questions bout my 5sfe, needs to be enlighten Options

[shin]

hey guys if you look at the pic i've posted below, the 2 spot's i've circled, there's a hose connecting it. i believe that's the breather hose, am i right? so i'm wondering, if i remove the hose and replace the 2 outlets with breather filters, will it work? what will happen after replacing it? will i get like more air into the engine? maybe slight gain of hp? please help.

The one on the valve cover is a breather and yes you can put a breather filter on there... but I think the one on the Throttle Body runs coolant...

Its all one hose. The one one tha valve cover can be capped off but the other I believe controls the throttle during cold startups.

When i did my head gasket I capped it off and it caused me to idle at like 100rpm and if I didn't keep the rpm's up it would stall. When i replaced the hose all was fine.

Not sure on how to by pass it.

thanks guys, but if i remove the hose from the valve cover? what about the other end? aren't those 2 openings connected with the same hose?

There are many threads about either running a hose or venting the PCV system. Some go to their intake manifold, some go to their turbo intake.

From the mr2oc.com forums...

Do you have any vacuum supply going to the crankcase? A turbo requires a good PCV system. The small filter on the valve cover is most likely not sufficient...The OEM 3SGTE PCV is actually well designed. The small hose (going to the intake mani) provides vacuum at idle...and the large hose from valve cover to turbo intake provides vacuum under boost. The turbo and engine will function better with the slight vacuum on the crankcase at all times.

I'll be running my PCV into my turbo intake this weekend. You can check out the thread here:
