Hey Guys
Anyone got a photo of the spot where you plumb back the oil catch can to the B16A2 block?
Also maybe the part number of the fitting I need to connect the hose?
Thanks guys

Luke same thing. Normally it plumbs back up to the throttlebody, the place people take the boost reading from, the one you took apart.

engine breathes from block > to catch can > back to IM for reburning of what can didnt catch
if your thinking of draining catch can back into block,then good luck with that,must be some funky new catch can u have,everybody else has to drain their can manually.
for boost u might want to think about caning your rocker cover inlet as well

he's talking about where you plumb back the catch can drain, he's already got a drain point.
Its the lazy way of getting back the oil to the block, without having to physically pour in back into the block.
I can't rem where now though.....

you need 2 fittings on the the block.
ask adrian if he has any.
the bottom of the can will go into a t piece that comes from the top, then into the block.

Mine is setup so it drains back into the block, I just replaced the large hex plugs at the back of the block with the OEM fittings. Works well :thumbsup:
EDIT: Heres a pic showing the plugs Im referring to for anyone who does not know what I am talking about

Bit unsure why you need to use both?
What connector do you use to connect the hose?

I use both coz the B20 block doesnt have the normal PCV port on the block and the 1/2" spouts would flow more freely anyways.
As for the spouts they are 11107-PK2-003 from 98-01 Honda Prelude I believe they were originally designed as an oil cooler joint but works well as a PCV spout on the B series block. There is also a washer they goes with the joint that you may or may not have to buy separately, I would ask the guy in spare parts about it at your local Honda dealer.

On my B18 we drained it straight back to the sump. You have to remove sump and weld on a dash fitting.

lol We've already removed and drilled my sump for the oil return line and put it all back together....
No way I'm going it again :o
I know there's a spot on the back of the B16's anyway
