PCV Supplier?

[Rusti Evo]

Being a newbie I don't know where to buy a nice shiny PCV and fresh air inlet to suit the 1 inch grommets.

Haven't been able to access Realsteel website for couple of weeks, still gives me "buffer overload" then dies.

Any favourite suppliers?

Hi Rusti, I got a Fram PCV valve from real steel, but also needed a new grommet to take it, they do that too. You would be better of phoning them on 01895 440505.

Another useful number is Chris at W.A.S.P (Wisbech) 01945588091
For braided hoses and fittings at reasonable prices I use Fay at Speedflow 08702250097

There should have been a PCV in that big box of bits that came with the car!

Howdy Gary,

Yes in the Big Box there is a PCV, however I always wanted a really big shiny billet aluminium tarty one ...

Like this one from W.A.S.P. I think it was a Billet Specialties Breather?

A Can-Am with a tarty PCV valve, just sums it up

Graham,

Can Am jokes aside, did you run a restricted fresh air inlet or just seal off the other breather?

It's Rusti who wants to be tarty come on, out of the closet Rusti

These might be a better view of the engine. I was recommended to run a PCV from the carb base and an atmosphere breather from the other valve cover and a crank breather from the mechanical fuel pump cover. I have no leaks.

You do need the restricted inlet and a one way valve for it to act as an active pcv circuit with vacuum in the casing.

But do you use oil?

I have just changed, Stoneleigh being my first true run, to a PCV valve setup. I now run a PCV value to the throttle body base and the other breather into my air filter holder. This I have seen done by Toyota, fresh filtered air can then be pulled into the crankcase or flow into the throttle body. But I still loose oil somewhere, doh!

Have you a very small restriction admitting air into the valve cover? If to large you'll have to much air flow. On some engines it's little more then a pin hole.

Ebay £6.00 including grommet, not billet though:

Do I use oil?????????? Both morning and afternoon sessions at Goodwood used 2 litres each This being due I reckon due to bizarre overfueling by the horrid holley D/P

Still awaiting a reply from Mr. Fastco who says he can supply wonderful QFT as cure

Hi all

with regards to the pcv which is the best way to run it?? I have a unused vacuum on my throttle body...

should i run fresh air from my air box to one of the rocker covers, another pipe from the throttle body to a pcv on my breather box???

Kyle

The standard factory breather system has a pipe from each rocker cover to a catch tank and then two pipes out of that to atmosphere.
I have closed one of the catch tank outlets.
The other has the PCV valve fitted to it and piped to the base of the carb.

In operation the carb draws a vacuum on the catch tank which in turn draws on both rocker covers. There is no other engine breathing or air inlet.

Yes, you want vacuum from under the throttle blades.
