yes, Might want to do a leak down test to check rings. your engine should burn the oil from your crankcase but could lead to a lean condition with a pcv.

On my Camaro I run 2 PCV valves like a factory turbo Syclone. One works normal plummed into the intake, the other goes into the air intake side near the filter. It only works under boost. Both of them have small oil seperators inline and small one way check valves. I should have a few in progress pics in my Garage.

Have you got any problem with the procharger getting dirty from the oilfumes or do the oilseperator do the job properly?
Just to be sure that I understand the system correctly.
PCV valve to intake ( carb ) with checkvalve and oilseperator.

Normal breather in valve cover.
Can you please tell me what kind of oilseperators and checkfilters you are running.
Thx

are you spinning your blower full - and if so what intake temps are you getting and what psi are you running at the intake.
how much hp are you running?HPDE is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
So much to learn......so much $$ to do so lol

Sorry guys. Difficult to keep track on the threads.
Ok I did this for now. I found an empty vaccum port on my carb sitting in the lowest part on the backside, removed the 2 small brass plugs and threded it and installed an AN fitting which is now connected to the hose from the PCV valve.
I already run a water/alcohol system.
I am not running full boost since my engine isnīt built for it..... yet.
I would think around 7-8 psi is what I am running.
There are soo many things that needs to be changed and I am not sure if it isnīt cheaper to start with a completely new motor built for boost.
I know that I will need new heads, new intake and also forged pistons, but I am not looking to go completely crazy, maybe something like 600-700 hp max.
I have just bought new willwood brakes, a rear suspension from Prodigy plus some more of the nice carbon fiber parts from Anvil.
Hopefully it will arrive soon from Frank.
thx for all the replies, it is such a pleasure to be able to use all you guys knowledge.
