I called him and told him what I wanted. He has them with one -10 or -12 nipple on board and he quickly added another and mailed it out to me.
I ran a -8 line from the passenger side and a -10 from the drivers side.
The can has an element in it so most of everything that comes out is just air...it can be drained too.
Here is the same clamp on Cali's car mounted in the same fashion as mine so as to clear the P/S can...you can order them at Summit

If I have a breather on the pass side and a catch can on the drivers side and was soaking the breather with oil would this be a sign that my setup is acually causing more crankcase pressure ?

Im more interested in the power steering lol

you cant have 1 breather and a catch can. both sides need to be vented with breathers, or like Dave has to a can with a breather. You cant use a breather on one side and not the other

So I was acually robing power then like that ?
And if you have breathers on both sides does it keep you from pushing oil out one side ? ( I do understand there may be some residue though)

I made a bracket for me and for Cali. Here are some pics so you can see all the bends...look how the top rests/clips over the seam in the strut tower. Then I used a socket head screw you can see in one of the pics to secure the can to the bracket.
Dave

btw the black thing in the box with the 2 claps is a chair leg protector...AKA big ass vacuum line plug..LOL for the supercharger intake hose that was plugged on the drivers side..LOL

On Cali's car both sides are ran to a catch can correct ? Also whos PS can is that beautiful unit?

let me be clear..I only showed his car for the 2 brackets. He DOES NOT HAVE A BREATHER SETUP. He has a catch can...sealed unit...the pcv set up is still intact in those pics of his car...Completely different.
The P/S cdan is from Canton

Making sure that I'm following along correctly..... I like the idea of plumbing both sides to a catch can and venting the can, like GI JOE and CK. So, you're using a Stef's can that was modified to have two inputs, right? And a clamp from Summit...... what about the breather unit on top of hte can- is that from Stefs too? Thanks.

part number 5116 and I called him and told him what I wanted and he added another fitting. I think I had to get AN reducers to make one of them a -8 but I'll bet he can actually weld the proper one on or weld 2 of the -10s and you just get a reducer for one side ( passenger side coming in) I think this part nuimber is -12 but he has -10
The can comes with the breather cap

Here is another option more like C/K...nice but I liked the more closed cap. Mine vents from holes on the bottom surface of the cap

Would you mind making another? Ill gladly pay you for your time and materials!!

great man thanks for the info

If I remember correctly someone on this site installed a GM vacuum pump and did the before and after dyno pulls, no change. I agree breathers are the way to go, as I had trouble with my oil separator earlier this year and eliminated the setup.

Yeah, that was me. I'm still using the setup, it keeps my engine compartment clean.

The driver side cam cover goes to the vacuum pump, the pump output goes to to a Moroso catch can with a breather that's mounted under my bumper. The passenger side cam cover has a pcv valve then goes to the catch can too.

So this is strictly an FI mod? No need on an n/a car?

So, you terminate the line going into the SC housing and run the line from the drivers side valve cover into the can, Where does the second line come from and does the Baker can you list here have the correct number of inlets?

Yes the baker can has 2 intlet. Again one will require a reducer because ( to answer your other question) one line come from the drivers valve cover -10, the other comes from the passenger valve cover -8. They both are plugged where they were introducing air into the intake track.
The way I did both mine is cut off the factory hose pieces about 2" from the end and stuck them in the respective size hose. That way it retains the factory fit.You can use a decorative clamp if you like. WALA no more oil in the intake...EVER
Here is a pic of the how I did the ends. The pic is from a previous catch can set up so dont pay attention to hose routing...just to illustrate the use of factory hose ends.

 

[Dex]

yea, you should make one for me too!

How much Joe, I will pay as well?
