Oh heck yeah! Thats what I'm talking about! Its freaking awesome. tried and true ftw.
cant really tell from a picture. i found some flanges that are -8AN and i just thought that would be too small for the oil drain. i guesssssss ill bite the bullet and pay the extra bucks for the better flanges. Accidentally I bought some for a TD06H -10AN flanges for cheap and they are wayyyyy too big for a TD05H. I assume your flanges are different than mine?Quote:

I need to buy a leak test kit. Is about $100 from -4 to -16 but is some insurance before u start getting fluids thru it.
yeah mate the "gt series" flanges that I am using are the same as the 16g ones except the bolt holes are bigger. The weird thing is all the mitsu family turbos td02-td06 should be using the same flange.Quote:

Thanks! Seeing stuff like this makes me happy. I hope my car can inspire people to think out of the box.Quote:

So big thing today. Some of you may know about "krank vents" if you dont they are essentially a one way valve that modifies the the oem PCV system to prevent air from entering the crankcase through either the PCV valve or the intake hose.
The PCV system is there to remove "blow-by" (unburnt fuel-air mixture that "blows passed" the piston rings on the compression stroke) from the crankcase before the gases can contaminate the engine oil or increase the crankcase pressure.
Positive crank case pressure can cause smoking turbos,blown out dipsticks,piston rings that wont seat properly..etc. The problem exists because the NA pcv valve was never designed to block boost from entering the crankcase. Once boost hits, air flows back through the pcv valve and pressurizes the crankcase causing the before mentioned problems.
Lesson over, I had bought a kit of "specialized" one way valves from a company called ET-Performance. Great product and worked like a charm on my evo. I started getting some puffing from my exhaust on the tumbler so I immediately knew what was going on. However I didnt want to spend $110+shipping for something I saw as glorified one way valves. I had a company make some one way valves to my specs out of billet aluminium and got them today. Popped them in and lo and behold they work exactly the same. They have barb fittings so all you do is splice them in line and youre done. If any of the boosted guys are interested let me know and I can have some made for you too if you want.
PCV valve is a PCV valve bro it works the same way for all cars. Any PCV valve should close when positive pressure (boost) is present at the manifold regardless its a turbo or n/a application. If yours didnt seal then you had a faulty valve.
Anyways, good call on aftermarket one-way valves. I've never trusted the stock PCV valves and always backed things up with one way valves.
And Im glad that you're keeping the stock PCV configuration - thats the way to go. I never liked the vented/breather catch cans for the way they worked.
Here's a little info:
http://www.streetfire.net/video/PCV-...for_684587.htm
Thats a very informative video so people can visually see what is going on unknowingly.
I agree mine is most likely failing/has failed. Personally I have never seen an na motor pcv valve block out boost. For that matter turbo cars that have bigger turbos and stock pcv systems have the same damn problems. Thats how blow by happens. All the oil pooling in intercoolers and what not. They will all eventually fail lol. These vents were made to handle 70psi day in and day out and have super strong seals on the inside. The stock pcv can fail all it wants I'm good :)
I use these since Im an AN fitting whore.

Oh yeah I saw those too when I was looking to see what other options are out there. They look big though. are they?
dont ask why im awake.....LOL
gawd damn you OCD. I couldnt sleep and I was curious what the power would look like with no crankcase pressure fighting the rotating assembly. Holy crap....richer afr as well LOL. I adjusted timing by 2* to smooth it and didnt touch anything else. Heres the comparison against my best run. I'm just using this as a tuning tool cause I dont believe the number its telling me lol

Alllll the way across the powerband!
The car feels like I stepped on a skateboard that is constantly being pulled from underneath me O_O *happy*
So what's the price tag on those nifty custom PVC valves u got made??
$70 for both valves is what they are being sold for. a freaking steal compared to the $110 ones. I'm going to take some pictures of them today so everyone can see them.
Quick question, lol. Is that a Galant in that pic? Never seen one like that o_O
looks like early evo... 2,3 perhaps. When it was based off the Mirage.
That would be an evo 5 or 6, I also would like to see pics of the valves intalled

Lol and somehow I cracked the pcv valve right in half.....I've never even seen one of those break.

