Why pcv reroute

With my understanding i would think that by doing this the motor would not be sucking in bad gas vapors in turn allowing it to burn a more pure mixture of oxygen, please correct me if im wrong.

PS this car is an everyday driver 2G with a full 1G 6bolt swap. If it is a dd, I would suggest returning the pcv valve to stock form. The fuel and oil vapor that is sucked up by the pcv is corrosive. It does more damage to the engine if not functioning than it does if it is functioning properly.

I tryed no pcv and found the oil getting black in miles so its not a good idea on a DD. At the track I wont use it but on the street yes. There have been many discussions on this subject but the short answer would be to keep it setup like stock for the DD.

Ill Effects? Putting a AIR FLOW restriction in the PCV valve line will cause your dipstick to pop up when you go into boost, oil to sometime seep from your cap, and could cause other gaskets to leak I've been running no PCV for 10, miles with no issues.

The oil is just as clean as before and doesn't smell one bit like fuel or anything but oil. I don't have to worry about boost leaks, dirty intake air, popping dipsticks, burning oil, etc.

Give it plenty of ventilation and you'll be just fine. I run 2 vent hoses to the ground just like cars ran for years before emissions were invented. Works beautifully for me, I highly recommend it. MyBeatGSX said:. Its in no way connected to the intake, MAF, engine in any way. It is its own system now, that's the beauty of it. What I like about this solution is that its low-cost and that it has no effect on air-metering since it is air-tight.

I've been running no PCV for 10, miles with no issues I use this nifty thing as a catch can, Comment Post Cancel. No smog issues up here in Susanville. I think that the Dmax has an oil separator in the PCV system that drains the oil back to the pan on the drivers side front cover near the bottom. I'll have to double check.

Time will tell. I know this is an old thread. My lml has the pan drain. To keep pressure from building in the pan. The reroute kit installed is specific to the model trucks, but Merchant Automotive also offers a kit that fits the and newer LML models. He completed the installation in just over an hour, including our typical photography slowdowns.

The crew started the installation with the resonator delete since the resonator must be removed to access the PCV.
