Prodigy Performance 3.6 Turbo DIY Install

[KaiserBill]

Please explain what's wrong with my dual catch can setup. It's no different than all other dual catch can setups out there for boosted engines, aside from application-specific mounting/routing details.

It is simply returning the PCV system to a fully closed, functioning PCV system like stock (PCV valve connected to the intake manifold, breather port connected to the air filter area). The only difference is that I add a catch can inline on each side of the system.

Yes, oil vapors do come through the breather hose. This happens when on boost. Piston blowby has to go somewhere, and the crankcase breather is the place it goes. I don't want those vapors going back into my intake, coating the inside of my intercooler (making it less efficient) and lowering the effective octane of the fuel while on boost. I also don't want it to vent to atmosphere, because it stinks (that's what it does right now). Catch can is the solution (specifically a catch can with an oil separator in it).

System is not open-- so it is not venting into the atmosphere. That will not pass emission standards for a 2012 vehicle in any state. So, I highly doubt Prodigy's turbo-kit even touched your PCV. If you're smelling oil at present it is most likely a leak somewhere... Perhaps, have a blown oil seal somewhere....

Blow-by doesn't reach reach the crankcase breather-- because the high pressure crankcase gases are drawn to the low pressure zone in the intake-- this then creates a vacuum in the crankcase that draws air from the valve cover breather to draw in continuous clean air. The more boost created only serves to help create greater pressure differentials within the engine.

So much failure at reading comprehension again

<outburst removed> Do not speak as if you are the the expert on how my turbo and PCV system are setup. I installed this turbo kit myself. I know EXACTLY what it did and did not touch. I know how a PCV system works. I have researched PCV systems, and improved on the original kit from Prodigy with a custom setup myself while waiting for them to work out details for their final solution to ventilation. You have absolutely no basis for telling me how my ventilation system is setup, because you have clearly not seen how it is setup. Yes, my current setup vents to atmosphere.

Blow-by doesn't reach reach the crankcase breather-- because the high pressure crankcase gases are drawn to the low pressure zone in the intake-- this then creates a vacuum in the crankcase that draws air from the valve cover breather to draw in continuous clean air. The more boost created only serves to help create greater pressure differentials within the engine.

And clearly you have no idea how a PCV system works on a boosted engine.

If the intake manifold is under boost, where is the low pressure zone to draw the blow-by gasses out of the crankcase? The PCV valve closes under boost to avoid a massive boost leak into the crankcase (and boosting the crankcase would be bad). The only path for crankcase gasses to take to a lower pressure zone is through the breather hose, either straight to atmosphere, or to the the air box (or air filter itself, the way I'll have to set it up), depending on how you have it setup. When under boost, crankcase gasses reverse flow through the breather. Those gasses carry oil vapor with them.

Please just never post anything in this thread ever again. Your only contribution to this thread has been to introduce confusion with incomplete, incorrect, and inconsistent claims/explanations about how things work. Go find another forum to shit on.

Just like a how you explained Volumetric Efficiency...