Went to the junkyard today and picked up an 8gb valve cover and am waiting for the paint to dry :P
if you can work out a group buy i be interested in one

Pvc valve. Um. Why u dont get a 02-03 valve cover, get a AN Fitting and get a vent oil catch can.
My setup

isaurio i think he did, hes waiting for the paint to dry
edit; also what yr valve covers say mitsubishi on them? i came across this when i was working on my buddys 3g and grabbed another VC and the YARD and didnt notice it till i installed it?
^^I think like the V6 valve covers, the early 8G-A (1999 and some 2000 model years) just said "Mitsubishi 16 Valve" where every year after that had the "2.4L 16 valve" stamped valve cover. It's funny, the 4-cyl guys want the newer one, and the V6 guys want the older one, especially those with 6G74/75 engine swaps (false advertising lol).
Because this setup is not correct for a street car where the engine spends 80% of the time under vacuum. Your setup only vents under boost and it doesnt evacuate crank case vapors under vacuum.Quote:

I dont want any smoke coming out of a catch can underhood. The stock system and one way vents are superior as the valves work together an pulls vacuum (very important for nice and tight piston rings) and shuts off the crankcase under boost. Mitsubishi engineers spent a lot of time engineering what will last the longest and what is most efficient. No need to re-invent the wheel in my eyes :)Quote:

A little bit of wrinkle coat and bedliner
Haha this is very true, I was surprised when my valve cover was 8g-b style.Quote:

I used to run a sealed can from the PCV to the can to the manifold and never had an issue. I'm curious if the new setup will work. If it doesn't, Marc expect a phone call because I am going to need one of those one way valves haha.
yep you routed it correctly. I just didnt like all the condensation fuel mixture being in a can and whatnot. I rather have my engine burn it off. HAHA and you know how to reach me bro :)Quote:

whatchu know bout that arctic camo?!
Sweet! That'll look nice when you pop the hood and that's the little bit of contrast on the car.
That will look spectacular!
Thats exactly what I'm going for. Gonna pop nicely!Quote:

What are you using? Just a High-temp paint? I have a CAI that needs to be cleaned up before I install it and figured I'd rather paint than polish it.
Bedliner and high temp wrinkle coat
Cough *powder coat it* cough.Quote:

Thanks man! gotta say they look pretty good! Those check valves have worked flawlessly they really are a good investmentQuote:

I pulled up to Mondo's house to put on the valve cover and intercooler piping, he talked me into spraying the bay so we pulled the motor out and I start seeing writing on the motor. Wtf straight up junkyard engine. So we pull the motor and spray the bay.

Pulled the timing cover off of the old motor and wtf?
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...rriblegunk.jpg
Gunk that looked like rtv all over the engine in there. OMG. Made the executive decision to pull the damn thing out and swap in a spare block that Mondo had from his eclipse.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...r/oldblock.jpg
cracked the motor open and holy crap did it smell bad *barf*
I started noticing problems starting up and tuned most of it out. now its clear why. crank sensor was covered as well as everything in the timing cover. Honestly I think someone killed a block in the car and put a junkyard motor in the car and and threw on a new water pump and timing belt in it. Flexplate was marked on up to the head on up to the engine block itself. Poor car. I was the best thing that happened to it. Thermostat was a jacked as well. seal was waaaaaay too big. We called it a night and hit it the next morning
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a84...er/goingin.jpg
Mondo freshened up the block out of his car.
We cleaned up everything in the engine. Painted the head the same grey that I used on the valve cover. Painted the block black. Re-routed the throttle cable. Put on the slim fan for the radiator. Sprayed the bay completely with bedliner. Deleted power steering and a/c as well. Put the head on, torqued the headstuds and retimed the motor. Put it all back together and put it in the car. 20 hours of no sleep and a finished car ......

Pretty proud of myself as this was my first time pulling a motor and doing a water pump and timing belt lol. She fires up sooooo much easier and she sounds way more aggressive. I fired it up and was like whoa sounds like it has a mild cam kinda haha.
Also, thinking about wrapping the exhaust mani with black exhaust wrap. What do you guys think?
lol wow! I would love to get that kind of time again =/ Love it the owner in the engine bay pic xD Must have fraaaaamed.
