Re: Venturi vacuum pump

What is the white thing on the valve cover line, a catch can?

Raptor was going to use a mechanical pump. Those flow much more than this could. He was also going to tap into the block, since this is where you want the air coming out of, not the valve cover. There are a bunch of cars running a venturi style, but they normally use the exhaust pipe to create the venturi, not a tiny little vacuum line.

The biggest reason that people do the breather filter is because they don't want all that oily mess going back into their engine and IC, which yours still has. You are on the right track though.

Re: Venturi vacuum pump

the little white thing is a fuel filter, it collects oil like a catch can to keep the intercooler free of oil.

yes, a mechanical pump would probably work out pretty good also, but i would consider that overkill.

the stock PCV valve works great for off-boost conditions, and this is for only when you are boosting.

Its not the size that counts! its how you use it!

I am using this catchcan because you can see through it, if (when) oil starts building up in it, I will know.

A more permanent solution is going to be putting a larger catch can there. This will require moving the location of the catch can, but it will be in the same location in relation to the routing of the vacuum line
