dmhenderson · 02-28-2013, 09:55 AM

I think the shop just goofed when they installed them. Hopefully someone can show me what I need to do to fix it at the next columbia meet

m4a1mustang · 02-28-2013, 09:59 AM

Fairfax this weekend. I will be there. Following the meet we'll be going to Todai for lunch.

dmhenderson · 02-28-2013, 10:02 AM

Not sure if anyone who can help me fix those hoses will be at fairfax. If so, I may show up. If not, I'll just wait a week.

Sales@AAMComp · 02-28-2013, 10:05 AM

DM, unplug the black boxes and plug the hose directly to your intake

What do those hoses actually do? I wonder if I still have the black boxes on my G3's......

Sales@AAMComp · 02-28-2013, 10:08 AM

They're PCV hoses, they alleviate crankcase pressure (from the valve cover) and recirculates back into the intake system

I will break something if I try to do this myself. I've been terrified of my car ever since I destroyed my headlights. I am cursed

b1adesofcha0s · 02-28-2013, 10:10 AM

Any real differences in sound/performance or they mostly just for looks?

m4a1mustang · 02-28-2013, 10:10 AM

crankcase ventilation

It's an emissions thing.

yeah that's why you see guys with FI set ups running high boost typically run a catch can set up, their intake or i/c piping isn't sucking in oil, and the catch can can somewhat "catch" some of that before it enters through your intakes

here's a snap shot of one we cnc'd at the shop for a GT-R. Except ours you don't need to dump out or hand drain, it dumps back into the block via the very last hose on the bottom

dmhenderson · 02-28-2013, 10:14 AM

I'm cool with like... Swapping out LEDs, working on stereos/wiring and debadging etc. Anything and I mean ANYTHING mechanical makes me break out in a cold sweat. Even if it's just a dumb hose/hose clamp.

I like that even GT-Rs have that ugly yellow dipstick lol

a little catch can 101 for you guys;

Seperating the air and oil

The idea is to trap the oil vapors and let them condensate and drain out, while keeping the air moving through - CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) testing and similation helped shape the the billet pieces and the unique geometry inside.
