J240ZTurbo Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Tony, thats what I was thinking , relocating it a little forward I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Look at the Turbo Manifold, and you will see the PCV is forward of the N/A location. Getting a Turbo PCV Hose will show you EXACTLY where you need to put it, and give you a good properly heat-rated hose for the application.

24OZ Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I blocked the original hole and taped a new hole further forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getoffmyinternet Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yeah it's too close. PVC will surely melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J240ZTurbo Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 does anybody know the exact location where I can tap this in and what size of tap I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I got extremely technical: I took a turbo PCV Breather hose, stuck the valve in it, stuck it on the block, then marked the bottom of the manifold with a sharpie. Took manifold off, drilled and tapped a hole, reinstalled and didn't look back. I took the PCV valve to the hardware store beforehand and said "I need a drill and tap so I can put this in something" and they handed me two pieces and it was never checked any further than that! 3/8 NPT maybe? Too big for 1/4" but maybe... Go to home depot and look in the piping bins, you can see what size it is there. No need to get complicated about this. This isn't rocket science. You see the turbo, you see where the scroll is. Move it so it's not interfering with it and sink the hole!

J240ZTurbo Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Tony thanks for your help, no is no a 3/8 is too big, anyone has the answer? what is the correct tap for the PVC valve thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Well if 3/8 NPT 'is too big' I know for a FACT that it's not 1/8 NPT---so what does that leave us boys and girls? 1/4 NPT C'Mon! Silver and Demming Step Drill for the next question... Edited September 5, 2011 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zack_280 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 This is driving my crazy. It is PCV, not PVC. PCV. PCV - Positive Crankcase Ventilation (Usually at least on this forum) PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride (Usually) Here are some alternatives for the same acronyms http://www.acronymfinder.com/PVC.html http://www.acronymfinder.com/PCV.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler031734 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Or, just plug it and not run a PCV. Quote from six_shooter: the PCV valve is really quite important to the proper operation and logevity of an engine. A proper system will will crankcase fumes into the engine to be burned off, clearing damaging fumes. These fumes acn deteriorate the gaskets, and leave excess pressure in the crank case, without the PCV system connected. At higher RPM, the PCV system will, when connected properly create a small vacuum, or at the very least less pressure in the crank case, allowing the pistons to move down the bores easier, helping create more power than without the PCV system connected.
