3sgte recirculated, Now with PICS! Options

[jgreening]

Today Carl at Speed Source made me a new intake so I could recirculate my Greddy BOV. Here are the results:

1. No more backfires
2. No more puffs of black smoke out my tail pipe
3. No more ricey BOV sound
4. Better response after shifting

All in all, a great mod - unless you like the sound (which I don't).

Here are the pics:

whats the benefit of venting it?


read the first two paragraphs about how those gases are bad for your engine. that alone would make me want to have mine hooked up the right way.

The PCV system needs a vent. The only benefit over a rerouted line is cleaning up the engine bay and possibly avoiding a clog in the system (assuming that the filter is kept clean).

As for the first two paragraphs, keep in mind that the potential damage occurs if the blowby is not released - not if it isn't routed into the intake path.
