has anyone here removed the pipe which comes from the bottom of the block and goes to the underneath of the inlet manifold?.. there is a check valve on the bottom end of the pipe to stop boost pressure from entering the bottom end.
This one:

I currently have an oil catch tank in place, it takes off from where the hockey puck pipe came from, the Y peice top right of the rocker cover. then from the oil catch tank to where the hockey puck used to live on the TIP.
with the pipe mentioned still in place, the engine can still take in oil vapours when it is under Vacuum conditions.
have any other pcv simplifiers removed this pipe too and what have you done to remove this pipe?.. I was thinking of using something like these blanking caps http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-Hose-End-Caps-2-Pack-Blanking-Plug-Bung-Rubber-Finisher-Steel-Braided-/270967905450?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item3f16f21caa
of the correct size to do a delete.

yeah get rid of it and just blank the pipe off...... i pulled the nipple out the mani and tapped a thread into it then jb welded a bolt into it :wink:
also get rid of the check valve its attatched to... the pcv valve.... the whole point to doing the catch can mod :grin:
you should have the pipe from bottom of block teeing into the pipe from the rocker cover then into catch can, then out the catch can and into hockey puck and into tip. (i have read various comments about leaving the puck in or removing it and i dont know what is best, atm i have removed it but kept it just in case)
hope this helps!!!

lol, only just realised this thread had a reply, thanks rio.
i`m going to use that nipple to feed boost to the N75, it does work trust me :wink:
what did you use to block the check valve underneath?..
-
or just blank off the feed on the TIP and stick a filter on the outflow for the catch can, vent it back to atmosphere, i'm trying to design an easier drain with a stop valve as im getting p!ssed off with taking my mount apart to get it drained
-
i just stuck a silicone blanking cap on my drain off. just pull it off to drain.
as for capping the TIP inlet, i`d rather not as i`d like a bit of vac to pull the vapours to the catch can..

this is true, down to personal preference then really, but i'm extending a silicone pipe to behind the wheel arch with a stop valve half way down regardless, its starting to piss me off lol

the ammount of vac that is sucking from the tip i doubt an extra 4mm hose will make much difference :grin:

lol i think he ment he would rather keep the line from the catch can to the TIP for the vac to pull the air through the can.

oh right my bad.... and just re read it.........

you remove the check valve completely!!!

yes, you remove the check valve, but what did you plug that gaping hole with lol.
i was looking at 25mm alloy blanking plugs or simular?
-
think i may be confused!!!! post a pic of what your on about :laugh:
-
No need to keep the valve once you've removed all the pipes mate.
-
lol, my god people :grin: youre not getting my question.... :evil:
i have now blocked the valve and removed the pipework, for now i have blocked off the valve with a bit of pipe with a bolt stuck in the end of it.
untill i can get a blanking cap, thats how its staying..lol :smiley:

... well why didnt you say that in the first place! :lipsrsealed: :laugh:
-
lol..grrrrrrrrrrrr :angry: :grin:
because i didnt block it off at first.. i was asking how others has removed theirs (check valve), bypass with a straight bit of pipe or put i blanking cap in the hole where the check valve was?
-
...my brain hurts, the only valves i have are the hocky puck which is going bye-bye when i fit the new TIP and the one that use to connect the mani and brake pressure line i believe
-
there is a check valve in the pipework blelow the manifold. it stops boost pressure from entering the bottom end.. you`ll probably find it hiding in a T-peice, i replaced it before now on suspect it may have been leaking.
