Got a couple of quick questions on your catch can. Do you have a diagram of how you set it up? Would a Magnacharger be plumbed the same way? Thanks in advance.

It's super simple. Just a fitting on each valve cover, running over to a baffled catch can. This is THE most simple setup. However, I am NOT running a PCV setup, or a MAF.

You could run this setup with a maggie, but you'd have to make sure it's set up correctly. What are you planning to run?

Had a car show at work this past Friday. Figured it would be good to take it out one last time before I tear into it to swap engines. Tied for 2nd place, lol.

It got a little bit of attention :)

Since you have had a bit of time on the road with it, what do you think of the No Limit wide ride IFS? How about the overall handling with your set up?

I'm so-so on it. Wasn't happy with a lot of fitment issues, but it seems to perform well. Interested to see how it holds up over time.

I am running a Maggie and a MAF. How would you set it up? Nice car show!

New shoes. Waiting for my lug-nuts to show up tonight to put them on.

Finally got them on. Levels it out quite a bit, and got rid of most of the rake.

Nice shoes! Looking forward to seeing the winter upgrades. Here's a diagram on how I plan on plumbing the catch can. Thoughts? Also, are you running a one-way check valve in your fuel system?

Wasted Income 10-09-2013 09:38 AM

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
 
I would just run the valvecovers to the "dirty side" and put a breather on top of the can. I'd then plug off the line on the blower.

Not saying it's "right" but that's what i'd do.

Sweet...my photobucket pics are working again.

Went out and did some comparative driving with some buds last night....on the hurt motor. haha.

My buddy in the RX7 was talking smack, so I figured what the hell....

Won't this be putting unmetered air into the engine? The method Jeff recommended is basically just venting to atmosphere but with a catch can to keep the engine bay clean... same thing I'll be going to on my swap car.

When are you going to get the new motor in? Gotta see that!
