rags Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Just got my N24 manifold back from the machine shop. Had it modified for use with o-ring injectors and a custom fuel rail made. Everything looked very good except when I mounted the manifold I see that the PCV valve is in a diffrernt location and now goes directly into the turbo! Is anyone noit using a PCV with a turbo motor? If I plug the port am I going to wind up with a real mess from the breather? I really don't want to have to go back to the machine shop if I don't have to, can't imagine how much more time this would take. Thanks.

SleeperZ Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Are you talking about an N42? All the n/a manifolds do this. I plugged the original hole and drilled and tapped a new one (1/4" NPT) in the spot where it goes on the turbo intake. Not too big of a deal. You can also plug it, and put breathers on the block and cam cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 Yeah, N42. Brain fade. I was worried there wouldn't be enough metal to tap without a boss. I'll give it a shot today. Thanks! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 There isn't much metal there. I went in a little side ways with the 1/4" NPT drill and tap to get a little more meat. I too am running a turbo setup, and ran into the same problem. I just left the PVC on the side of the crank open to vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted April 3, 2002 Author Share Posted April 3, 2002 Thougth that woould be a problem so I used a 90 degree street elbows, a regular elbow and a two inch nipple. Got all the pieces at Home Depot in the brass section for under five bucks! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
