I am getting close to firing up my new setup and I am trying to narrow down a few details. Bare with me, I am using my phone to post this.

I have a s480 going on my 408 and I am using a new set of kbracing hot pipes. My old setup was running a MP t-76 with kyles old pipes and my breather fit great. So fast forward to now and the breather doesn't exactly fit well.



I am changing my catch can setup from a non vented to a vented setup with a #8 line from each valve cover to the vented can with a line from the turbo to the can also. So my question is, is there a direct bolt on filtered breather that will clear the turbo? I haven't even put my blanket on to my turbo and it is already touching. I have considered forcing everything together and hoping that my blanket will keep the turbo from melting the full tube but I don't know. My breather I have now is a Casper breather on a TBSS filler tube.

Any ideas please let me know.

 

not sure if it would work because ive never tried it but what about switching valve cover sides and putting the vent on driverside ?

 

That might work. I would probably just have to get a short filler neck. That is definitely an option. Then I could just drill out and tap the old Pcv port to a 1/2" pipe since I have a 1/2 pipe to 8an adapter and run that line from the moved passenger side. Doable!

 

Screw one of these into your valve cover and run the -8an line to your catch can. I have one on my car in -10an...works fine.

 

^^ That's what I use.

 

Don't you need to have a breather on the motor for fresh air? That fitting would make it really easy to put the an lines to the catch can for sure. But then do I need to get fresh air into the crankcase?

Edit-do you think a #10 is needed? Or an 8 is ok?

 

Its not about getting air into the crankcase. Its about getting gas from the crankcase out. Boost increases blowby.

 

I understand that you do not want any pressure in the crate case. I guess in actuality you would want to have a vacuum on the crank case at all times. That would make it easier on the rotating assembly correct? Why did I even bother running a breather on my old set up? I thought you still needed a way to get fresh air into the crankcase. If not then perfect. I will just run both valve covers to the catch can.

 

Are you running a filter also or just the lines to the catch can? And are they 10an or 8an?

 

Just a filter.
