It is not like eastern states and it is not free. Infact, expect about $700-$1200 fee if it is still being run by private company. Assholes.

So 5 gas test is $700-$1200 or is that for the im240 test?

I dont want to be paying $700-$1200 for a test that isnt perminant if thats the case. Fek that joke

Also i know you can get a little bit of oil vapor coming out of the head cover breather will that be benificial going into the the intake and spraying onto the filter as thats its direction? or is that something to live with? and will it be half decent that oil might be slightly lubricating my turbo? <--- something the engineer pointed out.

This is how it should go..
Keep ur PCV connected if you got Power FC it should not be working at all aniway..
unless the ecu is programed to run..

stock ones are on dotted pink line

and what you are trying to make is the lines going from intake pipe before the turbo to ur valve cover.

you can not have a breather on the catch can or any exposed "Paper" type filter.
have to be solidly mounted
oil leak proof.

that should do it easy :thumbsup:

Na you don't want the PCV connected to you IM under anything higher than 5-6 PSI

yeah exactly after the first time i blew my motor which could have been because of my PCV setup. Alot of guys told me the same also. I think ill stick with blocking the IM

That's completely crap. (I can see you've turbo'd alot of hondas NOT!)
on a turbo setup your getting 10PSI of pressure on the inlet manifold. Your motor will not last very long with extra pressure.

The whole idea of a PCV system is to release crankcase pressure, not add to it.

Fastfwd - don't need the bends at the front. Its supose to help stop each end breathing in oil fumes but i doubt it will happen with the intake pulled in by the turbo. I've run clear pipes with reinforcement so i can see the oils and there has been no problem.

I tried the first one that has a breather on the top of the intake, doesn't work as well as the filter clogs and then makes things worse.

I'm currently running the setup you've reposted and so far i'm getting no burn of oils

ECU has nothing to do with the PCV working or not. Its all a mechanical, the ECU has no control over it at all.
Also the setup posted has no breather filter, it uses the intake as a breather

BTW - FWD, i'm looking at adding to the PCV system with additional breathers. Will show my setup once i get my brakes sorted

Yeah well the Engineer said that you dont need to go back to the Pre-Turbo intake for the PCV he said that can run off and breather without any legal issues. The breather for the Head has to be directed back into the motor (pre-turbo intake) so it can be re-filtered buy the Cat via burnt threw the motor.

Limbo is this how you currently have your inlets into the pre-turbo intake?

And this all works fine for you? i thought it wouldnt make much of a difference like this anyways and this is how i was going to do it but if you think the bends make a difference then i might aswell do them.

Don't get too excited. You can have all the permits in the world, cops can still yellow you because they are not vehicle-inspectors, so even if they *think* something is not right, they have the right to yellow you to force you to check it out at the pits. (ie: cost you time & money....over and over an over)

How else do you think those people with brand new, unmodified cars get yellowed?

yep that's how i'm running at the moment with larger tubing. With the breather, it was getting clogged and needed to be cleaned all the time.
i'm using 13mm piping. Just used abit of other tube to bring the size up.
I don't think the bends make any difference. i didn't bother with them.

Cops always harrass you for breathers so less work for me both ways.
