Well that's made up my mind..... ever since reading about this things - I visualise oil going thru my TB every time I floor it, and me no like that idea. For the price anthony's got on them at the moment it's worthwhile even if it doens't serve any 'measureable' function.

Did the kit come with everything needed to fit it?

what about the pipe that runs from the rear rocker cover to the t/b...doesn't that have to go to the catch can as well...

im with 96.....i think you should be blocking up the vac line from the maniflod and running a hose from the rocker cover to the catch can remembering to plug up the hole in the intake hose. the pcv valve closes under acceleration and opens under decel to pass the vapours into the intake. when the engine breathes at high rpm the cranck case vapours will be too much thus the excess vapour will go up the intake hose into the throttle body.

Its the fresh air intake for the crank. For the most part the air flows "into" the crank thru this hose. It only flows from the crank to the intake IF blowby exceeds the capacity of the PCV valve.

Ideally you would remove the PCV entirely, add a breather to the front cover then feed them both into the catch can --> then to the intake.

well u can put it on either breather

but i put it on this one caz it had more oil in it then the other one... which is wat was suggested..

how ever to do it prop i would have put both breathers into the catch can then back in
