Catch can for paxton sc?

You should remove the pcv valve if you are going to go with breathers. If you don't it well never vent out of that side because it needs vacuum to open up. Now in most cases it wouldn't be an issue and the PS and oil cap would be sufficient. But with the added cylinder head pressure from the boost you may get some oil drippage or spray with only two breathers. I just got some new replacement valve covers and I'm going to cut the valve out before putting them on. Prolly in a week or two.

Whats the best way in removing this PCV valve? Do I have to remove the valve cover to access? or those the nipple screw out from th valve cover?

You have to remove the valve cover. it is tucked behind a little baffle. I cut that and then peeled it back exposing the tube with the valve in it. Then cut the tube and remove the valve. Then I just kinda bent everything back and put it back on. If I remember, I have a set of covers in my living room, I'll see if I can't throw up a picture when I get home.

If you got some pics that would be great cause as i tired google searching on how to remove and didn't get to many results. I got all my filters on order so im eager to have this mod completed.

Here is the valve built into the valve cover and what it looks like when removed.

In one of the other posts I notice you have a fitting installed where you removed the PVC tube. What size of fitting is this and did you have to tap it?

I purchased that fitting and a few others from Summit Racing. It is a vent fitting with a 37* AN 12 connection. It uses an “O”Ring, washer and jam nut to mount in the valve cover. I supplemented the “O”Ring with Right Stuff sealant. I also reduced the diameter of the flange so it would better fit in the recess in the valve cover. The black fitting in the pic. is a adapter that replaces the oil fill cap and provides a threaded hole.

Thank you for the info. Sounds like a simple modification rather trying to cut the PVC out of the tube.

Any issues observed running with the entire baffle removed? Other post that I have come across mention to not remove the baffle plate.

I have had no issues at all with this venting setup. The only thing that baffle could do is provide a place for crap to build up.

Thank you for all the info. I have placed an order for the breather vent fitting.
