Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

The KB cold air kits don't get air from the support. It draws air from inside the passenger fender. It also comes w/ block-off plates (large peices of sheetmetal) to keep hot air from the engine compartment out of the fender.

Does that help you find yourself at all?

EDIT: Now that I've mentioned it, I have NEVER seen a pic of the block-off plates on here. I've only seen mine. Makes me wonder if they came w/ the kit or if David made them himself.

Im starting to think this time of day you and me are the only ones on here. anyway that does help with my air flow question, so if I rerouted my I/C lines through there thats the same place it will draw the air? Do you leave the battery box and set the new air box on top of it?Thax for all the late night help,Im hungry I think I need to run for the border.

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

I think it would work. What kind of filter would you use? I have an extra KB kit at the house.

BTW, my battery is in the bed of my truck...

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

Got it MMP.. So if I ran that blue tube to a oil/air seperater then a line from the seperator to the air filter with pcv connected I should be OK!! right????

if you do it that way, you have to use a separator like this from mrweelr's sy:

but if you do it like this, you need 2 separators - one for each pcv valve. At 50-70 bucks each I decided against that and made my own. PM Jeremy (mrweelr) if you want to know where he got his, I forgot what he told me. He'll be happy to tell you though. You can get a similar one here: http://www.steeda.com/store/-catalog/555-3710.htm

Also where did you get the air/oil seperator from and what part# is it????

the one I got was 25 bucks shipped off of ebay. Should still be up there, search oil catch can or oil separator. I had to do some machine work for mine to work the way I wanted it to. here is a link to all of that: http://www.pbase.com/ty1770/oil_separator

lastly, you do not need an oil separator at all. Most all cars just have oil residue in the intake tracks and air filter plumbing, it is more prevelant in turbo cars though. That is normal, and most likely will not hurt anything. Is there a horsepower gain associated with the oil separator? Probably tiny if anything at all. I just dont like oil getting sucked into the engine. Hope this helps!

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

Now that I went out and looked at mine im more confused.I have 2 ports coming out of the back of the T/B, the top 1 is plugged off at the moment, not by me, the bottem 1 goes down and connects to the valve cover in a T and then splits off and goes to back of the motor with a bolt in the end of it.I still have the connector on the bottem of the T/B that goes to nothing, doesnt even have a hose on it.

All of those ports are correct. Leave the one plugged, its like that from the factory. The next is for the boost side pcv valve. The open port is for warming the throttle body with coolant, and is not used for syty's. If you look closely there are 2 open ports - one in, and one out. just leave them they way they are.

describe in detail when the line goes to the valve cover and splits off in a T and has a bolt in it. That doesnt sound right.

KB came with thin aluminum fender block off plates.

Thanks Dave...:tup:

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

This is how I did mine. Not sure how much of a difference it makes but be sure that the "boost PCV" is used. I have the part number here somewhere. The"Y" was totally eliminated and the front PCV and hose were also deleted. I have a breather in the drivers side and the passengers side has the rear pcv where the "Y" was.

I think you mentioned that you removed the stock crossover tube but if not then just plug the hole where the front pcv leads to.

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

Yeah that is not venting your crankcase under boost. You'll probably starting burping oil out your breather if you have one. Or create an oil leak if you are boosting a lot.

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

Thanks for the info. I haven't noticed anything yet but I'll keep an eye on it.

OK on the BACK of the T/B top port plugged everyone agrees, bottom port goes to a T in the valve cover, the left side of the T, then the bottom of the T goes into V-cover, and the right side of the come out does a 180 deg. bend and goes behind the motor, when I pulled it up from in back it just had a bolt stuck in the end of it.So the port on the bottom of the throttle body goes to nothing right? So what origanaly pluged into the crossover tube about the middle or a little to pass. side, mine just always had a hole there so I plugged it off to prevent debrie from getting to the turbo. thanx everyone so far for the help!

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

im assuming this is the T you are talking about?

if so, the right side (front if you are working on the truck) goes to a vacuum side pcv valve pictured above, and the blue hose goes to that hole in the crossover tube. reference pics I posted earlier in this thread. verify that this is the T and follow the instructions and you will be fine. I can post part numbers for the 2 different PCV valves. If you have a different T then you should probly get a pic so we can help.

below are the 2 ports on the TB that should have nothing on them:

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

Ok chris i think Im getting it mine is just wrong, I have a T like the pic but the back side of it goes to the port you have circled in red on the back of the T/B, so it should go to the pcv valve, where is that? I dont have crossover tube so I need to remove the bolt from the front side of the T and attach it just behind the air filter some how? Thanx for your patience his is so frustrating when your starting with everything wrong. these trucks have enough challenges geez.

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

dude, when i started with my truck everything was wrong too. haha. gimme a sec to post what u got to do.

Re: Pcv System Pics Pics

1: you have 2 pcv valves, each goes into the T in the valve cover. They are the shiny things with the black plastic 3/8" barbs on them. You have one for boost and one for vacuum, so the crankcase is being evacuated under all conditions. ill get the part numbers later.

2: The rear pcv valve (boost side) goes to a port in the TB in the pic below. Use 3/8" vacuum line for this, both ports (TB and PCV) are 3/8":

3: The front PCV valve goes somewhere near the airfilter as described in earlier posts in this thread for another member. Same thing. Reference the pics and text in post #17 to find a good location for the vacuum side pcv valve. Use 3/8" vacuum line for this as well. You may need to buy a 3/8" brass fitting with 1/8NPT or 1/4NPT (pipe) threads for the air filter housing.
