Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

That'd be perfect. I don't mind if it makes the volume of it smaller, I'll just empty it more often.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Scheides is crazy, he is now running three Kracka Vents rather than the usual two! He is running a fairly unique catch-can setup that I think will work well.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

fo sho yo! One from pcv location, one from tranny side of valve cover. Those lines run to a brass T, then one hose going up to my catch can. I had a breather filter on the other side of the catch can, but decided I wanted a vacuum source on the whole system so I ran a 3/8 hose to the other end of the where the stock PVC goes to on the intake manifold. Hughes suggested that pressurizing the catch can was a bit of a waste, and probably ultimately a boost leak, so a third KV goes right off of the IM now to keep things happy powerwise.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Wouldnt this work? http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...medium/KV1.JPG

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Yes, but put a KV inbetween the valve cover and that little filter you got there and you'll be set :)

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Scheides - can you draw a little diagram to help explain what you did? Sorry I get easily confused :)

95Talonracer - I personally wouldn't go with that method. You have no vacuum source to draw the air out at idle/low throttle conditions.
Also, you have eliminated your PCV. Normally, you are drawing a little bit of air from the VC into the IM. This is unmetered air, but the ECU expects that air to be there and compensates for that. If you get rid of that, you may notice a change in your idle quality.
Also you are going to leave an oily mess under that little filter.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

I am going to put another KV inbetween the little filter and the valve cover. Also I am running a GM faft so the air doesnt matter there going into the intake. Would I even want a KV inbetween the hose on the side of the valve cover? I think ill take that one out.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

My personal opinion is that you should have a KV at both the PCV and breather ports coming off the valve cover.

Scheides and I just worked out his setup and he'll be running a total of 4! Its a great design though and I think it'll work great. I'll be adding a 3rd to my setup...

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

I'll do better, I'll post pics when all is said and done!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Is there a reason you removed the PCV setup and replaced it with a little filter?

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Hopefully you can hide all these KV's, seems like a lot of added clutter under the hood.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

They fit inline with your catch-can or pcv lines, or your crankcase breather. I was anxious at first to tuck all these lines away but now that I know what they are doing I have them setup to be as straight and smooth as possible. I will post pics when I have my full setup done!

Next step would be to replace the fuel line hoses with some pimpin braided SS lines with AN fittings....but that's going to get expensive pretty quick!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Luckily, they are so small they can barely even be seen.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Paint them black or have Halon powdercoat them for you, and there you go!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Hmmm...I should talk to Brandon about getting a batch powdercoated black.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Go Nylong braided nignog.
Lighter, Less Abrasive, Easier to assemble, and less BLINGY then SS braided! And 100% NHRA legal ;)

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Here is the CV I'll be using, installed on someone else's DSM.
Again, I'll only be running one, and should be fairly out of sight.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Brandon, where can you get that stuff? Not much comes up when googling for it.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Here is the cheapest that I know of.
http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/761335/10002/-1/10019

Or search for Earl's Pro-Lite 350 hose. That is what I have, I got it and fittings off Summit.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

You could do woven push lock also, might be even cheaper and easier to work with. SS braided is so 1990s, black nylon braided and pushlock are the hot setups.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Kick ass, can I just slide this hose over a nipple and use a standard hose clamp?

Shane, where can I get these pushlock fittings you speak of?

Of course this goddamn braided nylon hose is $50, it will replace like $5 worth of hose I have in there now.....throwing fittings on top of that will probably double that in a hurry!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Scheides, you can use it just as normal hose if you'd like also, but I wouldn't just put clamps on a fuel line personally.

Here's another source for a different kind also. Not sure if it's NHRA legal to use it as Fuel Line, but you can use it as vacuum hose...
www.mcmaster.com : Type in p/n: 5394k and then click on the Buna-N link on the left. It'll end up being the 2nd to last product on that catalog page. We used that for all the vacuum hose on my buddies Civic. It's also what I plan on using on my car as well.

(PS if you order some off McMaster, let me know because maybe we can combine our order to save on some shipping costs).

As for Push-Lock, didn't your alky kit use those kind of connections? They are great, very easy to work with. Just push it on the fitting, and that's it. You can find those fittings on Summit or Jegs also. Push-lock is also commonly called Socketless, Push-Loc, Twist-Tite... each brand sometimes has their own little name for it.

Jegs link

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Ya, I'll have to search around for some push-locks, otherwise I think just standard hose clamps will work dandy, this is just the valvecover/crank vent/catch can system, not my fuel system.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Its to make it look perty. :)

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Well if you order that vacuum hosing of McMaster with the braided covering(it is pretty nicely priced actually), let me know if I can add to your order to help save on shipping. I want to use it for my catch can setup, and also on my boost controller.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

I just joined the cool kids club!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a98...X/IMG_0088.jpg

I can't really tell if I got much of a power gain or gas mileage because I did a few little things at once and never really kept great track of that stuff in the first place, but my idle is a lot smoother and I did replace the small amount of blow by I had with a small amount of suction instead. Overall, satisfied.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

How old is your stock PCV?

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Welcome to the club, Brian!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

I've never replaced it. So at least 3 years old. I'd guess that it's the stock one actually because the kid before me didn't know much and I doubt he'd know when to change the pcv valve haha

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Powdercoated black!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Looks amazing!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Thanks to your skillz!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

My skillz aren't that amazing, I'm still bummed with how that one side of the lid turned out :( Seriouslly let me know if you ever need it redone.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

No its fine. The can is wedged in there so tight the little areas you can see look great.

Just so people know, the KV's were done in "mirror black" and the catch-can was done in "mirror black" with a coat of clear over the top.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

what the heck?! I want black ones!!!

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Anyone who wants powdercoating talk to Brandon/Halon! He does good work and I'm sure he will do it fairly cheap.

Re: Krank Vent replacments
 

Scheides I was going to tell you I picked up a bunch of that nylon braided line from McMaster Carr. It's fairly stiff, but nice stuff. Makes things look a lot nicer. I'll put up some pics when I have some.
