Whats up guys - 02 3.8 Camaro - STS Rear turbo - Methanol Injection - I need to bypass STS's orginal idea of a preasure relief switch... I'm thinking of puting valve cover breather on passenger side as a vacume, and hose off of other valve cover going to my catch can with breather to release to atmosphere. First off will this relieve enough preasure from the crankcase while boosting 15 psi - And second Off - What type of breather needs to be on the valve cover? Push in - Clamp on - Weld on - And which one? Thanks for your help guys.

 

15 psi from the STS?

 

Yes - I have a boost controller that i cranked to 15

 

Have you looked at your valve covers? You will need machine some holes in both covers (driver side for sure). That is unless you can find a way to fit a breather over the stock fill cap... What is the current status of your PCV system?

 

Currently Have both valve covers drilled with 3/8" hose T'ing together going into the pressure switch - Other side goes to catch can ( used to release to atmosphere but it was spraying oil ) - bottom of the pressure switch has a line going to main vacume line. I have too much crankcase pressure my dipstick is shooting out and spraying oil - I'm just waiting for the seals to blow.

 

What is the status of your PCV system? Plugged/blocked or no?

 

Plugged - unfortunitly the 3.8 comes with an internal PCV - **** poor design.

 

So a vacuum line is connected to a line that tees and goes to both valve covers? If I read that right, you are just boosting the crankcase.

 

Haha long story short - thats the summary of it - So refer back to my original message and see what my plans were tell me what you recommend.
