why would i be cutting a hole in the hood for it? plenty of clearance

 

haha the way the coupler is on it in the pic

 

drove it today. spiked 20psi. lol i think someone was messing with my boost controller. and the spring is too stiff on the BOV so it surges a little. i have another spring on the way. bringing the car home tomorrow or tuesday morning

 

no more whale *****.

 

that was while we were putting in the new intake. gonna throw a quick coat of paint on it before it goes back on. the whale ***** is back on for now

 

Wheres the car now?

 

still at joes. he is finishing up some minor stuff. we put the new fuel canister in and put the tank back in the car today.

 

what size hose are you running to the catch can? still getting any blow by?

also, could you link me to the can youre running? i'm about to switch to a dual hose setup but can't find a good can.

 

sounds good cant wait to see it in action.

 

running all -10. the can is huge. it was really the only place i could put it. just letting you know, this is complete overkill. i have a breather set-up that would be deemed by like a 800hp car

definitely man. i can't wait to see the g8 either

 

well i haven't really seen any other options work. i'm running a single hose similar to a -8 to a breather tank and i still get blow by

 

but your motor is hurt as well. get one of the ls1 filters that replace the oil cap to see if it remedies it before you spend a bunch of money on building a breather set-up. i have the PCV deleted as well. haven't seen even a puff of smoke

 

yeah i'm gonna be doin a rebuild soon so im just tryin to figure out which route i want to take ahead of time. i would do the ls1 filter but i've heard people say it gets oil dust all over the engine bay. i found a fitting that screws in place of the oil cap and has a -10 threads already on it so i was gonna get that and then have '-10 fitting welded onto the back. just can't find a can with two -10 inlets.

 

my can had one inlet and one side capped off. i just found another fitting to remove that cap and add another -10. it does spray oil all over the bay but it would serve as a good test. but if your rebuilding, it doesn't matter much. i actually have that oil cap adapter. it didn't clear my hood with a 90* standard fitting. it has to be a really short 90 for it to work. they are like $55 shipped new. i'll send it out to you for $40 shipped if you want it

 

any of you guys running the oil filter cap replacement consider putting something over it like the dry shields for the air filters? take it out and clean it or switch out and take it off for showings. would work to keep the **** out of the bay though haha

 

yeah i'll definitely keep that in mind. if you don't mind waiting like a month lol. gotta find out if i'm deploying or not. if i'm not. then pickin up like a $500 hoopty and startin the build. what can do you have? or did you buy it locally

 

JEGS Performance Products 52202 JEGS Oil Breather Tanks

got this one. thing is huge though when you actually try and put it in the bay dude. i am not joking. lol

 

don't worry i'll have pleanty of room. i plan on trying to get this thing lookin clean as **** while doin the build so i'm more than likely gonna have a chassis/race shop back in my home town move the fuse box to the trunk and i'm gonna run the autowerks big ass intercooler with the piping going straight down off the tb instead of through the fender

 

well there would be tons of room without the fuse box there. just be warned that is a big project and more than likely you will be having some voltage issues with those lengths of wire

 

well i'm still debating if i want it in the trunk, or in a containment box up under the dash on the passenger side.

 

USP(Unlimited Street Performance) intake manifold is currently being built. Hahn intake manifold will be for sale soon! $500 obo!

 

you ***** i just ordered a ttr one lol i woulda glady took the hahn for 500 lol

 

the ttr is a nice piece as well. i am just going for a manifold that is superb quality with almost no welds showing and the welds that do show are being ground down and powdercoated over. almost a seamless manifold. it will be available to the market soon!

 

i dont mind having the ttr mani cause it is a nice piece i just mind the three week wait on it lol

 

well mine is still going to be a delay as well. just wanted to generate interest for sale of the intake manifold. don't know when mine is going to be finished with the powdercoating and all
