My boosted K24 EM2 -JDL-Precision-Hype lug- W2A intercooler-Ktuned

the pass side port on the IM I have my booster vaccum hose going to it. and the top blocked off, the PCV valve is still sitting the way it is, its open atm, should I block it off?? This is my first turbo car so I need some advice on this one

You should take the valve itself out and punch it clear. Have a fitting from that going to your catch can as well.

This.

I plugged my IM on that side bc I didn't need the vacuum source. Remove the pcv valve, stick something in it and 'punch' out the internals. Re-install and connect to catch can. Now, you can have all the lines go to the driver side, or have them go to the pass side. If you're having the top-most port on the drivers side of the vc closed, then i'd say the passenger side. What ports will you be using from the vc, just the two you will be adding or the oem one as well?

There are other ways to handle crank case evacuation. You could leave the PCV stock and run a line to a slashcut in the exhaust and that would give you constant vacuum venting which IMO is better than it has to be pushed out by boost or just slowly vent out. Because in stock form it functions by the motors vacuum pulling the fumes out.

So basically setup like rail cars. Vent the valve covers to the headers/exhaust?

Yes you can do it that way, just be sure to put a check valve in the line, and this would work for both the valve cover vent and the pcv. You can also leave it stock depending on power level several have done this and had success. Currently on my boosted 8th I have the pcv unmodified and I have a filter on the valve cover vent. I am only making ~375whp so I think this is fine for my setup, for power I would d something different, probably the slashcut in the exhaust thing.

thanks for the info guys. More parts on their way

I did the same as Sispeed did with his PCV (gutted and left open), also added 4 vents to my valve cover and modified the inside of the valve cover to vent whatever it can out to the T1 catchcan.

Somewheres today i saw someone drill and weld 2 -10an aluminum bungs on the BACK of the k series block, similar to what Bseries have. That to me would vent the bottom end quite a bit?

How did you modify the inside of your vc? And the b-series motor is arranged 180* compared to the k-series. Exhaust in front of bay, intake in rear. IIRC, thats why they vent the rear of the VC, thats the high end. IM side on ours is the same. So, rear of the VC on a k-series would be incorrect. Anyone else want to chime in?

My thought on that would be that you have more heat on the back side of your block being the exhaust side and more likely to have moisture ect coming from there.
