zbigtim Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 After collecting parts all winter and just got my P90 back from the machine shop, I was mocking up my intake, exhaust, and turbo this weekend. Running into a couple of problems. One: I believe the PCV valve is going to be in the way of the compressor housing, depending on how I clock the housing. Two: I was wanting to use the stock wastegate actuator for now, but don't have any good ideas on how to mount it on the larger T4 compressor housing. I want to thank all the guys here on the Hybrid Z site for all of there hard work and sharing there of. This site is truly awesome, and I would not be to this stage without it. Any ideas with these problems (which I think are minor) would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearheadstik Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I run a type of valve cover breather on mine instead of the hose... Keeps any blow by out of my intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbigtim Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have seen that before, but wasn't sure if there were some other benifits to venting to the intake. I had to look up Dothan AL. I was born in Decatur and lived in Albertville for a while. But Dothan is far far away. (I digress). Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yes, the PCV valve on the N42(probably N47 aswell) must be plugged and relocated if you want to keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarang Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 What I did to keep the PCV was to drill and tap the heat shield boss that is basically in front of the stock PCV hole. Just go down to the hardware store and get a 1/4 NPT tap. The tap will have what size drill to use. Works good, although I do have a catch can between the PCV valve and the block outlet.

Pyro Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I would install a rear sump oil pan and oil pump pick up. Then re-clock the turbo so the output is pointing downwards and then run the intercooler pipes under the oil pan and up behind the alternator.

zbigtim Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks for the replys, guys. I will be getting the stuff to tap and relocate the PCV, probably in the heat shield boss like aarang suggested. Pyro, that is a very interesting idea on running the intercooler piping under the pan. But for right now the budget does not allow an intercooler. Maybe later this summer. I will definitely keep this in mind. I was able to trim the mouning bracket on the WG actuator and get it mounted tonight. I will post pictures later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepwalkn Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 grave dig but hey, what about a new 90 degree fitting from the PCV out the fitting would then face forward rather than down, you could clear the compressor housing quite easily by doing this.
