Not easy at all. About the same amount of work as on a DSM.

FTFY.

FTFY.

I haven't done either, was simply relaying what others who have performed the work have said. You have now done that, so I defer to your expertise ;)

Planning to bring the intake to Primo tonight. I'm going to have them weld an AN fitting on it for a return from my catch can.

I was doing a lot of reading on crankcase ventilation today.

I'm probably wasting my time trying to make the stock setup work--it is only a single fitting that couldn't be more than 3/8ths. It sounds like most setups are running two to four large AN connections (AN10+). Four is obviously overkill but I won't get much ventilation with the stock setup.

I did learn a fair bit. The can on the front of the motor (PCV to intake manifold) collects the most oil but is apparently not the important can for ventilation...the back one is.

For now I'm going to get a fitting on my intake for that connection and see if it does anything. My suspicion is that I'm going to have to pull the valve cover and have some large fittings welded in, along with a different catch can.

Went to drive the Evo to Sensers tonight. The car dies every time that I let the clutch out. Doesn't move at all. I fear that something expensive happened to the drivetrain on my venture into the snow on Saturday. Guess I'll try warming it all the way up tomorrow night and try again. FML

The beater works and the Blue Moon is cold. :)

That doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully its nothing serious.

Does it idle ok?

It starts and runs fine. I revved it a few times and it felt like the car was cold but responding normally. I tried it three times in reverse and once forward. It didn't move at all, it just conked out.

Nothing seemed unusual when I parked it. I'll try it again on Thursday night...bring a flashlight out to the garage and see if I can see anything (like a puddle of fluid!).

Was your parking brake on?

Also I have had parking brakes ice up and stick to rotors before. Perhaps that is what happened and you need to jar the ice loose.

^ +1 on that ive had it happen a few times to me. ive also made the facepalm mistake of leaving the hand brake up.
