pcv system

[mhill53]

This weekend im going to remove the catch tank and hoses for cleaning,im thinking of fitting an aftermarket catch tank instead of the pcv canister in a more accsessible place rather than under the inlet manifold against the block and exhausting to atmosphere with a braether instead of back into the turbo system.Has anybody already done this and are there any reasons as to why i shouldnt do it?

i've been thinking about doing it that way myself & removing the PCV, but not sure how it will work

i'm thinking of the 3 engine breather outlets (pipes A, H & main pipe in C) joined up via 15mm T-pieces to the catch tank inlet, & block up the sump inlet (pipe G)

personnly i would leave the pcv catch tank on the car and run the pipe to an external catch tank and that works ive done loads of them

[mhill53]

if you leave the catch tank on which pipes are you running to it and which pipes are you running to an external tank?

if your leaving the PCV then simply remove connection E from the air inlet to the turbo & put it to the inlet on your catch tank, have a small piece of pipe then on the catch tank outlet which you leave open to the atmosphere. Obviously you block up the hole in the turbo inlet pipe
