I think I’ve done it, is this OK, doesn’t quite make sense to me? :-/

Nope; you "T" into the pcv line to front of intake (plenum) , not cai

jchammond · 08-05-2017, 01:08 PM

One hose goes to that valve (pcv) that red silicone hose is hooked to & other hose from tank to where red hose hooks (plenum) ...do that on both sides.

Hoses seem too long for the setup you're saying, I'd need to cut the off, are you sure?

jchammond · 08-05-2017, 01:23 PM

Couple simple pics.

I may have confused you by originally saying from PCV to tank & tank to intake (instead of saying upper plenum)...it's where the vacuum comes from to suck oil vapors out from pcv valves & tank catches residual (eng. oil) in tank.

Yep; as he was Twin-Turbo'd & they route a bit differently & use a check valve...
as the plenum would be filled with boost pressure under acceleration & could cause crankcase to pressurize & blow out a few seals.

I'm surprised that the ARC container doesn't have any arrows of flow direction.

You can wait & see if any more peep's comment...but this way will work for you [or] i'll pay you for the cut hoses if it doesn't.

Like this, right?

jchammond · 08-05-2017, 01:57 PM

yep, the 2 red ends....look's like the arrow could be pointing at the high pressure fuel line.

octet · 08-05-2017, 02:01 PM

Come on, I'm not that stupid! LOL

OK, will do this now and update the thread with pics, thanks a lot.

jchammond · 08-05-2017, 02:07 PM

Very nice tank,,, Those aren't cheap!

octet · 08-05-2017, 02:09 PM

Hmm, hoses are larger than the intake ports

jchammond · 08-05-2017, 02:21 PM

could be what those 2 - 90* nipples were for...it needs to be snug; so you're gonna have to bushing it up some.
