routing your pcv

If I have to lines, one coming from the pass. side valve cover, and one coming from the pcv valve on intake, and they are both t'd into the duct before the supercharger, would this be an efficient vacuum source, or do they need to be at separate vacuum sources?

Re: routing your pcv

There is not enough vacuum before the supercharger for the PCV system to operate normally. Just leave the driver side PCV in its stock location and run the passenger side breather hose before the supercharger. The PCV Valve is a one way check valve and won't leak boost. Then cap the throttle body where the breather hose was.

I also put an air compressor air/water separator in the breather hose so I don't get oil in the intake of the supercharger. You can get details over at projecttransam.com about the separator.

BTW How do you like your BMR tubular K member? Was it hard to get the alignment right?

Where is the stock location, because every since I had my car, it's always been in a different location other than stock. And I didn't have the breather hose connected to the throttle body. If you had pics of which port the hose was on, that would be awesome. Is the stock pcv location under the throttle body on the intake?

If you see very little track time, and it's mostly a daily driver, I would stay with the stock k-member.

The BMR tubular K member really frees up access under the engine; that's worth the price even if you didn't get a weight savings! Alignment is straight forward other that I had one of the nuts loosen up over time. The shop used loctite after the realignment.

Nevermind. I went to the website and it had some pics of where the pcv hose goes. I've never had it go there before. All this time.

Re: routing your pcv

So your alignment feels strong? Mine feels like it is a little loose.

I have the BMR lower A arms with stock upper A arms and stock k member. I had the car aligned by tire discounters and the tires were wearing pretty bad on the inside about a year later. I just wondered if you have had any problems with tire wear? I was even considering putting the stock A Arms back on.

Sorry about the hijack.

No tire wear issue and I'm also running the BMR lower A arms with stock upper A arms w/poly bushings.
