I’ve done several turbo kits and lots of research and i still dont know how to do a catch can setup or the benefits of this over an oil breather(rice filter lol). please explain!
hey man, so your in cinci now? no more tearing up york huh?
first, i think you meant pcv(pvc is plastic:) )
check this out for some great info… http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1199935
still got the DA? hows boost treating ya?
PCV - Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve (we know what this is)
PVC - Polyvinyl chloride - common hard compound used in plumbing, siding, seawall bulkheads, even is showing up in a lot of newer cars.
The good ole g2ic guide has it all outlined. Just find a nipple between the compressor and the air filter.
Look into the DIY $10 oil catch can found at home depot that’s a husky air filter.
yea i saw i misspelled that right after i posted it lol.
I will be back in York this summer, i just go to school out here for this year at least. The Da is chillen at home, i sold my first turbo kit, gathering parts for a new one with bigger power goals. should be fun.
thanks, that really helped (the pic)
You really have to have a catch can if you have a turbo. If you have it say plugged into the intake manifold you’ll get blowby when the turbo spools. The only part of the intake that’s always seeing suction is the Part where I told you to plug it in at. If you don’t have a catch can then oil will go into the turbo (BAD).
There are two reasons why you don’t want oil going into the air path
1)Buildup of oil can damage the turbine, causing premature shaft failure
2)The oil will mix with the air charge and actually lower the octane rating of the fuel which will cause detonation.
I did a nice writeup on turbocharging and use of the PCV system back some years ago on homemadeturbo.com. Their search engine is fucked, otherwise I’d find it for you.
does it need to have a filter? i am not too keen on spending nearly 100 bucks on a moroso will this do the job?
it doesnt have a drain but how often do they need to be drained? is it that big of a deal?
I told you to look into the DIY oil catch can. Look around on the intraweb and various forums will have writeups. Very easy to do and it’s clear so you know when it’s full. If you don’t want to be hassled with draining it you can just let that shit leak out to the street. I prefer to drain mine… right back into the valve cover since I try and not waste oil (but it’s only going to leak from the pan gasket anyways).
i just finished piecing together my breather setup. I have the Endyn setup going to the back of the block, and also 2 -10 lines off my valve cover to another moroso can. I just have to get the -10 male bungs welded onto the front my valve cover then i’m done. I spent a little more then i wanted, but i think its worth it.
it really depends how you want to do yours. Open? or closed loop? Theres a bunch of topics on honda-tech that explain everything. the link above that thelate1 posted is probably the best one.
ok i read the one on honda tech and that setup has a filter on it as with many others. it isnt necessary is it?
and so you do this???
- cut & plug the IM vac line.
- Get the fitting for the pcv valve for the back of the block (u think areoquip will have that)
- get a vac source pre-turbo
- run the lines
- put a breather on the valve cover. (can u T it into the system?)

first post says/shows pretty much everything… only thing i did was to T a line from the valvecover to one of the lines coming from the back of the block.
Also, dont run a drain back line… drain the catch can yourself cuz why would you want dirty oil and unburnt gas going back into your motor
2 questions, are you taking out your old pcv system and plugging it, and running it like the ENDYN setup to the back of the block? or are you gonna just run a line from your catch can to the old pcv system?
i’m guessing you want to go the closed loop route. yeah you got it pretty much, run a pcv or check valve on top of your catch can (moroso can i’m guessing), and run the line from there to the pre turbo. and the other nipple(s) to where ever you’re venting from on the motor. either the old pcv system, 2 spots on the back of the block, or from a modified valve cover.
on the spots on the back of the block, can anyone tell me the part numbers for the fittings to go to the tubing for the catch can?
so…
x2 12207-634-300
x2 11107-pk2-003
sounds good. it will probably be about 2 months till i drop all my $ on this, should be ordering my manifold this week. i will post it all up when it is finished.
question, Is it safe to temporarily run my engine say to school and back home with a broken catch can tip where the hose from the IM PCV valve goes in to? And I been running my Hose from IM straight into Catch can with no PCV Valve is this safe or is this hurting my engine? Thanks in advance for any info??
i have a stock JDMB16 with typeR internals, can i just be able to replace my current catch can with an OEM catch can, and how much are they anyway at the dealership?
