O.k. I called four different vendors/installers, and all four told me a different way to do it..has anyone caped of their intake manifold and tb. from your valley and your valve cover one to a y to the top of your catch can. The bottom of the catch can to the inlet between your supercharger and the air filter? When i called Procharger they said not to use a one way check valve! Thanks, and yes I have researched it for some time. Looked it up and posted on it. Still at a dead end on the right way to hook it up. Thanks for any info..

I think because everyone's "right" way was more like "their own" way. Bottom line is you want to filter it before it goes down the intake and you want a one way check valve so the boost doesn't go INTO the motor. You also want to make sure there's some breathing to the motor under boost so it doesn't build crank case pressure and blow out your dip stick.

I think that is the way I have it set up. Is it ok that i cap off the tb and the intake manifold? Thanks for your feed back.

Cap off the intake manifold? What does that mean?
If you do, and I understand correctly, you lose the benefit of fresh air circulation to purge all the junk from crankcase vapors.

I've found success on capping off the intake pcv provision and just run a line from the valley cover and valve cover to the catch can.

Heres the way mine is set up:

Do you have any close up pictures of your set up? Thanks

Here is a picture of my current setup. If you look just right of my fuel rail you can see where I capped off my intake. The catch can is from ARE.

So is your dip stick popping up under boost? Is that why you have a band on it? Thanks for the pictures..

Brandon619

Yeah it was, but after my new pcv set up and new dip suck o-rings it doesn't pop out any more. I'm also boosting 19psi!

Sweet thank you.

on that note i've had small spots of oil from the catch can/valve is this normal?

While changing my water pump I also changed to a RX dual check valve set up. I installed a PVC valve (Purolater PV774) in the driver side valve cover (pulled plug on the rear (fire wall side)of the valve cover). The pvc valve is tee'd to the fitting on top of the valley cover,(one of 2 ways I was told the other was to plug the valley port and run straight out the drivers valve cover) then routed to the catch center fitting (crankcase gases/oil in). One check valve is plumbed to the inlet side of the procharger as close as possible to the inlet(supplies vacuum while in boost) The other check valve is plumbed in the intake vacuum port (supplies vacuum when not in boost). As of now the passenger valve cover is plumbed into the air filter (clean air to crankcase) as the RX inlet filter is back ordered. When it arrives the valve cover fitting will be plugged with fresh coming in through the Rx filter. This system should never pressurize your crankcase.



My Current RX set-up




This is the old set-up Husky air compressor oil separator. bad news bears with this setup not enough capacity. Oil everywhere-filter- inter cooler (outside) engine block ect
