PCV Reroute

[James Hess]

Well i ordered a PCV rerout kit today hope it gets here soon! anybody else have this here?what do you think of it?

[LarryJewell]

I did my own, homemade with parts from Home Depot, I think I have about $15 in it ;)

[James Hess]

lol i wanted to go that way but i liked the factory look of this kit really clean. hey i talked with brayden and i decided to wait till later after we get this house situation squared away (sign the final papers tomorrow) they should be done building by the end of november :thumb: cant wait. soon as we move in i am putting the car in the garage and throwing my head and cam package on it and begin the tuning process lol we will see how it works. hopefully i will be hitting low 12's to a high 11 but we will see.

James I would research as much as possible before you go out and buy one of these cheetah chargers. Nothing wrong with them, but if it were me I would give it more time to prove itself.

[James Hess]

Larry whatcha think bud? cheeta turbo?

[James Hess]

UPDATE: got the re-rout kit in the mail today and i didnt waste anytime putting it on hell i didnt even change out of my work clothes(military uniform so nothin special). so another thing to add to the list :thumb:.

[mandersonle]

Where did you get the re-route kit and how much? I saw this post the other day and looked around the site but never saw the product anywhere.

KC did his last week and it was easy and cheap. I can't see buying a kit to do this. It is very simple.

yea I did it with Home Depot parts, and I also did the Resonator delete.. I think mine looks very clean.. If I had the resonator back on it, you would not know I had done it.. Where did you get a "kit" for this at?

[blksmok]

OM,
Would you mind bringing over your write up and we'll put it in the DIY section?

[James Hess]

i bought my kit from a fellow over at DP sorry i haven't posted a reply to yall i haven't been on the site for a while. Tony Burkhard is his name/screen name, the only reason i bought it was so i didnt have to fuss around and go from place to place trying ti figure somethin out. his kit came with some really nice machined fittings that used the existing hardware for the PCV system and a cap for the intake tube plus zip ties to hold everything still where you place it. a little pricey but oh well i have some pics of the fittings(what you can see of them) in my albums.

[Oilfield_Mafia]

wouldnt mind at all.. :thumb:

[James Hess]

i would definatly like to read your write up to see actually how easy it is(maybe next time i will be more apt to do it myself) ):h

[Oilfield_Mafia]

Posted.. also posted my LBZ airbox mod.. and as soon as I get some days off and get home I will do one on my EGR blocker, Finger stick, and Antenna delete..

[James Hess]

sounds good bud already read it and it is a good write up. :thumb:

Thank you! :bow:

[JeffCon]

I'm curious as to what the benefits are and if I would still pass the emissions test with a re-route?

Thanks!

[1953drtelco]

If they see the reroute you will fail, at least in Calif....

[JeffCon]

Thanks. In WA state they don't look under the hood and from what I gather it won't show up from the tailpipe emissions. But so far I've read that some say it's a fad but others swear by it and I don't know enough to have an opinion of my own yet.

[NWTDIESEL]

The PCV reroute is definately not a fad and works very well.

[OTHRGRL]

The benefit is it keeps you from sucking oil into the turbo and pushing it through your boost tubes and intercooler and into the motor. Add in the soot from the EGR and it makes a nasty tar that will coat everything from the EGR valve into the heads with a nasty layer of "tar". I've seen it over 1/4" thick.

Thanks for the information - sounds like I better get on this.

[NWTDIESEL]

Were doing one on a truck right now and its nasty. I cant believe this guy bought a built motor and he still has a stock PCV, stock DP and alot of other stock parts. This guys PCV had a crack in the tube and oil was going all over the place.

Wow gos to show some people just dont know.

[justinb]

Do you have to do the EGR block or delete in order to do this, or does it not matter. sorry i dont know a whole lot about this stuff

[OTHRGRL]

You don't have to do the EGR block or delete - they are 2 different things. PCV routes oily air (ventilation from your crank-case) in before the turbo - so it goes through your boost tubes and intercooler then into the motor. The EGR routes already burnt exhaust air with soot through a cooler and back into the intake tract just before the motor. The combination of oily air and soot makes a nasty tar, deleting either one is a step in the right direction, deleting both is best. If I had to choose which to do I would block or delete the EGR first - or disable it through tuning at least.
