Above your head? all air is 1psi? hehehehe Friday night drinky poo's?

sorry to bring up an old thread. but ive just disconnected my pcv valve hose and put bungs on either end (inlet manifold) (side of rocker cover) and running 2 lines from breathers to catch can...blocking the pcv cannot do any harm can it? also know since ive blocked the pcv ive noticed alot more blow by comin out the filter in the catch can now... hrmmm...with the pcv hooked up could that somehow drop oil into the exhaust side of the car and blow clouds of oil smoke now and then?

i know this is very old, but saves starting a new thread.

as l0WRB stated,

after fitting rb26 rocker covers i have eliminated the pvc valve on my rb25.

this caused MASSIVE blowby, my catch tank filter had oil smoke pouring out of it..

how do i set up a pcv on rb26 covers on a rb25?

Don't want to start a new thread so im asking here,

Ive had some rough idle and rough running at very light throttle and trying to hunt the issues down, so I notice my PCV valve hose is cracked, the hoses on the rockers I haven't connected to anything and I noticed theres a fairly strong suction happening there,

is it normal to have a strong vacumn coming from the rocker cover hoses?

would having this hose not recirculating be creating a vacumn leak? eg same as an atmo BOV?

Im wondering if the pcv valve might be open creating the vacumn and therefore creating a vacumn leak,

thoughts?

you are correct, the PCV connects to the plenum, similar to any other vacuum hose but the only difference that seals off on boost to prevent boost leaks.

If you have broken hoses on the PCV connections and leaks on your cam/rocker covers it will affect your idle. To get around this just replace the hoses or completely block off the PCV and run a full atmospheric catch can setup.

thanks mate, i think ill seal this PCV valve off to be sure and see what happens, i think this maybe the cause of the car wanting to stall when i quickly come to a stop after a squirt but will have to see .

sounds about right, also are you running a PowerFC?

yep and these issues only popped up when i first did the GT30 upgrade and the rocker covers wernt plumbed back into the intake pipe, so makes sense now :wacko:

if you're having stalling issues after a squirt, there's a menu on the hand controller that allows you to adjust the decel fuel cut off (same page as idle), if you set it a little higher, like around 3k ~4k rpm the motor doesn't hesitate or stall after a good squirt

if anyone's interested:

[Rev. Limit ] レブリミット rpm
[ the F/C A/C オ フ ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns off return rpm of fuel cut
[ the F/C A/C オ ン ] when decelerating when the air conditioner turns on return rpm of fuel cut
[ the IDLE A/C オ フ ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns off
[ the IDLE A/C オ ン ] idling rpm when the air conditioner turns on

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
